The third permutation of the "CSI" franchise sets up shop in the Big Apple, where taciturn detective Mac Taylor and his new partner, Jo Danville, lead a crime-solving team. Taylor, a retired Marine who believes evidence holds the truth that people may try to cover up, finds balance in Jo's empathy-driven investigative style. Their team includes spirited investigators like Danny Messer and wife Lindsay Monroe Messer, former coroner Sheldon Hawkes, and edgy detective Don Flack.

Gary Sinise makes for an appealingly subdued lead in CSI:NY, helping this spinoff series distinguish itself as its own unique iteration of the flagship show's established formula.

CSI:NY, freed from the formula of its parent show, develops a personality all its own. That personality is moody and downbeat, and Sinise anchors it with a haunted, empathetic performance, giving the show more heart than the other two CSIs. Go to Full Review Jonathan Storm Philadelphia Inquirer 06/29/2023
Rivetingly creepy... New York will be even more intense in the CSI realm than Las Vegas or Miami, and the show could give NBC's Law & Order a run for its money. Go to Full Review Dana Stevens Slate 11/15/2018
Gary Sinise has the requisite mien of a CSI investigator: pasty, sleep-deprived and grim, like Miami's David Caruso or Las Vegas' inimitable William Petersen. Go to Full Review Glenn Garvin Miami Herald 06/29/2023
Sinise lends a certain gravitas to the proceedings, and the creepy pilot episode lacks any of the stupid attempts at irony that makes the other CSIs all but unwatchable. But... As The Who might say, "won't get fooled again." Go to Full Review Rick Kushman Sacramento Bee 06/29/2023
Sinise is powerful, radiating a mix of contained rage and obvious sadness, but Kanakaredes is just there as his partner. Go to Full Review Jeff Simon Buffalo News 02/04/2020
The "CSI" franchise has finally come up with its first loser -- not in the ratings, mind you, or in people's reflex affections but up on the screen, where you have to stand on your head and wear red goggles to pretend that it's a good television show. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
