TV show description:
A high-tech crime drama, the Wisdom of the Crowd TV show centers on Silicon Valley entrepreneur Jeffrey Tanner (Piven). After his daughter Mia (Cowen) is killed, Tanner sets out to design an online platform for real-time, crowdsourced crime solving.
In his obsession to find his child’s killer, Tanner is motivated by the idea that a million minds are better than one. He pins all his hopes on harnessing the “wisdom of the crowd,” in order to solve this crime and as many others as possible.
Taking inspiration from Sophia, the personification of Wisdom, Tanner names the platform Sophe and drafts Detective Tommy Cavanaugh (Jones) for his team. Cavanaugh was the first police officer to investigate Mia’s murder and worked it until he was abruptly removed from the case.
Tanner and Cavanaugh work with Sara Morton (Tena) an ingenious engineer, whose relationship with Tanner is not strictly professional. Rounding out the team is their nerdy lead programmer, Josh Novak (Lee), a skilled, capable worker, and Tariq Bakari (Matthews), a tech savant and ace hacker who may have some authority issues.
Meanwhile, Tanner’s ex-wife, Congresswoman Alex Hale (Potter), worries about his obsession. Despite their divorce, she cares for him. Although he was not a good husband, Alex appreciates that Tanner was a good father. Their profound grief has forged in them an unbreakable bond.
Series Finale:
Episode #13 — The Tipping Point
Cavanaugh investigates the murder of a top Sophe user who filled his basement with conspiracy theory evidence. Also, Alex attends the release hearing for Carlos Ochoa (Ramses Jimenez), the man convicted of killing Mia.
First aired: January 14, 2018.
What do you think? Do you like the Wisdom of the Crowd TV series? Should this TV show have been cancelled or renewed for a second season on CBS?
This was one of my favorite shows. Very disappointed that it is cancelled. I feel that we, the audience, is being punished for something J. Piven did or did not do. Replace him, not the show.
The best new show on tv. Do not cancel it because it’s intelligent and very entertaining.
Should not have cancelled the show. I would not have had a problem if Piven was replaced, as I felt he was expendable as an actor. The character, however, must live on. Replace him like soap operas do by keeping the character. Also, the creator of this show, Ted Humphrey, is a genius. His other credits include writing and executive producing the Good Wife and The Unit.
I really liked watching this show. If it is canceled, they should at least have a finale letting us know who really killed Mia.
Another good show cancelled before it had a fighting chance. Good premise, good cast.
I really enjoyed this show – it is too bad it was cancelled…..
I love this show , i hope its not cancelled it had everything Anne
I loved this show and would hate to see it get cancelled. It was well acted and the story line was great – would love to see more of this.
I LIKE THE SHOW PLEASE KEEP IT ON
Don’t cancel until Piven has had his day in court. If he is found guilty then find a replacement for his part. Wisdom of the Crowd is a great show and really keeps you interested and wanting more shows to come.
I’m sick and tired of shows that have any intellectual value at all get cancelled, often mid-season, while useless redos an do-overs stay on air forever. Reason why I’m largely relying on Netflix/Hulu these days to provide me with on demand entertainment. This show is/was good and has/had numerous opportunities to expand creatively as time goes on. We’ll see.
I rarely comment or rate tv shows but I think that The Wisdom Of the Crowd is a creative show with a unique premise. It is intelligent unlike reality shows and I hope it will continue. Thank you.
Renew this awesome show! Itz wonderful & has so many possible directions & an abundance of possible story lines!! Plz keep this show on the air. Thx!
It’s a very good show and regardless of the allegations to Piven couldn’t they just rewrite a different main character? I’m thinking that actor that starred in “Person of Interest” which was another very good show that hit the chopping block due to low numbers during football season. Every time I find a show that I enjoy watching the Networks seem to cancel it!!??
Love it. Too bad it’s not real
