"Everything is numbers," states Charlie Eppes (David Krumholtz) in the pilot of Numb3rs, a satisfying (and educational!) new crime drama. Executive-produced by brothers/film directors Ridley Scott (Gladiator) and Tony Scott (Top Gun), it's like CSI with algorithms and probabilities instead of blood spatter and DNA swabs, which separates it from the slew of gruesome forensics-centered cop shows currently on the air. In this case, it's a brains-vs.-brawn matchup: a brilliant math professor (Krumholtz) consulting on crimes for an FBI agent (Rob Morrow) who happens to be his older brother. While Don, Morrow's character, busts the baddies with his team of agents, Charlie's scribbling formulas on chalkboards and statistically deducting a rapist's next target by comparing his pattern to a sprinkler system. (Yes, it sounds geekier than it is). As the show progresses, Charlie--not yet desensitized to people's fates relying on his findings--takes it harder and harder when his hypotheses don't always result in justice. It sounds very cerebral, but the cops and robbers concept plus brother-to-brother dynamics make it all go down easy. There's an unpretentious way the premise is executed, which ends up making math--get this--fun.
The DVD set features episode commentary by cast and crew, and a peek at the unaired pilot that starred many different actors (including Anna Deveare Smith and Michael Rooker) who were dropped when the episode was overhauled. Morrow, who wasn't even in the pilot, was cast later with Judd Hirsch as their father to replace the original (blonder) actors because, as producers admitted, casting Krumholtz as Charlie took the family in an "ethnically specific direction." The jokes also abound in a behind-the-scenes featurette, where Morrow defines the series as "Rain Man … plus an extra Jew." --Ellen A. Kim

Television has had a love affair with cop and detective shows for decades, from Dragnet through Hill Street Blues to CSI - Large-Metropolitin-City-of-your-Choice.
The best ones endure in memory and frankly make compelling viewing. Not meaning to cast stones, but the mediocre ones are the television equivalent of cotton candy. There are a few (The Mentalist) that almost, but don't QUITE reach the highest heights.
Right now there are two "cop shows" that started with a ... Read More

I only recently discovered Numb3rs, and being late to the game, can't plant my I-was-watching-this-before-anyone-else flag, but if you are like me and had heard about the series, maybe caught an episode here and there on TV, but never really gave it a shot, DO IT.
I dont know why I avoided this for so long, because its a great, great crime drama with a strong human element. Yes, there's plenty of action to go around, but Numb3rs also focuses on the cerebral ways that number theory could ... Read More

From a fellow math nerd and student, it's a combination of applied math and a CSI episode without the excessive blood scenes. Math Genious Charlie teams up with his FBI Agent brother, Don, to find more effective ways of solving crime. I never saw the first season when it was on TV, but I saw most of seasons 3-5. I bought Season 1 to watch after having my wisdom teeth out and this season does not disappoint!

I am a huge Numb3rs fan so I am a bit biased. Since this could be Numb3rs last season I would recommend you get it if you are a Numb3rs fan like me. I heard rumors of syndication but have not seen anything as of yet. It's certainly not a waste of money if you are into the show like I am.

I love this show. Though, I started watching after season 1. So it was great to see how it began.
