Product Description:
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'
third season.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS

The third season of CSI: New York is full of murder, mayhem, and
mystery. And luckily for lead investigator Mac Taylor (Gary Sinise),
it also includes a little romance in the form of the lovely Dr.
Peyton Driscoll (Claire Forlani), a medical examiner who joins the
staff. All 24 episodes from the third season, which aired on CBS
during 2006-2007, are included on this six-disc box set. And moreso
than the previous two years, this season has a taut, cohesive feel.
The characters have bonded and come into their own, especially
Detective Don Flack (played by Eddie Cahill, who made his name
playing the boytoy of both Jennifer Aniston on Friends and Sarah
Jessica Parker on Sex and the City). Mac's team also includes Stella
Bonasera (Melina Kanakaredes), Dr. Sheldon Hawkes (Hill Harper), and
the aptly named Dr. Sid Hammerback (Robert Joy). When Sid, the
medical examiner, goes off one of his lengthy tangents, Sheldon
quietly points out, "You're going to that creepy place again." Fans
will be a little frustrated at the flirtation between detectives
Lindsay Monroe (Anna Belknap) and Danny Messer (Carmine Giovinazzo),
which falters before it really gets to start.
This season includes guest appearances from tennis player John
McEnroe, singer Nelly Furtado, magician Criss Angel, former
heartthrob Joey Lawrence, and a real-life Goth burlesque group that
goes by the name Suicide Girls. The latter make for interesting
visuals, but they slow down the scenes with their stilted acting.
While it's understandable that CSI:NY wants to stand out from other
dramas--including those in the CSI franchise, it's odd that the
producers would give such a big chunk of air time to a group of
women who aren't completely convincing in roles playing themselves.
On the other hand, Edward Furlong (Terminator 2: Judgment Day) is
perfectly cast in the role of a college student who's not quite
right after his brother is executed for a crime he insists wasn't
his fault. The boxed set includes audio commentary on four episodes,
as well as behind-the-scenes featurettes. If you've got the stomach
for it, take a tour of the "body farm" (where the decomposition of
bodies are studied) with Hill Harper. --Jae-Ha Kim
