Synopsis
A smash hit from the moment of its 2000 debut, CSI: CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION has continued to remain one of the most popular, innovative, and critically acclaimed crime dramas in television history. Created by Anthony Zuiker and executive produced by movie maven Jerry Bruckheimer, the thrilling series centres on the Las Vegas Police Department's night-shift forensics unit, which utilises cutting-edge technology to solve the often grisly crimes of a glamorous city whose constant influx of visitors makes it rife with criminal elements. Quickwitted detective Gil Grissom (William Petersen) leads the highly-skilled investigative team that includes his single-mother partner, Catherine Willows (Marg Helgenberger); hair and fiber expert, Nick Stokes (George Eads); former gambling addict, Warrick Brown (Gary Dourdan); and fresh-faced newbie, Sara Sidle (Jorja Fox) with the help of tough-as-nails police captain, Jim Brass (Paul Guilfoyle) and efficient lab coroner Dr. Al Robbins (Robert David Hall). Heavy on science, creative camerawork, and uncomfortably graphic depictions of violence, CSI is revered by fans and critics alike for its consistently gripping and well-written storylines, often inspired by real-life cases.

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation 5.1
Yet another fantastic installment of the best show on TV.

The normal character's, Gil Grissom, Catherine Willows, Sarah Sidle, Warwick Brown, Nick Stokes, Greg Sanders, Jim Brass and Dr Robbins are back and in about episode seven (I think) we see a someone from the day shift become more involved with the closely-knit night team. She is not made very welcome by the team but she still remains part of the team (as we can see from season six, currently showing on TV).

This set of episodes gives us brilliant science and also further insight into the CSI's. Catherine is having trouble with her daughter Lyndsey and Greg is tested in his ambitions to get away from the DNA Lab and into the field - things don't always run smoothly.

There are a mixture of entertaining episodes such as 'Who shot Sherlock?' where an avid Sherlock Holmes fan dies in his Baker Street style basement. Was it suicide or murder - this it Greg's final chance to become a CSI. Will he pass??? There are also some more emotive episodes such as 'No humans involved' where a young boy is found dumped along with the rubbish in a back alley. This is testing for Sarah and Brass as they find out the boy has two brothers and they don't know where they are or what condition they are in.

For all of the fans of previous series the serial killer who targets students at a Las Vegas college campus by abducting them near a water fountain after painting railings with the now infamous 'blue paint' is back, even tough someone has already been executed for one of the murders. Is this the real killer? A copycat? Or might they have been partners in crime? When he starts taunting the CSI's it's bound to be an exciting conclusion.

Can't wait for the rest of series 5!!!

Jerry Bruckheimer, You're the MAN! - CSI Rocks!
To say that CSI is the finest Scientific Drama of its time is an appocolyptic understatement. I have EVERY EPISODE of ALL of the CSI family yet released on DVD. Every time you watch this masterpiece of TV you spot something new.

The acting is superior, scientific and forensic reconstruction amongst the best I have ever seem (outside of reality that is). Every character is so believable and the situations realistic.

It is true that the Miami and New York series are marked down from the Vegas episodes BUT HEY!, they have one heck of a hard act to follow. They do actually stand on their own as a series.

Any of the actor's who 'choose' to leave the CSI family need their heads read as this will be the pinnacle genre to aspire to.

In the current Season 6, now showing in the UK, Faye Dunnaway was a recent guest star - could this finally be 'the hit show in which to appear', I'd say so!

5 stars aren't enough for this exceptional dramatic delight.

CSI: crime scene investigation 5.1
This is a brilliant TV drama series which shows the more coplicated scientific side to solving crimes so if you love science and drama this great for you because all the forensic science they do on the show is actually what real CSIs do and the only things made up are some of the cases(most of them are copyed from real life cases) and the characters on the show (which by the way are awsome and it is possible to relate to some of them especially the more emotional ones like CSI Sara Sidle)
I have been a been complete and total CSI fan since season one.
CSI season 5 is by far the best out of the whole entire five seasons because my favorite character lab technition Greg Sanders finally gets out of the DNA lab and in to the field so we can see a lot more of his character!! (Im sure other Greg sanders fans will agree!)and some of the cases become more serious like in the episode 'SPARK OF LIFE' were there is a wild fire and the CSIs find a woman surviver who is covered from head to toe in 3rd degree burns and the episode 'NO HUMANS INVOLVED' is quit upsetting because Greg Sanders finds a dead 5 year old boy in a cardboard box in an ally way who had been starved to death.
I would recomend CSI:crime scene investigation to anybody.
CSI is the best drama ever! so Buy this DVD! and the rest of them because there is no point in having one season and not the others.
