Review of Cold Case

The cold cases described are often fairly interesting, although the plots are very formulaic, usually starting with the most obvious suspect, then proceeding down a line of other potential suspects until they find they real perp, who was a character you barely noticed at the beginning.

My real problem with the show is that it typically spends about one third of each episode on some personal challenge of a main cast member - love triangle, criminal charges against a detective, whatever - about characters that I have not really been persuaded to care about that much.
