To Wisdom’s credit--so far anyway--this doesn’t look like the typical gruesome network cop drama arrayed with female victims and their predatory killers (even though there are two such victims in the pilot). It does look like a good idea in search of genuine high-tech bona fides.
Piven and Jones are wasted in formulaic predictability. By the end of the first episode, you’ll realize that the show will focus on a crime of the week, essentially doing a bargain basement take on “Person of Interest.”

There were a lot of bad reviews for this show and I don't get why. It was exciting and totally in the realm of possibility considering how everything is social media and app based these days. More so than just a crime drama I think it also explore human nature in how our lives and our phones are practically one in the same.
I found the show exciting and I can see how it can keep getting better. Oh yeah, Natalia Tena from Game of Thrones and Harry Potter is in it so that's a plus.
Some of the professional reviewers seem all mad because of how the app destroys our privacy our right to be innocent. Hello?! With social media and run amok media hasn't that already happened. Art is imitating life. It might piss you off but don't blame the show for showing the truth.

SEASON 1
A thoroughly ridiculous tech-tinged procedural. ... Nothing that happens in the pilot seems legal, ethical or logical. [29 Sep, 2017, p.55]
Despite the ridiculous premise, the hollow performances, the shallow sketches that substitute for characters, and the incredibly thoughtless approach to the emotional lives of those characters, there are still moments when you might actually want to see what happens next. At times, it’s because an actor crackles with energy, and at others, it’s because it just doesn’t seem possible that things could get even dumber.
A watered-down “Person of Interest” crossed with Fox’s failed “APB,” this time-waster stars Jeremy Piven as a Silicon Valley mogul touched by tragedy when his daughter is murdered, leading him to quit his company and create a crowd-sourced, crime-solving app. ... And to think CBS’s Sunday night was once home to a prestige drama like “The Good Wife” and now it’s a parking spot for this disappointment.
From pacing to plotting to smirky hipster pseudowisdom ("Privacy? We gave that up a long time ago so we could watch cat videos on our cellphone"). Wisdom of the Crowd is a stylistic clone of Person of Interest and Bull. In terms of IQ points, it's the lowest yet.
There is an attempt here to tap into what makes shows like Scorpion and Person of Interest lack, but neither the acting nor the writing delivers the minor narrative pleasures that those series serves up intermittently. Instead, Wisdom of the Crowd acts as an egregious, even embarrassing gesture toward understanding the age of social media, a husk of modern tropes made with minimal passion and even less care.
Really enjoyed the first episode. I think it has a lot to offer and cant wait to see where the season goes. Really love Natalia Tena and Richard T. Jones.

I finally had to call it a day on this show. The left driven agenda is just getting to much. Hearing James Damores email at google being described as assine showing the writers biase has seen me pull the plug. The writers are pushing their left wing agenda as if it's given facts. No balance just PC clap trap. Gooodbye

SEASON 1
This show is bad. Undeniably bad. Characters are shallow. Writing is cheesy. Technology in the show makes bloop bloop noises like stupid 1980's special effects. Very clear and suffocating liberal biased agenda. Noticeable forced diversification of cast members to avoid appearing racist against any possible minority group. Nice perfect 50/50 split of male and female cast members to not appear sexist. All women are portrayed as powerful, resourceful and intellectual. The Young Turks would love it. It feels like they built their political agenda, created a politically correct cast, and then just kinda slipped the plot and writing in where to could fit them around the first two. It fails as a drama, but to be fair, I'd give it a 6/10 as a comedy.

SEASON 1
Wisdom had potential. It wasn't as kitchy as APB, which was lots of funs, but the storylines were solid UNTIL THE INJECTED LEFT-WING POLITICS. WONT WATCH IT ANYMORE. In one episode the writers subtly equated a white supremacist with all conservatives. There were so many liberal soap-box, virtue-signaling monologue that I had to stop watching because I felt I was betraying true Americans. HOLLYWOOD JUST DOESN'T GET IT.
