Cry Wolfe

Sorry ID but you struck out with this one. "Cry Wolfe", I am still crying because I watch an episode. ID you are better than this, take this garbage off and put it on A&E or TLC. Stick to the hard hitting documentaries that you present instead of this over dramatized piece of doo doo. I just stumbled on the show today and took me about 2 minutes with the mediocre acting to figure out it was all staged. I would not have a problem if the shows producer made a clear disclaimer right at the beginning that the following is a recreation but I do not recall seeing any disclaimer. It should be made very clear at the very beginning as not to mislead the viewer to think otherwise as some people are very gullible and believe everything they watch on TV. I like Investigative Discovery and I hope they are not now stooping to the reality garbage like some of the other networks have stooped to.

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 is just yet another bad move from Discovery by putting it on ID instead of TLC,why? it's overly dramatic,focuses on "emotions and drama" while all being drenched in a sauce of "this is made by underpaid street actors we just found downtown".You know the deal,with the shaky cam and the close up on people's faces when certain things happen.Also i'm pretty sure this Brian Wolfe fellow isn't even a real person/relationship investigator,and if he is he is rudely invasive in people's lives .But it's not because it's all acted BS anyway. I have no idea what the production crew thought when they made this but it just feels silly and amateuristic attempts at making dramatic situations/exploiting a tough period in people's lives. I'm usually pretty neutral/liking of ID's programming(as someone who lives in the Netherlands we get programs later than in the US).But this one should have stayed in America if i'm honest,it just feels like a dumb waste of time.

They need to just call it a reenactment because it is worse than "Cheaters" and all those fake "reality" towing shows. If the totally outrageous scenarios aren't enough to call BS then the acting will. An example of outrageous scenario- Girl gets roofied and raped prior night and has a private investigator show up because she is being extorted for 5K or the offender will post a video of said victim. No Police due to privacy, but a reality TV show and a P.I is A OKAY! so rather than going the extortion route and find the offender that way, they set up an elaborate sting at the bar... The real shocker comes when its a woman waitress who roofied the water and supposedly gets victims for some guy with a white van who shows up on cue mic'ed and ready for TV, rental van made up as lions den for victim.

Why can't anyone provide a non scripted, no actors fake, fake, fake type of reality show? You can tell in the first 30 seconds they are actors playing roles and everything is not as it is being sold. Ratings seem to mirror my opinion, so who cares it will be gone tomorrow.

When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep - not screaming, like the passengers in his car. This was me, screaming to the end of an episode of "Cry Wolfe" because I couldn't find fresh batteries for my remote so I could change the channel or better yet, turn it off. Sobriety has done me no favours. Watching Mr. Wolfe try to solve crimes is akin to watching a mentally handicapped person attempting to solve the "The Gaussian Integral" in mathematics. I think that the show has to be some type of hoax, with Mr. Wolfe perpetuating a grand and hilarious joke on the inebriated viewers who just don't have the gumption or manual dexterity to change channels. This joke will be revealed in the second season which ID has now picked up. So, stay tuned to more of Mr. Wolfe and his cringeworthy skills and expertise as a top rate communicator, a Private Dick, and more importantly, a general Dick.
