I've watched almost every 'mainstream' crime show out there and Cold Case is definitely in my top five. The use of music, the plots, the characters... they're all amazing. Maybe I'm a bit biased because I'm an oldies-but-goodies fan, but some of the songs, along with the scenes, brought tears to my eyes. The plots are good, some are even brilliant, and I was riveted for 90% of the episodes. The ease with which scenes from the present transit with scenes from the past really gave this show its unique flavour/catch. Especially at the end, when they show the present people (victim's families, friends etc) the way they were in the past.
It also shows the problems society faced in the past, like deep racism, homophobia and other outdated concepts that are (thankfully) being fought against way more now. Each episode was done artfully, and the great cast really makes the show stand out for me.
Going to rewatch now, it's been a couple of years. (:
