Wisdom of the Crowd - Nella rete del crimine

Honestly wtf people Cancel something else. I think this had a chance to get bigger and better. At least let us get to the point where we can know who killed his daughter. I hate you CBS... Hate You !!!!!!! If your gonna kill shows with plots at least find a way to finish it so it has closure so we have closure!!!

A unique and contemporary approach to the traditional crime format. Impressed that a network show would introduce some new tropes into an old format. Rounded out by a deep, talented cast, this is a really enjoyable show. The pilot really kept me engaged and I'm looking forward to seeing future episodes.

Why cancel the show because of the actor who can be replaced? Just have some respect for the viewers all over the world and finish the story

I am not a regular TV watcher as there are few shows that interest me. However, I was intrigued by the premise for Wisdom of the Crowd. A crowd-sourced program to help solve crimes makes so much sense and makes it stand out from your typical crime-fighting shows. Jeremy Piven is a great actor who I have never watched in anything before, but I am enjoying his performance and all the realness of his emotions that he brings to each scene. It's an intriguing show and I look forward to it every week now.

Tech entrepreneur Jeffrey Tanner (Jeremy Piven) forgoes his wealth and his company Allsourcer to offer a $100M reward to find his daughter's real killer. Carlos Ochoa was convicted for her murder a year earlier. Using his crowd sourcing program Sophie, he aims to find new evidence with his team of programmers led by Sara Morton. He partners with police detective Cavanaugh who was dismissed from her case. His ex-wife Alex Hale is a politician who wants him to stop digging up their daughter's closed case.

This is a workable concept. It's another show where a wealthy billionaire Batman tries to save the world. He has a box where answers magically appear and a personal murder mystery that he's desperate to solve. The magic box is too magical. The general idea of crowd sourcing is easy to understand but the show doesn't explain how the program finds the right people with the right answers. The show starts off fine at first but it devolves into Deus ex machina.

The other problem is trying to force a procedural out of the concept. He's trying to find his daughter's killer. It's a simple idea and the show should run with that at top speed. All these other cases keep detouring the show. The first season should be a tightly written whodunit that wraps up with a big climatic cliffhanger. It should be an intense mystery thriller but this is so much less. The show should go the procedural route only after his daughter's killing is solved. It looks like the show is ending after a 13 episode run. The mediocre ratings don't help but Piven's sexual harassment allegations in this environment is probably the final nail in the coffin.
