    I watched the whole season on Netflix a few days ago. This is a very emotional and much needed show to place a spotlight on the fact that towns have no funding to have rape kits processed and in some of these cases the offender would have been caught if they had been tested and the offender wouldn't have been out to rape again. For the ppl who said show should be cancelled it's obvious you've never been sexually assaulted or know someone who has. They connect with these women and cry with them because they can feel their pain , that they have received no justice, that their attacker is unknown and out there somewhere. Constantly looking over your shoulder worried they will come back is a horrible way to live. THEY DESERVE JUSTICE!!! For the person who said "yes I am a women". Technically it should be I am a woman. Not women. You do not speak for most "women" in my opinion and I pray that you never have to experience what these women have had to endure. Personally I would like to see more of these shows and also I agree that they should address the rapes of men. As so few men come forward it may help more come forward to get the justice they deserve as well. There was no feminine diatribes that I saw. They just want justice for the victims. I find it insulting that if a woman says something derogatory about a possible suspect then its a feminine diatribe. As a man you have no idea what a total and complete violation mentally, physically, and emotionally it is to be raped. It is almost soul crushing to have your right to your own body taken away. The helplessness and terror is frankly devastating. If you don't like the show don't watch. It is that simple.

    Sad to think of how many rapes go unsolved. And it takes a TV show and network to take on police work to test rape kits. Such is the status of justice for women in the world.I'm glad the show exposes the everyday face of the rapist. Yes, rapists are your friendly next door neighbor.I don't understand anyone who would call this show a tearjerker. Personally I think that person needs some help. Why not just turn the show off if you don't like it?I also don't understand critiques of feminist diatribes. Rape is not about a feminist agenda or any agenda. It's about straight up human decency. If you're a Christian like I am, exposing and setting right of injustices is a God filled act.A simple question: why is there a statute of limitations on rape at all? The fact that there are points to the fact of how much people think rape is minor in some way.I would have liked the show to deal with male rapes, which some studies suggest occur as commonly as female rapes.

    This is one of the WORST crime reality shows I have ever wasted my time on! Spoiler alert: They are NOT professionals at all! They can't even listen to a recording of 911 calls from the victims without not being able to talk until they walk out of the room to cry! Are you kidding me?! Advice: hire MEN who can control their emotions!! You are NOT connected to these victims this is NOT your story you are there to do a job! Spoiler alert: these women who are suppose to be professionals break down in front of the actual victims even when the victims themselves aren't crying! You don't think they haven't shedded their own real tears?!? Possibly for years?! And then I feel connected to this victim because I have a son too or we have the same job or maybe you're connected to the victim because you once drove down the same road! Please if this show hasn't been canceled already do so now! Maybe even take the extra step and burn all copies. Btw I'm a women.

    While Robert W. Anderson's review contains some good points, it is far too harsh.I've watched every episode of "Cold Justice: Sex Crimes" (they are available on YouTube), and quite frankly, I'd like to see more.Good Points1. The show never slips into a feminist diatribe against men. It could to gain a wider audience. Instead, every case is handled professionally.2. The hosts are fine. Yes, they are both former prosecutors. So what? Nothing about the hosts grates on me. Again, they are very professional. (Robert W. Anderson's review prefers the series "Cold Justice". Please tell us, Robert, what is so good about retired detective Johnny Bonds? His interrogation skills are abusive and usually lead nowhere.)3. Each case is unique. Yes, they are all rape cases. However, the victims are different, the cities are different, the settings of the rapes are different. What else would you like to see, Robert? Unsolved child abuse cases? Unsolved teacher boinks student cases? Unsolved man raped by woman cases?The Fundamental Problems1. Every case in "Cold Justice: Sex Crimes" ultimately comes down to "Is there DNA evidence?" In the ten episodes, not one case was solved without DNA.2. It's a sad comment on American society that "Cold Justice: Sex Crimes" actually exists simply because cities cannot afford to send Sexual Assault Evidence (SAE) kits to a forensics lab for processing. Some cities have a 15-year backlog of untested SAE kits. TNT network steps in, pays for a few kits to be processed at the private Sorenson Forensics lab, and cases immediately get solved.
