Wisdom of the Crowd is a gripping drama-thriller series from CBS that revolves around a software developer named Jeffrey Tanner (Jeremy Piven) who is on a mission to bring his daughter's killer to justice. Despite thorough investigations by law enforcement agencies, the case remains unsolved, causing a great deal of grief and frustration to Tanner.

Desperate to find answers, Tanner comes up with an innovative idea to harness the power of technology and social media to solve crimes with a Crowd-Sourced platform called Sophe. Sophe is a cutting edge, real-time crime-solving platform that uses user data to solve crime. By encouraging people who have information, Sophe can collect and analyze data from a wide range of sources.

With the help of Detective Tommy Cavanaugh (Richard T. Jones) and the brilliant tech whiz Sara Morton (Natalia Tena), Tanner sets out to build and grow Sophe into a community-driven database that will enable people to share information on criminal activities and help solve crimes that have been long-forgotten or that seem to have no clues.

One of the main challenges faced by Sophe is its credibility. There are concerns over the validity and reliability of Sophe's data, which has not been vetted by traditional law enforcement agencies. However, Tanner and his team of experts are determined to prove that Sophe is trustworthy by delivering accurate predictions and insights that help law enforcement solve crimes.

Tanner is a complex and ambitious character who is driven by a sense of justice and a desire to make the world a safer place. He uses his considerable resources and expertise to launch Sophe, and his intense passion for this project is palpable.

Detective Tommy Cavanaugh is an experienced and astute investigator who works with Tanner to vet the information gathered by Sophe's community of users. He is skeptical of Sophe's ability to deliver reliable information due to its lack of traditional verification processes. However, as he starts to see the results of Sophe's work, his skepticism begins to fade.

Sara Morton is a computer genius who is responsible for the technical development of Sophe. She is a former hacker and has a sharp mind when it comes to technology. She also develops a close relationship with Tanner, and the two share a deep bond over their mutual interest in solving crimes.

The show's storyline follows Tanner and his team as they are put to the test with increasingly complex cases. They tackle issues such as police corruption, online privacy, cyberbullying, and criminal profiling. The characters are faced with ethical questions as they expand Sophe's capabilities and push the boundaries of what is possible.

Throughout the series, the show tackles contemporary societal problems and issues that have become more prevalent with the rise of social media and technology. The use of technology to solve crimes is not a new concept, but the show's approach sets itself apart from the typical police procedural dramas.

The show's production values are of a high quality, with well-crafted sets and well-choreographed camera work. It is also notable for its strong performances from the cast, including Piven, Jones, and Tena, who deliver compelling and nuanced performances that bring their characters to life.

In conclusion, Wisdom of the Crowd is an exciting and thought-provoking television series that brings a fresh approach to the crime-solving drama genre. It raises pertinent questions about the role of technology, privacy, and justice in contemporary society. The show effectively integrates current issues and technology into its storyline, making it a compelling watch for viewers interested in analytics, law enforcement, and the ethics of online communities.

Wisdom of the Crowd is a series that is currently running and has 1 seasons (13 episodes). The series first aired on October 1, 2017.
