America's Most Wanted reviews

America's Most Wanted holds a 7.7/10 average from 27 TMDB ratings.

It was OK for what it was, basically any show you can see on ID today, sans the closure. But really, it's watchability was low. It didn't have the appeal of Unsolved Mysteries, which hit with a broad enough brush to catch people interested in almost any topic. Instead it focuses on criminals...and that his little appeal unless the crimes are utterly sensational or of the organized variety. But, what it did was work…
