I've lived in Rittenhouse Square, West Philly, Fishtown, Society Hill -- and this shows portrayal of residents education and emotional IQ is pathetic. The most recent show about a mother who lost most of her children (she is black, but that doesn't matter to this post's concern) and some Chicanos was terrible -- the bizarre characters don't resemble anyone I've met, and I've been in the poorest black/chicano neighborhoods. Aside from the show being overly-dramatic and poorly written, the portrayal of Philly is simplistic and plain silly. Don't waste your time.

This is a great show for adults that like crime shows. I make sure to pause the DVR whenever my seven year old is in the room because way too much about this show is adult in nature.

COLD CASE is an engaging crime show, but NO KIDS! This show is for mature teens and adults only. There is some violence in each episode (since each episode revolves around a crime, usually a murder). It isn't gory, but it can get intense. There is some sex and moderate innuendos and references. There aren't any "F" words as far as I can remember (I haven't seen every episode), but there is some language as well.

This show can be a little slow. But, it is really good though. If you like crime shows,then you should see this show!!
