!!Tropes Present in ''Wisdom of the Crowd'':

* ForensicDrama: Of the digital sort. Sophe's users are encouraged to submit and evaluate evidence on criminal cases -- this includes picking apart the details of photos, dissecting the metadata attached to videos, researching weather patterns, and trawling through the social media profiles of victims and suspects alike for clues.
%%* HollywoodHacking:
%%* PlayfulHacker:
* PlotTriggeringDeath: The death of Jeffrey and Alex's daughter, Mia, drives him to create the crime-solving crowd-sourcing platform "Sophe."
* SerialKiller: Appears in episode three, "Machine Learning." Utilizing the evidence fed to Sophe's "crowd," Jeffrey's team concludes that several seemingly unrelated murders are the work of a single individual.
* ShortRunners: Ran for one season before it was cancelled, due to a combination of poor ratings and allegations of sexual harassment brought against star Creator/JeremyPiven.
* StraightManAndWiseGuy: Josh and Tariq's relationship at work -- Josh is a nerdy, straight-laced, by-the-book programmer, while Tariq is a hip, snarky hacker.
* WackyStartupWorkplace: The disused warehouse in Oakland that serve as the base of operations for Jeffrey's "Hive."
