Cold Justice

+ Kelly Siegler & Yolanda McClary are exemplary women without any pretentious over dramatization as they take on their roles as hosts and investigators. They work well as hosts compared to many other crime programs. The fact that they are not always able to catch the perpetrator and being honest about it, plus showing the impact on the families, is a refreshingly real take on American crime shows. The systematic take on how evidence is gathered and reviewed, interviews are taken and suspects eliminated is very interesting for anyone that loves these types of crime series. Everything is very methodical and clearly put into view. - When handling real cases, showing real victims and suspects we as an audience will never know what is steered by editing and if that is morally acceptable to put on as a show which is in itself firstly for entertainment value.

I am a huge fan of this show. Learning about each case and the way they move through the information to consider every angle is interesting. But what I find most intriguing is the psychology of everyone from the victim's families, to the detective and police offers working the case, to the suspects and of course Siegler and McClary.In this show you see law enforcement officials who really care about their community. You see the way they interact with both suspects and victim's family. You see suspects and informants that gives clues to the crime and their own complex psychology.

In the last episode I saw, a man talked about how he was offered money to kill someone else. He said that if it wasn't for the fact that he was in jail that night instead, he would have killed that person. He said he was really glad he was in jail that night. And I just thought that was so interesting in terms of the choices we make at different parts of our lives and how we have the ability to change.

In a day and age where Desperate Housewives with celebrity blood lust and too much money let their immature behavior reign, this is a much needed reprieve from the kind of women we see crowding TV. I'm tired of seeing women who behave badly. I am tired of the obsession with everything Kradashian. I'm tired of shows like Bridezilla and the Bachelor where women act catty, shallow and selfish. This show shows two women who are nothing but genuine in their quest for justice and to help people. Despite how other posters reviewed the ladies, I don't think they are smug at all. I find them kind, sensitive, intelligent..truly good examples of women, for women.

I don't need to see lots of blood and chase scenes and gore to find something to have value. People always complain about how reality TV isn't "real". I think this is pretty darn close to being pretty real.

Shows the viewer some very disturbing and sad crimes, whilst treating the victims with respect and celebrating their life. There is good case building and reconstructions which come to a logical conclusion in identifying/verifying the perp (when there is one! / one can be identified).

Kelly and her team work very well together and all genuinely care for the victims whilst striving to put the chosen cold cases to bed. A special shout out to Johnny Bonds who is a real character!

Long may this show continue!

It is different in that you see the process of how they go about trying to solve cold cases. Most of the evidence is already known at the beginning of the show...because it is a cold case. I like when they go out to the crime scene and do their recreations. I guess I am intrigued by their thought processes. Of course, being from Harris County, where Kelly was a prosecutor, I know about her and Johnny Bonds. Kelly was a quick fire prosecutor and quite successful, so I like watching her in action. I do also like that they will at the beginning give an update on previous cases covered. If you're tired of the usual crime show, I think you will like this one. I hope TNT keeps the show.

Give me a car chase! Guns! Fast pace pursuits through dark woods! and most importantly.. BLOOD! O_O

What is really important, that the show isn't fast pace/doesn't get your blood pumping/not enough drama, or the fact that these guys are giving an effort to catch killers that are currently running free?

Seriously though, even if they spend an entire season to catch JUST ONE murderer that is running free, isn't that worth it?! Also, not to mention the emotional comfort that a, "hey, your loved ones hasn't been forgotten," gives to families affected by these horrible crimes.

True, not all of the cases are open-shut.. BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN COLD FOR YEARS! This is all currently happening! in real time! There is no "2 Years Later" transition effect! What this show does is put that spotlight right back where it should be.

I seriously doubt any of the people sitting behind a computer criticizing these efforts can say,"I put a killer behind bars, and finally brought a long awaited resolution to a family that had lost hope." Maybe some could say,"I saved a dog from eating chocolate!" or "I stopped a baby from swallowing a lego piece once!" Which, cool, really, both scenarios would have me totally pumped. I personally saved my turtle when I was 7.. he had climbed out of his tank and taken refuge under our mini fridge! Lost for DAYS.. He was so dehydrated an malnourished when I found him.. :( but I never gave up looking for him! :D Still though.. not as cool as catching someone that brutally murders people.. :/

I really hope this show gets the recognition it deserves.. some people should really reevaluate what they value as "good TV".
