Detective Mac Taylor (Gary Sinise) heads the New York City Crime Labs, and like his CSI counterparts in Las Vegas and Miami, he and the talented members of his forensics division grapple with the "how" and the "why" of crime scene investigation. For Taylor and his team -- Stella (Melina Kanakaredes), Flack (Eddie Cahill), Aiden (Vanessa Ferlito), Danny (Carmine Giovinazzo) and Sheldon (Hill Harper) -- it's a big Big Apple, filled from stem to core with the routine, the extraordinary, and the bizarre as they probe the fascinating world of criminalistics in CSI: NY.This seven disc collection includes all 24 episodes from The Complete First Season of CSI: NY!
"...a different animal from its predecessors...[CSI: NY] is more purposeful in its pacing, gorier in its depiction of crime, and grittier overall, like the city itself." Francis Rizzo, III, DVD Talk
"...the perfect city in which to set this show. I think it's the best so far." NeedCoffee.com
"...[striking] a balance between humor, darkness, drama, and logic...CSI: New York is an engaging and emotionally mature show..." Rob Lineberger, DVD Verdict
"...the darkest, most gloomy CSI show of them all...much, much better [than CSI: Miami]." Eamonn McCusker, DVD Times
"...the grittiest of the three CSI shows...The pacing is even, the stories flow nicely keeping the audience engaged completely." Home Theater Info
Editor's Note
The second of two spinoffs launched by the hugely popular television series CSI: CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION, CSI: NEW YORK distinguishes itself with an even darker, grittier tone than either of its predecessors by grounding the action in the gloomy aftermath of post-9/11 New York. The always brilliant Gary Sinise anchors the series as sternly professional former-Marine police detective Mac Taylor, whose stoic exterior masks the pain of losing his wife in the World Trade Center attacks. Taylor's forensics team includes his tough-as-nails partner, Stella Bonasera (Melina Kanakaredes); the sexy but street-smart investigator Aiden Burn (Vanessa Ferlito); no-nonsense tough guy Don Flack (Eddie Cahill); smart-aleck detective Danny Messer (Carmine Giovinazzo); and the briskly efficient coroner, Sheldon Hawkes (Hill Harper). Bathed in somber, blue-tinged cinematography, the spinoff emphasizes well-drawn character development without sacrificing any of the grisly criminal and scientific elements that made its parent show such a smashing success. This collection presents every episode from the series' debut season.

"Delving a little more deeply into the private lives of its surprisingly disheveled characters, it more closely resembles Jerry Bruckheimer's other Gotham-set TV drama 'Without A Trace'." 01/01/2006 p.90 |
