C.S.I: Las Vegas is a show that has been running for 9 years now and has never dropped in quality and Season 8 is no exception.
Part 2 opens with a very dramatic episode which sees Warwick Brown involved with local mobsters - a story that continues throughout the remainder of the season. Also in these episodes, a comedy star is murdered (in an episode written by Chuck Lorre and Lee Aronsohn who write Two and a Half Men - with appearances from the lead three); a man is burnt to death after being hit with pepper spray and then stunned; a cowboy is supposedly trampled to death by a bull; and not to mention the truly shocking season finale!
Although the episodes in season 8 really are great, due to the writer's strike the season was much shorter than usual with only 17 episodes in total, so it may be worth waiting a while to buy this as £25 for just 9 episodes does seem a tad expensive.
Overall if you're a fan of CSI there's no doubt that you're going to love this season as it really is brilliant. I've recently been watching Season 9 and it is still as strong as ever so it looks like this excellent show isn't going to slow down anytime soon!

It's amazing how good the quality of this series is still at season 8. The authors manage to always find new themes, twists and just the right measure of humour.
We follow our favourite characters as their lives unfold, they encounter new friends and enemies, and their relationships become more complex. And of course there's a major cliffhanger, which has become a thrilling tradition in this series.
The only downside (and the reason for one less star) is that each DVD comes with a car commercial before the menu, which can't be easily skipped. In addition to the notorious "don't copy" intro commercial. IMHO, this is an insult to the people who buy DVDs for good money so they can skip commercials on TV and enjoy good quality. If the customer paid for the DVD, she/he shouldn't be burdened by yet another commercial, especially when it's the same over and over again.

Well, this season was like the others, good (even after 8 years). But, this one is also the one which brings a lot of changes. Can't tell because, I don't want to spoil you. But, in this first part, a big surprise is about to happened. And, the presence of the CSI-Without a Trace cross-over as an extra is a very good idea (especially if you are not a fan of Jack Malone and his team like me).
