Critical Defense for class
Crime 360 a crime show trying to pull a 360 on other crime scene shows, that has failed miserably. Each week it follows a new actual crime investigation, seeing all the pieces of evidence not matter how bloody; then focuses on the technology used in the crime scene today.
“This should all ought to be compellingly gritty, but watching Crime 360 feels almost like going to a trade show, the grit eclipsed by geekieness and gloss,” this is how Gina Bellafante describes her feelings about the show in her review, Cops Seeking a Clue, Digital Effects Aside.
Bellafante wrote, “Crime 360 is subliminal conformation of a growing societal fear that our reliance on technology is making us dumber.” She also makes clear that the detectives of this show are not helping societies cause, “The officers in the premiere don’t seem like the kind who would get too much case-cracking done if forced to rely solely on their own intellectual facilities.”
Despite the twist shows twist in focusing on the technology behind crime scenes Crime 360 is like any other crime show. When writing about the pilot episode Bellafante wrote, “the younger detective is nervous; the older is unfazed.”
Crime 360 does not pull a 360 on the competition it pulls a 180 in the wrong direction and probably wont be on the air for long.

Great kicker. Good use of the title to reject the merits of the show. Would have enjoyed to hear more of your opinion on the article and less quotes. The first and last sentence serve as great book endings.
Nice response, I think the quotes you picked paint a very clear picture of the show.
Good use of support and I particularly liked your full circle of your argument in your lede and your kicker - it was a miserable show. I had actually never even heard of this show until your review - was it even advertised and when? maybe that speaks for something about the show...
Great job!
nice, i liked the quotes you picked and your kicker was solid. i guess just proofread more, but who has time really?
I liked your use of quotes for support. Your review made it really clear that the show is awful.
this is a particularly good response because of the quotes you use to supplement/complement what you're saying.
as everyone else has said, i liked your use of quotes to support your viewpoint, as well as the way you used the title as a way to show your negative opinion of it.
