Murder, and its tale-telling aftermath, is the compelling subject of
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. Since it premiered on CBS on October
6, 2000, CSI was a ratings triumph, spawning a spinoff (CSI: Miami)
and positioning itself for long-term success. As the first season
demonstrates, creator Anthony Zuiker's foolproof formula was
established early on, bolstered by a fine ensemble cast and
requiring minimal tweaking as the season progressed; its Las
Vegas-based "criminalists" eventually became "CSI" steeped in the
scientific minutiae of forensic investigation, but the series
arrived essentially intact, with an irresistible (and seemingly
inexhaustible) supply of corpses and the mysteries that surround
them. Influenced by the graphic precedent of movies like Seven and
Kiss the Girls, CSI matches morbidity with dispassionate
methodology; viewers are so fascinated by the investigative process
that they're unfazed by intimate autopsies and internal (i.e.,
digitally animated) views of traumatized flesh, bone, and sinew.
While keeping abreast of cutting-edge technologies, CSI combines the
ingenuity (and fallibility) of villains with the appealing humanity
of its heroes. CSI director and entomologist Gil Grissom (played by
series coproducer William Petersen) is introverted but ethically
intense; he's both mentor and moral compass for his night-shift
team, including a former stripper-turned-CSI (Marg Helgenberger); a
recovering gambler (Gary Dourdan); an eager ace (George Eads) with
room for improvement; a workaholic (Jorja Fox) who can't always
remain emotionally detached from her cases; and a chief detective
(Paul Guilfoyle) who's a necessary link to police procedure. Like
The X-Files, CSI supports its characters with feature-film
production values, employing a Rashomon structure that turns murder
into a progressively accurate study of cause and effect. Script
quality is consistently high ("Blood Drops" and "Unfriendly Skies"
are exceptional), direction is slick and sophisticated, and the
mysteries are complex enough to invite multiple viewings. Despite a
regrettable shortage of DVD features, CSI's inaugural season remains
addictively worthy of its lofty reputation. --Jeff Shannon
