Cry Wolfe

When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep - not screaming, like the passengers in his car. This was me, screaming to the end of an episode of "Cry Wolfe" because I couldn't find fresh batteries for my remote so I could change the channel or better yet, turn it off. Sobriety has done me no favours. Watching Mr. Wolfe try to solve crimes is akin to watching a mentally handicapped person attempting to solve the "The Gaussian Integral" in mathematics. I think that the show has to be some type of hoax, with Mr. Wolfe perpetuating a grand and hilarious joke on the inebriated viewers who just don't have the gumption or manual dexterity to change channels. This joke will be revealed in the second season which ID has now picked up. So, stay tuned to more of Mr. Wolfe and his cringeworthy skills and expertise as a top rate communicator, a Private Dick, and more importantly, a general Dick.

This show is just yet another bad move from Discovery by putting it on ID instead of TLC,why? it's overly dramatic,focuses on "emotions and drama" while all being drenched in a sauce of "this is made by underpaid street actors we just found downtown".You know the deal,with the shaky cam and the close up on people's faces when certain things happen.Also i'm pretty sure this Brian Wolfe fellow isn't even a real person/relationship investigator,and if he is he is rudely invasive in people's lives .But it's not because it's all acted BS anyway. I have no idea what the production crew thought when they made this but it just feels silly and amateuristic attempts at making dramatic situations/exploiting a tough period in people's lives. I'm usually pretty neutral/liking of ID's programming(as someone who lives in the Netherlands we get programs later than in the US).But this one should have stayed in America if i'm honest,it just feels like a dumb waste of time.

Sorry ID but you struck out with this one. "Cry Wolfe", I am still crying because I watch an episode. ID you are better than this, take this garbage off and put it on A&E or TLC. Stick to the hard hitting documentaries that you present instead of this over dramatized piece of doo doo. I just stumbled on the show today and took me about 2 minutes with the mediocre acting to figure out it was all staged. I would not have a problem if the shows producer made a clear disclaimer right at the beginning that the following is a recreation but I do not recall seeing any disclaimer. It should be made very clear at the very beginning as not to mislead the viewer to think otherwise as some people are very gullible and believe everything they watch on TV. I like Investigative Discovery and I hope they are not now stooping to the reality garbage like some of the other networks have stooped to.

in 5 min u can tell all it's just a bad act horrible story.

if it was real events they would have blurred the faces, the actors reaction every time is the same and always looking good well dressed and full make up that's just a sad show.

he is following his targets with all the cameras crew but targets wont notice hmm..

every one seemed to appear in the right angles right lights and right time!

i dunno if they still run the show i just so it recently on ID crimes channel.. but the only crime i can see is they allow lousy series to go on air !

This show Does not even remotely compare to some of the other fine shows based on true crime stories like: Dateline, 48 Hours and 20/20.

There is an almost invisible disclaimer claiming that it is "based on actual events". I Forced myself to watch it all the way through - what a waste of time. All paid actors as far as I can tell.

A few other shows that are worth watching, other than the three listed above (in my opinion) are:

Death Row Stories, FBI: Criminal Pursuit, Disappeared, Unusual Suspects.

Filling a time slot with Cry Wolfe doesn't justify its existence on ID.

What a shame.
