Cry Wolfe

I get a kick out of it. Have not seen the disclaimer, but I understand why there would be. I would think the principals would be killed either in court or in real life if these were the actual names of the perps and victims et al. If this were located in, say, Lincoln Nebraska, I might find some stories a stretch. But this is in LA. I could tell you stranger tales. Love the twists, love the PI techniques, I love that each episode is a mystery wrapped up in 30 minutes. I know I'd just have to hire this guy if I needed an investigator. You know you can think of many times you wanted one for some purpose, right? Me, too. So far, I have not guessed an ending and I'm pretty good at it. So that convinces me these stories are based on fact because the fiction ones have gotten to easy for me and my husband to figure out the who-did-it sometimes in the first 5 minutes.

This show is interesting to me..I watched all of them all. Wish it still come on.

in 5 min u can tell all it's just a bad act horrible story.

if it was real events they would have blurred the faces, the actors reaction every time is the same and always looking good well dressed and full make up that's just a sad show.

he is following his targets with all the cameras crew but targets wont notice hmm..

every one seemed to appear in the right angles right lights and right time!

i dunno if they still run the show i just so it recently on ID crimes channel.. but the only crime i can see is they allow lousy series to go on air !

I didn´t know this TV series until last month. It is not bad, but it is not good enough. I find the concept is great. At first, once I love these kinds of programs, I was quite excited and interested. The main problem is that it is hard to show these "investigations" as real ones, using actors and actresses. This way, it seems fake inevitably, confusing the audience about what is true or not, even when Wolfe tries hard to do so. By the way, he and his assistant are better actors than the ones they hire to play.

This show Does not even remotely compare to some of the other fine shows based on true crime stories like: Dateline, 48 Hours and 20/20.

There is an almost invisible disclaimer claiming that it is "based on actual events". I Forced myself to watch it all the way through - what a waste of time. All paid actors as far as I can tell.

A few other shows that are worth watching, other than the three listed above (in my opinion) are:

Death Row Stories, FBI: Criminal Pursuit, Disappeared, Unusual Suspects.

Filling a time slot with Cry Wolfe doesn't justify its existence on ID.

What a shame.
