Customer Reviews

Still the original and best CSI by far
Isn't it great when you discover a programme yourself without any hype and end up really liking it. Love it or hate it, I don't think that there is anybody on planet earth that hasn't heard of CSI, but when I first saw this one Saturday night on channel 5 in either 2000 or 2001, I had never heard of it and I don't think many people had, this was one of those programmes that I accidentally watched by channel hopping and I just really enjoyed and thought how fresh it felt.

It is not always true that original is best but in my opinion it is definitely true with this because CSI: Vegas is by far the best of the CSI series, I still like CSI Miami but I have tried and now completely given up on the extremely boring and shallow CSI: New York, I just find it more like a fashion show plus everybody has to be good looking, even the main cop, I wouldn't mind so much but most of the characters are so wooden that I am suprised that they don't get attacked by woodpeckers. I know that people will disagree and some people will obviously prefer either Miami or New York but I am only saying what I think.

Thankfully CSI: Vegas is as good as ever. I just find it much more enjoyable, yes this does have good looking people in it but at least they have got some charisma and I find all of the characters in this likeable plus the chemistry overall between the actors is much better in this. I also think that there was a very good reason for filming this in Sin City because to me it just adds to the enjoyment and gives it a much more darker feel and it also makes good use of atmospheric music.

Nobody ever said that this is a believable programme but who gives a flying circus, it is enjoyable and that is all that matters.

CSI 6
I hope this isn't the actual cover for this release as its just a rehash of the 6.1 boxset - I thought the best thing about these complete sets was that as well as giving you both sets in one box, the box had exclusive, full-cast artwork not on any other box in the world.
If they're backing out of this now, then that's really lame and now the sets won't match which I'm quite annoyed about because I already have the other 5 and I thought putting all 8 of them on (6 for Season 1) made the sale for me, it differentiated it from the split-seasons.

CSI 6 was after the Tarantino peak. Stories became more about characters, riding the waves that he started in the 2-part season finale Grave Danger. It works quite well, making the show more interesting to watch and finally letting us know the characters a bit better.
While its all starting to look a bit sameish, this next season is still CSI and that's still pretty good.
