Cold Case is an American Crime Show that has aired on Sky One in the UK.

It follows Detective Rush and her team as they investigate Old Unsolved murders (or Cold Cases) after new evidence is brought to light.

Cold Case is a True Crime Show, it follows the same path religiously every episode, Two of the detectives go to see the first witness/suspect, ask them a few questions, blame them angrily for the murder with little or no evidence and then at the end f the conversation the witness/suspect gives information incriminating another person. and then the whole thing starts again with the next suspect. Jerry Bruckheimer shows seem incredibly inept at doing scenes with any feeling or personality in them as the characters often come across very one dimensional, this also becomes a big problem when the show tries to bring the detectives personal lives into focus as it never seems to work, CSI had the same problem, as soon as the characters personal lives were shown the show just became even more strained.
One of the things i think comes with any good drama is a bit of comedy (Heroes has Hiro, Prison Break has T-Bag and LOST has Numerous) but Cold Case always fails to supply any comedy, and it just makes the show drag on even longer.
The Characters of the show are hard to like and it is a struggle to empathize with them at all at any point in the shows run, they are normally either blaming someone completely innocent for no good cause or saying something ridiculous, all of this though is down to poor writing and thats something that is instantly recognizable when you watch the show.
I Struggle to think of any reason someone would want to watch this show on a regularly basis but if you are a fan of Non Serialized crime shows like CSI, Without a Trace etc then you may like it as you know exactly what you are getting at the beginning f every show.

Summary: Not a Programme i would recommend.
