jwworthy Most crime shows give their undivided attention to the culprits, leaving the victims as nameless, faceless plot devices. Cold Case takes a different route, giving life to these victims, treating them humanely and respectfully and putting them at its heart. And through the eyes of the victims, the show subtly addresses many past (and present) social issues, telling the harrowing stories of millions of people subject to systemic oppression and cultural degradation as defining hindrances throughout their lives. Cold Case isn't afraid to shed light on stories which are largely swept under the rug out of guilt, fear and ignorance. Though the show takes advantage of its platform, Cold Case never pontificates but rather gives viewers a window into the lives of disadvantaged people as they simply try to navigate around the many obstacles in their paths. It sets aside the typical rich white male hero archetype to give the vulnerable - the impoverished, women, people of color, LGBT people, etc. - their chance to have their stories told. In turn, people whom society regularly spits on are given representation in its purest form. And with stirring music, powerful writing and compassionate characters, Cold Case injects human emotion and heart into every frame, poignantly illuminating the tragedies of these disenfranchised people in hopes of spreading empathy in a largely merciless society. The show will often leave you moved, inspired and teary-eyed, profoundly resonating with you unlike anything you've ever seen.
kenhe So now the old slanders are dragged out, Viet Nam veterans as rapists, baby killers, and the murderers of mothers, grandmothers, and little girls. And of course, when a Viet vet fails to show enough patriotism, well another Viet vet murders him! Well folks, I am a Viet Nam War veteran and I never saw American soldiers commit a single atrocity, but I have seen the innumerable atrocities and war crimes committed by North Vietnamese soldiers and Viet Cong. And on this ridiculous show, Cold Case, I have seen political atrocities carried out on American TV against brave and heroic Viet Nam War veterans like myself and my fellow vets for no other reason than to pump a TV show and perpetuate the vicious libels and slanders that have plagued American Viet Nam War veterans by empty headed liberals who happen to have a public TV platform. This episode about the Viet Nam veterans sickened me, and should disgust any decent and moral American citizen.
Lev TV Never again had I seen a show like that when I started watching this a long time ago.A beautiful cast,a perfect combo of crime solving mysteries (crimes that occurred in the past and were left unsolved) with drama , over the top soundtracks and the "ghosts" of the dead appearing to produce heart breaking feelings ! If compared with anything of its genre it will get the number 1 prize for me.Absolutely amazing!I really wish they team up once more to create a movie,would gladly pay to watch it.
NMLeopold 'Cold Case' is indeed in itself a very cold case. It has not produced any remotely exciting episodes since the first season. More often than not the obvious killer is the killer. Every episode basically has the same tiresome plot: A person is killed. The detectives interview a person that leads them to another person, whom leads them to another person, and so on and so forth. Eventually, the detectives have gone through everyone the victim has ever known, and now they discover that one or more is lying. So they question the supposed the liar, who in turn puts the blame on someone else, and so on and so forth. In the end the killer is caught, and the same tiresome montage is played, with switching back and forth between the present and the past, the victim waves goodbye to someone, and this of course is all in slow-motion. And of course accompanied by an acoustic indie song.
