+ Kelly Siegler & Yolanda McClary are exemplary women without any pretentious over dramatization as they take on their roles as hosts and investigators. They work well as hosts compared to many other crime programs. The fact that they are not always able to catch the perpetrator and being honest about it, plus showing the impact on the families, is a refreshingly real take on American crime shows. The systematic take on how evidence is gathered and reviewed, interviews are taken and suspects eliminated is very interesting for anyone that loves these types of crime series. Everything is very methodical and clearly put into view. - When handling real cases, showing real victims and suspects we as an audience will never know what is steered by editing and if that is morally acceptable to put on as a show which is in itself firstly for entertainment value.

I enjoy this show best of all the many crime shows I watch. It's difficult to understand why they have had a couple of very poor reviews, but as I read those reviews I can see that the reviewers seemed upset by the strength and confidence of our female investigators. Maybe they have some problems with strong women - who knows? I know that I watch each show from start to finish with interest and enjoyment. It's great to see that not only the lady investigators but the local police and DA's who are so interested in pursuing justice for the victims and family members. I'm glad they don't drag us through every detail of their investigations but go over the highlights in a rational and illuminating manner.

Give me a car chase! Guns! Fast pace pursuits through dark woods! and most importantly.. BLOOD! O_OWhat is really important, that the show isn't fast pace/doesn't get your blood pumping/not enough drama, or the fact that these guys are giving an effort to catch killers that are currently running free?Seriously though, even if they spend an entire season to catch JUST ONE murderer that is running free, isn't that worth it?! Also, not to mention the emotional comfort that a, "hey, your loved ones hasn't been forgotten," gives to families affected by these horrible crimes.True, not all of the cases are open-shut.. BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN COLD FOR YEARS! This is all currently happening! in real time! There is no "2 Years Later" transition effect! What this show does is put that spotlight right back where it should be.I seriously doubt any of the people sitting behind a computer criticizing these efforts can say,"I put a killer behind bars, and finally brought a long awaited resolution to a family that had lost hope." Maybe some could say,"I saved a dog from eating chocolate!" or "I stopped a baby from swallowing a lego piece once!" Which, cool, really, both scenarios would have me totally pumped. I personally saved my turtle when I was 7.. he had climbed out of his tank and taken refuge under our mini fridge! Lost for DAYS.. He was so dehydrated an malnourished when I found him.. :( but I never gave up looking for him! :D Still though.. not as cool as catching someone that brutally murders people.. :/I really hope this show gets the recognition it deserves.. some people should really reevaluate what they value as "good TV".

The CSI person is an excellent idea, but a prosecutor - without a defense perspective - well - something kind of stinks. Talk about being lopsided - I can see where this show could easily spiral into nothing more than a weekly witch-hunt. I may be wrong, but I have a problem with a prosecutor who has a perfect conviction record. That - in itself - should raise some viewer questions at least. Now I do have my doubts, but at the same time, I may change my spots...it usually does. I may be completely wrong and this show may turn out to be a real keeper. Both characters seem to be intelligent, interesting and competent. I do like the pace of the show. The tempo is typical of any reality-TV, which is fine. There is one thing that really will turn me off though. Will this show result in a weekly conviction? I will walk away. Come on, there are plenty of innocent people in prison who were victims of perfect prosecutor records. I am skeptical of the existence of ghosts and perfect records.
