C.S.I. New York - The Complete First Season

The series is great! I'm a huge fan of CSI New York. If you haven't seen it, WATCH IT! I just have an issue with the way the box sets are sold. Here you get a complete series in one box set which is the way it should be. But in the UK they sell the box sets in half series. You CAN NOT get a complete series csi box set in the UK. They sell you episodes 1-12 in one set and then 13-22 in another set and it sucks so badly! I don't understand why they have to do that! It is just a stupid way to con more money out of us. I am only upset about this cause I live in Britain. I just though I'd let you all know how lucky you are.
Peace and love x

Thank goodness for DVD's. I never got into this series when it started but I am happy I can watch it now. Plan on getting the next ones too.

I'm a huge fan of forensic crime dramas and have been watching CSI since its inception. Of the three shows in the CSI franchise I have to say that CSI: New York is my favorite. Gary Sinise is absolute perfection as the head of the team. He and Melina Kanakaredes have great chemistry as partners and friends. The other investigators and Dr. Hawkes, the ME, round out the best CSI team ever built for television. I never had the opportunity to watch this show as it aired so watching it on DVD really gave me a chance to become invested in the character stories that unravel as the crimes come and go. Initially I thought the character of Danny Messer would be annoying because he was SO Brooklyn and seemingly cocky. But by the episode titled "Tanglewood" when Sonny Sassone (Michael DeLuise) tries to make Mac doubt Danny's loyalty to his job I found myself shaking my head in defense of Danny and watching Mac's face to make sure he didn't take Sonny's warning seriously. You can't dis Danny, I love that guy. I love 'em all.
After the CSI creators made such a mistake in casting David Caruso to play the lead in CSI: Miami (my hometown) I didn't expect their second spin-off to be an improvement on the original. I'm so glad I gave it a try.

The DVD set is excellent. I know some people worry about that. The episodes are slightly out of order if your look at the episode numbers but they fit together perfectly in the DVD order. The set does include the episode of CSI: Miami where the ever pretentious Horatio Cane travels from Miami to NY to bring a suspect to justice thereby introducing the CSI: New York team. For as much as I loathe Horatio I'm so glad they did it this way because the lighting difference in the scenes with David Caruso and Gary Sinise together is an artful touch. New York's lighting is blueish while Miami's is bright yellow. This is most obvious in one crime scene where Mac is crouched by the victim while Horatio is standing in one bright beam of sunlight coming through the victim's window. It may be a silly thing to notice but I think it shows the amount of dedication to detail that the director puts into his craft. CSI is the best American crime drama family and CSI: New York is the bright shining star of that family.

I HAVE TO SAY THAT CSI NY IS TRULY ONE OF THE BEST SHOW I SEEN. I DONT REALLY LIKE THE SECOND SEASON BECAUSE IT WAS TOO SOFT AND THEY DID TOO MUCH CHARACTER DEVELOPE. I REALLY LIKE THIS SERIE BECAUSE IT IS VERY DARK AND VERY DEPRESSING THAT IS HOW NY IS . WHAT I REALLY LIKE ABOUT THE SHOW IS THAT THE CAST WORE DARK CLOTHING TO MATCH STYLE OF THE SHOW AND THE DARK SETTING OF NYC. I HAVE TO SAY THAT I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS SHOW FOR PEOPLE WHO LOVE TO SEE NYC DARK SIDE AND OF COURSE TO SEE HOW FORENSIC CAPTURES THOSE CRIMINALS. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED AND IT IS SURE A COLLECTORS ITEM!! UNLESS SEASON 3 IS DARK LIKE THE FIRST SERIES :)
THE ONLY THING THAT I ASK IS THAT I HOPE WHEN THEY DO A CSI WASHINGTON OR MARYLAND OR WHATEVER THAT THEY PUT A WOMAN IN CHARGE OR MINORITY IN CHARGE. I MEAN SERIOUSLY LET ADD SOME DIVERSITY TO THE SHOW A BIT.
