I’m a big fan of the Philly-based mystery show Cold Case. This week, a clue links two five year old murders — one of a 15 year old drug dealer in North Philly, and the other of a straight-A student in Chestnut Hill — and causes both crimes to be re-opened. For an extra bonus, the soundtrack features U2 this week. They focus on the case and character development and there’s usually a resolution at the end, so it’s easier to watch than courtroom dramas. The camera work is nice and it brings you into parts of the city you might not normally go. (CBS Sunday @8, though replays come occasionally on cable)
