I never really got into the original CSI series and I've never been quite sure why. I think part of the reason is that the characters just didn't hit the right cords with me. I enjoyed watching bits of CSI Miami as I found the characters much more likeable but at the same time I could take it or leave it and wouldn't class myself as a `fan' as such. CSI New York on the other hand sucked me right in from the first episode I watched. I've always been a Gary Sinise fan but after snatching one or two episodes on tv I got straight on the internet and ordered CSI New York Seasons 1 and 2. I wasn't disappointed.
The characters in CSI New York all work together and form for me the perfect team. While they are portrayed as friends and colleagues it's done in such a way that it feels natural....unlike in CSI and CSI Miami where I felt the relationships were always a bit forced. Likewise the storylines in CSI New York range from subtle to outlandish but they all just seem to work together somehow.
All in all I think CSI New York is the best of the bunch and that's in no small part due to the starring of Gary Sinise as Mac Taylor. Pairing him with Melina Kanakaredes (Stella), Carmine Giovinazzo (Danny), Vanessa Ferlito (Aiden), Hill Harper (Sheldon Hawkes) and Eddie Cahill (Don Flack) didn't do the series any harm either.

I like the CSI NY series quite a lot especially because of the characters, much more than the original CSI (Las Vegas) and CSI Miami. I bought this DVD set as an item for my private collection. I do not care much about extras - I just wanted to be able to watch all the episodes.

I saw the first 6 episodes of this show when it premiered on Channel 5 - I admit that I am a Gary Sinise fan, that's why recorded the first few episodes - but what I saw on tv I hated. It made no sense. Then a few years ago I decided to bite the bullet and got the box set and with a degree of trepidation started watching and I was surprised by how much I liked it.
I wondered why I didn't like it when I first saw it, so I dug out my videos and took a look, and discovered that the first episode had been edited to 26 minutes in length (the 2nd was 32 minutes, the 3rd was 29 minutes), once I saw this I realised that the heavy editing of Channel 5 had ruined the show.
I was glad that I had watched and have watched them several times since; I admit that the later seasons are much improved on season 1 - the actors seem to fit and understand their roles better as the seasons go on.
I am, as I have said, a Gary Sinise fan and appreciate the motivation behind his playing of the role, the coolness towards others is understandable when you realise the tragedy his character has suffered - and it's nice to see that the recovery from such a devastating loss is not being passed over as quickly as other shows would have.
Overall a great series and a great season - (sorry but I'm back on my usual hobby horse) region 2 DVD = 2nd class DVD viewers or to put it another way, no extras!!!
Come on Hollywood, we pay more than Americans do for DVDs and blu-rays so why the poor treatment.

I was a big fan of CSI: Crime Scene Investigations, but lost interest badly with CSI: Miami. With the arrival of CSI: New York, I'm hooked again.
The forensics sequences still drive me crazy (why is it that in every CSI show, the cigarette end found next to the victim ALWAYS* leads to the killer, never to some innocent bloke who just happened to have a smoke there half an hour before the murder?!), but this time round, we've got some real characters, rather than crime-solving robots. Gary Sinese is at his best since Apollo 13, and there is enough new talent here to keep us in films and TV for the next decade or so. The writers may slip in one too many corny lines now and then, as if they just can't hold themselves back, but much of the dialogue, particularly the "personal" bits, is spot-on.
So, minus a star for the annoying forensics stuff, but full-marks for the drama.
* except for one episode in Series 2 - keep 'em peeled!

Easily as good as the other CSI's
Each of the CSI franchise series has its own sense of identity and its own distinct 'feel' both in terms of the teams and the style of filming and set production. Read more
