To have the erroneous gripe that the show is showing commercials at a ratio of 4:5 is ridiculous. If that were the case, then the episodes wouldn't be 21 minutes - just as most shows on most stations are. And while this show does use some of the 'filler' tactic of 'coming up next...' it's not near as much as I was expecting. It's actually quite an entertaining show and does what it wants to do well without any slant or bias. It's kind of like Tosh.O without the jokes. Or like Ridiculousness without the annoying girl pretending to be a rapper. And to be honest, Court Cam is a lot funnier than Ridiculousness.

Loud annoying background music
jeffriesusmvmc7 April 2024
I love the show. I hate the fact that it is difficult to enjoy the show when the background music is so loud it drowns out the narrator. I've complained about this before. Don't understand why A&E can't get this right. To often I must hit playback to hear the content. My next step will be to remove A&E from my DVR list. I've seen other complaints in the reviews about this. Very annoying. More than once, I have switched channels mid show because of this. Court cam is one of my favorite shows. I hate to lose it but if I can't hear half the narration I will no longer be a viewer. Don't know why the producers can't remedy this problem. I've spoken with several family members and they all agree with my assessment.
Court Cam

It gets you hooked right away! I love that it takes the perspective from all angles... not just criminals, but law enforcement, judges, lawyers, etc. I love that they also follow up with what happens on most cases so you don't sit there guessing.
Gritty look at justice
rcmoore7613721 December 2019
What goes on behind the scenes when court is in session. Some videos are violent and emotionally upsetting. I found the show rewarding and gives a balanced view of our justice system. It's flawed but real. Not for the faint of heart.
Love court cam but guards are too fat and lazy

I love court cam, but it is obvious to me the guards are fat and lazy and I don't know how they are keeping their jobs if, in any case of court cam, I as a human being could see trouble brewing. I know the prisoner is there for a reason, but why are these overweight take 4 of them to take one guy down. I don't know 5a spoiler is so I'm presuming thats a negative
PHENOMENAL!!!

Absolutely amazing show filled with things the public doesn't typically get to see!
Ignore all the low ratings from Ken's and Karens complaining about petty things such as commercial breaks and footage replays lol they will literally complain about anything so I wouldn't take them or their reviews to seriously.

Love this show!

I watch this commercial free online, so I have no complaints about "too many commercials". Commercials should not have an influence on weather or not the show gets good ratings. The show it's self is good! I hope the seasons continue.

I found about Court Cam through YouTube. At first, I didn't really think of anything good that would come from the show when I first watched it, but let me tell you, after a few episodes I was GLUED to my screen like an addict. Dan Abrams does a great job as a narrator and describing what is going on and why it is happening. Court Cam is not hesitant to go into details about crimes and the events that led up to these crimes, murder or no murder. I'm also glad he keeps tabs on others not involved in the actual case and just those who are held in Contempt of Court out of emotion and anger!
10/10 would recommend!

My Rating is NOT for the Show!!
rdh-3610716 February 2021
I was watched the show for the first time, episode 3:1. The lady at the end, Mrs Abdul, gave a wonderful statement to the young man who kid her son and to his mother. It was amazing. Her words inspired me. I was teary eyed by the end. I give her words of forgiveness and love the 10 stars.
Commercial court

GREAT IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN ONLINE IN THE PAST DECADE!
rbaron-9643319 January 2021
So.... hard to give this BRAND NEW SHOW that shows you 3+ year old internet videos, a good review. Even Tosh.0 has more recent content - at least he admits he found his videos on YouTube etc.... this show gives the impression you're going to see something you've never seen before... FAIL.
RIDICULOUS!
MovieCriticOnline11 December 2021
They literally stretch out every 20 second clip to like 3 minutes by pausing, rewinding, replaying it etc. It's so annoying. I hate when reality shows do that. They are trying to milk every moments as much as they can but it makes for boring frustrating viewing.
The Dan Abrams show
ssmith-1109816 May 2022
At least it should be renamed that because you get to see (& hear) his face before, during and at the end of every episode. And the guy sure does love to play with the effects way too much! Pause, fast forward, rewind, zoom in, zoom out, highlight villains, highlight heroes. MEH.
Reboot of Disorder in the Court
kamikaze-43 August 2021
I don't know how TV shows get pitched, but this show is a rip-off of another trashy reality show, Disorder in the Court. How do I know? (Insert humor) I used to watch TruTV's Disorder in the Court infrequently. Come on folks. Give us something different.
Fake escape attempt
sdqq-7384418 January 2024
In the video of Leonid Greyser, the guy who killed his sister because satan told him to, while he's trying to escape at 1:04 you can clearly see him walk right out of the right hand side of the box he's supposedly being "held" in because he's so dangerous. There is no actual rear on the box, leading me to conclude that this is nothing but theater. They also use stun guns as he attempts to crawl through the ceiling, but they never really connect with him. I would think that if there is ever a time to broil a convict who's attempting escape, this would be the time to do it. I'm not sure if the rest of the episodes are also contrived, but this one sure is!
Lots and lots and lots lots of rewinds.

Overall a very good show...or rather it would be in it didn't do what some others here have pointed out, spending the first several minutes coming out of commercial repeating the several minutes before they went into commercial over again like waaaaay too many reality shows of this type do. In this way they take a 4 or 5 minute story and stretch it into three times as long with all the fillers.
Also, like many reality court series they show victim impact statements. These are a great advancement in sentencing for victims, however on shows like this they become numbing beyond belief.
It's not just on shows like this, but also on news reports where every victim immediately rises to the level of sainthood. They all "lit up the room" and were "loved by all" and "had a bright future", as unrealistic as that is. I have known some victims of crimes and while no one deserves to be one, many of them were real jerks and losers in real life and only "lit up the room" when they were hammered themselves.
People do not become magical saintly beings who would have solved Cancer and brought about world peace just because they became victims. Some of them were always jerks and just became jerks who were victimized. And cameras in the courtroom certainly don't help with the dramatics from ALL concerned.
