Still the original and best CSI by far - By: Lando Malak, 17 Jul 2007 
Isn't it great when you discover a programme yourself without any hype & 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 5in either 2000 or 2001, I had never heard of it & I don't think many people had, this was one of those programmes that I accidentally watched by channel hopping & I just really enjoyed & thought how fresh it felt.
It is not always true that original is best butin 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 & now completely given up on the extremely boring & 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 & 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 peoplein it but at least they have got some charisma & I find all of the charactersin this likeable plus the chemistry overall between the actors is much betterin this. I also think that there was a very good reason for filming thisin Sin City because to me it just adds to the enjoyment & gives it a much more darker feel & 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 & that is all that matters.
Faster, Sharper and Slicker - By: Mr. A. J. P. Brouard, 17 Mar 2007 The original returns for the first half of season six with a re-vamped opening sequence which is a taster for a new-feel for the series. The camera-work seems to be sharper, cramming more visual images into each 42 minute episode. The sound-work is superb, & is the subject of one of the few extras available on these discs; which as always is the only disappointment given the unbelievably brilliant & gripping line-up of episodes produced for this first half.
The range of story-lines is as diverse asin previous series, ranging from real-life "were-wolves" to a mass suicidein a secluded fallout shelterin the Nevada desert. Interspersed are some extremely powerful acting performances, particularly by Paul Guilfoyle (Capt. Jim Brass),in the awesome double episode " A bullet runs through it."
If you have been an avid fan of this series, which must be considered some of the best TV around at the moment, then the developmentin the personalities of each character is now at a point where real empathy can be felt by the viewer.
The best news of all is that after Ecklie's splitting up of the team during the last season, the group is back together again under Grissom (minus Sophia who has returned to the Sheriff's department but continues to assist her ex-colleagues as part of her new role).
There have been several other developments, but I will leave them for you to discover whilst watching the episodes. Rest-assured that the team are not resting on their laurels & continue to push the boundaries to leave the viewer wanting more.
CSI Season 6 Part 1 - By: Mr. J. A. Stansfeld, 08 Feb 2007 A lacklustre start to this series, the first two episodes aren't exactly mind-blowing but from then on the series builds up some real steam & it becomes one of the best CSI series. Some very emotional episodes follow (A bullet runs through it) & (Gum Drops) & some of the greatest moments of television history can be found here; but of coursein order to enjoy these episodes to the maximum, you have to buy Part 2.
Enjoy!
