I had never actually sat through an episode of CSI before (yeah, call me late to the party, whatever), but I came away pleased with what I watched. I am not normally big on drama shows but forensic sciences are interesting to me so that made it easier to stomach.
I did like the jittery, cut-from-one-place-to-another way in which the show is presented. It gives the viewer less opportunities to guess what will be next and who will do what. The camera almost always focused on one person when they were speaking, rather than putting multiple people in the frame. This to me made it seem like you were actually in the room turning your head back and forth while people talked on either side of you. It can give a sense to some that you are in the middle of what is happening, and makes you feel involved, rather than just a spectator.
Also the show itself has people who do seem very human. Everyone has their flaws, but it is overcoming those flaws which help the people on the show succeed in their task, which can also be taken as an outside lesson for people who realize that overcoming their shortcomings is necessary to succeed in life as well.
All in all, I was impressed with this show and may have to take a more serious look at it in the future.
