SmallTownSim Review of Wisdom of the Crowd

Wisdom of the Crowd (2017–2018)

Nothing like Persons of Interest -- WOTC judged on its own merits

[4 October 2017]

This review 'may' contain spoilers but I will try to avoid that. I just finished watching the pilot episode and I have to say that I liked it. Firstly, Wisdom is NOTHING like the series of Persons of Interest. That was created and followed on a different premise entirely. This show (thus far) is about a case that is already underway but unsolved and uses a social media app created to allow for on-going tips, info, comments and input from anyone who is using the app and is then compiled and sorted using technology, etc and followed up with police detective. I have always enjoyed a good crime solving 'mystery' and that is delivered with Wisdom. Its not perfect- a show usually has to iron out its bumps along the way and discover what works, what doesn't and what the viewers respond to. That said, I will continue watching and giving it a good chance to impress me along the way. Other than that, my advise is to give it a shot and judge it on its own merits and not compare it to other shows.
