Personal concerns come to the fore in these 12 episodes more prominently than ever before (a contrast to the show's original single-minded focus on the cases). Here, Sara Sidle's paramedic boyfriend unwittingly reveals a guilty secret when he is involved in a devastating car accident ("Crash & Burn"); Warwick witnesses his boyhood mentor falling apart when the older man's daughter is killed in a drive-by shooting ("Random Acts of Violence"); Catherine Willows' daughter and ex-husband are caught up in more violence and mayhem; and Grissom finally has to admit that his hearing problem can no longer be ignored. A welcome development is the expansion of the CSI unit and the introduction of some new, albeit secondary, team members. Guest stars include Elizabeth Berkely ("Lady Heather's Box") and Bobcat Goldthwait ("Last Laugh"). The show remains unrivalled for slick, fast-paced entertainment.
On the DVD: CSI, Series 3 Part 2 is a three-disc set with a handful of minor extra features. It has two frankly rather uninspiring episode commentaries featuring the directors, scriptwriters and other crew. Better are the two small featurettes--"Making It Real" and "The Writer's Room"--that shed more light on the making of the show. --Mark Walker

CSI is quite simply in a class of its own. The show manages to develop the characters without getting away from the fact that people watch the show for all the gore, intricacies of Crime Lab work and painstaking detail that it has built up.
The second half of Season is notable for a superb extra-long episode, Lady Heather's Box, where Grissom meets up with the S&M queen with whom he shares a remarkable mutual attraction.
Extras include a brilliant documentary about CSI shots - those great pieces of interior filming that make you feel as if you're going inside someone's body - and means you get to see some of the wonderfully talented backstage crew.
Sure, the tempo of the shows changes at times, but that's what makes it as compelling as it is. If you always know what sort of thing is coming, then it quickly becomes boring. That's exactly what makes CSI such unbeatable entertainment.
