10 New Shows That Already Deserve To Get Cancelled
3. Wisdom Of The Crowd
The geniuses behind Wisdom of the Crowd have made a few crucial mistakes in the creation of this show, and put together they will probably be enough to guarantee its downfall.
First of all, they made the shocking miscalculation in regards to Jeremy Piven's likeability factor. He's more suited to play a smarmy supporting character that everyone really just wants to punch in the face, not the protagonist who you're supposed to, you know, root for. No audience member in the history of film or television has ever truly rooted for one of Jeremy Piven's characters.
In addition, they are vastly overestimating how long the novelty of the show's central conceit (essentially crowd-sourced crime-fighting) will last. For most viewers, that probably wore off about halfway through the trailer.
Jeremy Piven is a dad/eccentric tech mogul who has decided to use the collective power of the people to track down his daughter's murderer. Mildly interesting, right? Well, maybe for the first five minutes. Then the Piven-ness becomes too much to take.
