★★★★★ · this is a solid show · bartenational · 2016-05-06
Much like the Dragnet series this is a show about spreading the word about scams and shady dealings of the criminal minds. This is a service we need today to sort out the lairs and BS artists that populate modern culture. The cigarette ad at the beginning was shocking. I was just admiring at a vintage cardboard cut out advertisement of a kid selling cigarettes on Ebay this morning. Then to see the very same kid alive and on tv was a great treat. He is saying something unintelligible. Please let me know if anyone knows what he is saying.
