Wisdom of the Crowd TV Show Review
The concept is good, but the critics don’t seem too happy about the way the topic is handled, based on the pilot. Exploring technology and involving general crowd in crime investigation in the current scenario can turn out to be disastrous. However, the ethical dilemmas are not part of the narrative. Sharing photo of a suspect on a social platform is also not the best example of ‘wisdom of the crowd’ concept and unless the crime solving becomes a bit more complex, the tech crime drama is staring at danger of being a crime drama with a dash of technology.
