Lack of good storyline.

Good start, but then it gets ruined

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Most of the episodes are okay, but the two-part stories tend to really bog down. They could have easily covered the details in a single episode, and I found myself losing interest in the tedium.

For years I've watched episodes of "The FBI Files" and still catch some reruns from time to time on digital TV. And it was such a real series that had footage and actual recounted act outs of real life crimes that occurred. You name it from well known murders like serial killings, bank robberies, kidnapping and abduction cases, and cases that involved murder sprees and organized crimes with the mafia. The series was so informative and entertaining and most of the cases closed out with justice as many of the cases featured were solved or ended with justice and criminals being caught. Also featured were actual interviews with victims and FBI agents and many episodes gave a behind the scenes look at the investigations. Overall good series if you enjoy a series about real life crimes.

this documentary type series features 52 minute episodes of crimes committed in the past(usually one crime per episode)in which the FBI and local law enforcement cooperate to solve crimes.parts of the crimes are reenacted with actors.throughout the episode a narrator describes the events.real people who were involved in the original investigation are also interviewed in present day and recount their experience with the particular incident.the series is gripping and fast paced,but can be very morbid,as sometimes the particulars of the crimes are fairly well detailed.there isn't always a happy ending,either.if you're a true crime buff and you haven't seen this show i encourage you to check it out.in North America,The 1st season is out on DVD,and the 2nd and 3rd have been announced for release.my vote for The F:B:I: Files is a strong 8/10

The show is great! In my opinion, it's a lot better than CSI, because it isn't as explicit as CSI is. It shows crimes that we haven't heard of from the past. It can be a little scary for little children to watch, because when they go over the sentencing for the criminals or fugitives, it shows the photos of the people that committed a crime. Most of my friends wished the show wouldn't be canceled in 2006. But the New Detectives is a lot like FBI Files, and it is still on the road. Watching crime shows is interesting and cool, but can show graphic and explicit scenes that can be offensive for children under 13.
