Good show but....
They kept talking about a blue Ford Pinto but then showed an AMC Pacer! Not even close.
Other than that, decent true crime show but it does tend to drag a little bit. No big deal. Worth a watch if you're into this kind of show.

Must see!
One of the best shows I have ever seen on tv! Its absolutely gripping. Sucks u in from the beginning and you just can't stop watching! I cant wait for more episodes! Bravo!
Good revamp
A good revamp of the original series of should I say a good continuation of a great original series. Some may say it's not a patch on the original or that it's too long but it captures the anguish of the victims family, it captures the tense situations and you can almost feel the the pain the family is going through. In my humble opinion each case is handled sensitively and informatively and Danny Glover makes a brilliant addition as a narrator. On a side note I liked the blurred effect of the re-enactments. Great watch and highlights the importance of never giving up on cases that have gone cold.
Amazing discriptions of cold cases
I love true crime because of the mystery of it all. I'm not morbid but curious of how cruel human beings can be. This series is a keeper Netflix and prime
The respect that tragedy deserves
One of the few truly respectful pieces of true crime media. There are countless movies, TV shows, and podcasts that give undeserved focus to the murderer. Oftentimes to the point of exploitation of the victims' pain.
But Cold Case Files treats the tragedy as what it is, a tragedy. Enough time is spent on each victim's background so that you are forced to feel at least a SHRED of the hurt that the victims' loved ones felt.
That is not to say that Cold Case Files does not have dramatizations, because it does. It is an entertaining show, albeit quite slow and predictable given how nearly every case is solved by DNA. Still, the show's attention to detail and thoroughness is enough to hook me. Honestly I "watch" most of it as a podcast, and it does quite well in that function.
