Cold Case Files

A good revamp of the original series of should I say a good continuation of a great original series. Some may say it's not a patch on the original or that it's too long but it captures the anguish of the victims family, it captures the tense situations and you can almost feel the the pain the family is going through. In my humble opinion each case is handled sensitively and informatively and Danny Glover makes a brilliant addition as a narrator. On a side note I liked the blurred effect of the re-enactments. Great watch and highlights the importance of never giving up on cases that have gone cold.

I love true crime because of the mystery of it all. I'm not morbid but curious of how cruel human beings can be. This series is a keeper Netflix and prime

They kept talking about a blue Ford Pinto but then showed an AMC Pacer! Not even close.

Other than that, decent true crime show but it does tend to drag a little bit. No big deal. Worth a watch if you're into this kind of show.

I find this series exceptional in its treatment of each story. The interviewees are well spoken and seem to have been dealt with respect and dignity. We the viewers are also treated respectfully: the program doesn't resort to utilizing stock images from the case over and over or recycle pan shots to extend 10 minutes of info into a 30 minute film.

The one thing that has irked me: twice, in episode 1 and again in episode 6 of season 1, they clearly describe a particular make and model of a vehicle, and then proceed to use a completely different vehicle in the re-enactment. I'm not sure why it bothers me quite so much... perhaps it's that it now calls to mind a question as to the veracity of all the other visual re-enactments/information presented. The producers clearly didn't mind using photos: they couldn't be bothered to seek stock images of the actual vehicles involved in those cases?

I enjoy this program for its intensity in mystery build-up; the cinematography is also stellar.

Albeit some cringeworthy elements; the cheesy over-dramatization, the snail-like "get to the point" pacing and Danny Glover's inordinately irritating and incomprehensible narration, the show is more than decent and worthy of any true crime lover.
