About this show

Wisdom of the Crowd is a drama about a visionary tech innovator who creates a cutting-edge crowdsourcing app to solve his daughter's murder, and revolutionize crime-solving in the process. Inspired by the notion that a million minds are better than one, Silicon Valley entrepreneur Jeffrey Tanner develops "Sophe," an online platform for publicly shared information he's certain will find his daughter's killer. To assist him, Tanner recruits Det. Tommy Cavanaugh, the original cop who investigated the murder but was unceremoniously forced off the case. Working with them is Sara Morton, a brilliant engineer whose relationship with Tanner goes beyond the professional; Josh Novak, a talented, nerdy-cool head programmer; and Tariq Bakari, a tech genius and expert hacker with issues adhering to the rules. Concerned with Tanner's obsession is his successful ex-wife, Congresswoman Alex Hale, with whom he shares an unbreakable bond over their shared grief. As Tanner taps into the "wisdom of the crowd," his unexpected success fuels his determination to solve even more cases than just the one that's personal to him.

Wow, this show has been extensively advertised by CBS! With Jeremy Piven and Richard T. Jones, you would think it would be a hit. This is the type of show that seemingly has everything going for it, but nevertheless is not going to make it. It is just too gimmicky, and I hate the unrealistic technological terms they use which sound great, but are gibberish. It's getting close to "Scorpion" level of stupidity. The first show got high ratings, but that is because of the high level of publicity. If the writing and realism does not improve, look for this to be a short lived series.

The guy that killed his daughter is that white tech dude. I think his name is Josh.. They made it to easy to spot. Other than that this show could be good. But right now its just ok.

Great show but why is Goofle listing it as by NBC when it is by CBS?? Sadly it's no longer aired where I live but I'd rather buy DVDs than pay to watch it here.
