Cry Wolfe

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.

I have no idea how this show got picked up for a second season. Since the story lines are not the usual for ID (meaning they are very Jerry Springer), I would expect at least some interviews with the real human beings involved. At least this would offset the total obvious illegitimacy of the show. You don't see Kenda trying to act in his show, not too mention the story lines of Kenda are far more interesting than Wolfe. I am a chronic ID watcher, and immediately turn the channel when its on. I might watch forensic files if they didn't repeat the same shows constantly. The poster who compared it to cheaters was spot on. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!!!

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 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.

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.
