As a fan of virtually any law show, and still feeling the loss of that beloved network that now shows nothing but awful reality tv shows - I have to say that Crime 360 really rubs me the wrong way. If you have a decent story, it has to be recreated in an early 90s VRML looking overview, and some of the cheesiest computer graphics I've ever seen. It was a great concept, but the two don't meld well - and the cheese factor just makes the whole thing fall apart.
Crime 360 made my DVR, and was removed within 3 episodes. Try again.

Personally, I like the show. One thing about it is that,In the real world cases doesn't always get solved. Example on 48hours, cases sometime continue on for months, on Crime 360 they solve the case in a nic' of time. Preferably, I enjoy 48hours much better. Just seems more true to life.
However I like the ol'school investigations, excluding all the computer scans and so forth.

i totally agree with you.
crime 360 is way to slow and it seems like they are more interested in playing with technology, rather then solving the case.
the detectives act as if they are given a script before the camera starts rolling then playing by ear and acting natural like the detectives on the first 48.
i really dont think that crime 360 will ever be as good as the first 48.

I think the concept of this show is great and I enjoy it. My problem with it is everything seems rehearsed and the detectives are trying to act instead of being natural like on the first 48.
They need to relax and act natural not like actors which clearly they are not.

My review of Crime 360....
I have one major critique about this show.
Crime 360 is obviously a copy of the successful show, First 48. That's fine I guess, but shows a lack of creativity, whatever that's worth in your opinion. Personally, I believe if a show is a copy of another show, it "better be better".
There are certain elements in "C360" that differentiate the two shows.
The most glaring problem, is the use of computer graphics (CGI).
I do not see how this "adds" story content ....or adds to a greater understanding of the evolving story line. The CGI only shows the obviousness of what was just stated in the dialog.. When a detective says,
"..the victim was shot from behind, into his chest area"
......how is it necessary (or worthwhile) to show a graphic of a slow-motion bullet heading toward a wire-frame body, and following the bullet into the chest from the rear?? It's obvious, boring, and makes me wonder why every third description by a Homicide or Forensics Investigator needs a graphic to back-up their prior statement. Is this show catering to idiots? It kind of insults my intelligence.
Ah, but without the CGI, C360 would be too close of a copy to F48.....It's C360's escape clause. Which leads me to another reason the graphics derail the show.....they take away from the grim reality of a real documentary about murder investigation. Graphics take away the "edge".
The "edge" I'm speaking of, is the goal of every non-hosted documentary that attempts to pull the viewer off their couch, and "into" the story, into the scene, and becomes a "you-are-there" moment. Breaking away from the "edge" to a graphic...positively kills that moment.

I love this show and hardly think it is a joke! The show does move slower but I am learning more about how an investigation is conducted and all the moving parts. One case per hour is cool with me.. I hope this show will be around for a long time!!! They can only get better.

it's a good show just too slow in my opinion. i like the fast pace to first 48. this show just digs deeper than they have to, half the time their case could have been solved within a day but they love playing with the damn computers.

I like this show. I think that it has a lot going for it. It's very interesting. I am biased though because I am related by marriage to one people on the show.

I think this series is truly ground breaking.
The level of detail is really exceptional, and the access is unprecedented.
The shows I have seen so far go way beyond anything I have ever seen on TV, as far as covering a real investigation. The detectives, their supervising officers and the uniformed police open themselves up, and it is really exciting to be a part of the hunt.
I'll take a smart new reality show over a scripted re-run anyday!!!
Keep them coming A&E...more 360 please....

It is outrageous that A&E cancelled 24, swat, city confidential and Dallas for the likes of these new shows! This crime 360 sucks and is one of the worst A&E ever put on.
