Wisdom of the Crowd

WISDOM OF THE CROWD Video - WISDOM OF THE CROWD - First Look

As long as we've given up our privacy "so we could watch cat videos on our phones," can millions of internet-connected eyes be harnessed to solve crimes?

A five-minute sneak peek.
(CBS, Sunday, Oct. 1)

This is a title I cannot tolerate. "The Wisdom of the Crowd" ...... indeed. One of my pet peeves is a call in show where everybody pools their ignorance of a topic.... So I hate the title. But the show itself with everyone helping out, that is something that could work. I even believe the premise that if people are given something that they are able to do to help, that most everyone will do what they can. ---- Like the human chain which saved a family in Florida.

The opener was better than I expected.
It acknowledged that statistically 90 percent of social media contributions to an issue will be junk. Does the possibility that the remaining 10 percent might solve crimes justify networking every police scanner junky in society?
I put the series on my recording schedule for Sunday, which is already packed to the point where I might run out of receivers. Do networks realize that a week offers 6 other days?

Agreed the title is terrible, but the plot reminds me of Person of Interest. I did not watch based on the name of the show. Another show I tried last year called Pure Genius also had a horrible title, which got canceled. I expect the same downfall for this one.
