Cold Case owns a style
Category: Reviews, Watch Episodes, Watch online, Posted on August 28th, 2008 by adminThe day when Cold case was announced to launch and I saw it’s promos, it seemed like the storyline will be close to many similar kind of TV shows already running on silver screen, and it proved to be right to some extent. But I must say that despite a common storyline Cold Case has a distinct style of its own. Every episode begins with a flash back of the crime case depicting about how it happened. The time, date and year of crime is displayed and then the show switches on to the present year and day where the squad is busy in reinvestigation of the unsolved mystery.
The other icon of the show is that at the end of every episode a melodious song is played. To hear that especially I wait for the end of episodes. In the very first episode they played the song “Have you ever seen the rain” by Creedence. In the second episode they used Brian Adams’ popular number “Straight from the heart”. At the end of every episode they mark the case as solved and the song comes like celebration of achievement. Have you found the same style in any other crime drama? I don’t remember any such.
The other thing I like about the show is it hardly concentrates much upon the personal lives of the detectives of squad. Whatever was used was just introductory. This show has the complete focus upon the crime cases and characters are shown discussing every little clue of the case and thus the viewer gets involved in the episode and this prompts one to watch each and every bit of the episode. This is the credibility of a show which makes it to remain on screen for long.
I think here is no need to profess about the show anymore as the show is obviously doing well if it has seen five seasons and is ready to launch the sixth season.
