CSI was worth watching then and you know what? It’s worth watching now. The CSI: Vegas pilot pulls you right back in with its familiar video funnel effect, moody sets and stylized killings.

The show stakes its claim on audience attention early, with a violent attack on a returning character and, throughout, attempts to balance a classic dynamic with a new energy. That balance largely works. The Gil-Sara relationship, reintroduced in the pilot, remains crisp.

A clever reboot that introduces strong new players and an intriguing storyline. [27 Sep - 10 Oct 2021, p.7]

The presence of the old guard will keep fans interested in CSI: Vegas. But the new crew hasn’t distinguished themselves for the most part just yet, and they’ll need to do that soon before the presence of Petersen, Fox and company overwhelms the show.

So while it might take a couple of episodes to sort out the "Who are you?" part of The Who's credit song, the "why" behind "CSI's" revival is pretty obvious.

This CSI is indistinguishable from all the rest: The same spectacular camera zoom and splashy skyline photography. The same disturbing obsession with corpse porn.

The setup for this season-long plot is so nonsensical and confusing that even the characters are doing logical gymnastics to justify their actions. It is both the hook that the revival relies on to justify its existence and the weakest part of the show. Beyond the far-fetched plot, "Vegas" projects an overwhelming air of blandness and dullness.

This is a wonderful continuation to the original CSI Vegas that ran for many years. I love that although new, they've several of the original characters in their cast. This is a must see for those loving crime solving mysteries through forensics.

This revival is a big gamble. It tries to mix new characters with the old to get us distracted from the fact that this is actually a new CSI and not a full reboot of the show that lasted a lot longer than it should (the Ted Danson years were painful!) I am getting tired of the “frame up” David Hodges running plot and hope they resolve it and put it to bed soon. I haven’t decided whether or not I’d like the Grissom and Sara characters to stay on the show or not. Most of me says they’ve done their cameos and need to fade away and see if the new cast can carry this spinoff of the original CSI into a ratings win. Addendum: They did finally resolve the underlying frame David Hodges plot line, but it was done clumsily and hurried. We will see if the show can last without its gimmick plot twists.
