About
If you like heartfelt, music-filled crime mysteries with unsolved cases revisited in the present, Cold Case can be a rewarding watch, but Not for you if you want nonstop action or strictly realistic police procedure like CSI: Crime Scene Investigation or Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.
Pros: fresh cold-case focus; great era music; strong storytelling | Cons: slow pace; flashback distractions; uneven writing
