Cold Justice

It's precisely the lack of traditional stage-managed drama that makes early episodes of the show so fascinating.

Cold Justice is about simple people in forgotten places, a far cry from the rich New York socialites and corporate villains of an entertainment like "Law & Order." Yet with real pain comes the promise of real closure.

While some of those made-for-TV encounters feel a little stilted, they do tend to pull you along, wanting to see how the drama plays out.

Cold Justice picks up considerably in its second episode and seems as if it might be a worthy addition to the genre.

There isn’t a lot of drama.
