CSI: Vegas is the latest incarnation of the popular crime procedural, airing on CBS since September 2021. The show combines elements of the original CSI: Crime Scene Investigation series, which aired from 2000-2015, and a new cast of characters and cases. The show follows the Las Vegas crime lab's team of forensic investigators, who use cutting-edge technology and scientific methods to solve complex cases. Led by the new head of the lab, Maxine Roby (Paula Newsome), the team includes forensic anthropologist Josh Folsom (Matt Lauria), tech analyst Allie Rajan (Mandeep Dhillon), and former Vegas detective Gil Grissom (William Petersen), who returns to the show after a hiatus. While the show retains the familiar format of previous CSI series, there are a few stylistic changes. The producers have opted for a more cinematic look, with handheld cameras and dynamic lighting that create a sense of immediacy and realism. The show also explores the personal lives of the characters more deeply than previous iterations, with subplots involving relationships and family issues playing a larger role in the storytelling. One thing that hasn't changed is the show's focus on forensic science. Each episode features a new case, which is often grisly, complex, and involves multiple twists and turns. The team uses a range of high-tech equipment, from DNA sequencers to 3D printers, to analyze evidence, identify suspects, and solve puzzles. The show also highlights the importance of teamwork and collaboration, as each member of the team brings a unique set of skills and perspectives to the investigations. In addition to the main cast, there are several recurring characters who help flesh out the show's world. These include Chase Palmer (Paul Guilfoyle), a former CSI who now runs a private forensics company; Dr. Jenna Williams (Jorja Fox), a pathologist who has a history of working with the team; and Anabel Vega (Mel Rodriguez), a forensic specialist who is brought in to help with particularly challenging cases. Overall, CSI: Vegas offers a fresh take on a beloved franchise, combining the familiar elements that fans have come to love with new characters, cases, and production values. The show's focus on forensic science and cutting-edge technology remains as relevant and engaging as ever, while the addition of more character-driven storytelling adds a new layer of depth and nuance. Whether you're a longtime fan of the franchise or a newcomer to the world of forensic investigation, CSI: Vegas is a must-watch for anyone who loves crime dramas. Note: William Petersen, who played Gil Grissom in the original series, only appears as a recurring character in the first season of CSI: Vegas.
