A dedicated group of forensic investigators at the Las Vegas Crime Lab works to solve often-grisly crimes in Sin City. Heading up the graveyard shift (an appropriate term in this case) is supervisor D.B. Russell, a "Left Coast" Sherlock Holmes who devours crime novels. Members of Russell's team include Julie Finlay, Nick Stokes, Sara Sidle (the team's moral compass), Greg Sanders and Morgan Brody. The investigative team works closely with Capt. Jim Brass -- a seasoned detective who is a protector of CSI -- Dr. Al Robbins -- medical examiner -- and quirky lab technician David Hodges. Previous leaders of the group include Gil Grissom and Dr. Ray Langston.

Playing tired despair can come across as boredom, something Petersen has mostly avoided. Go to Full Review David Hinckley New York Daily News 10/09/2008
Based on Laurence Fishburne's debut appearance Thursday night, easing him into the spotlight being vacated by William Petersen should ultimately serve the show well. Go to Full Review Alan Sepinwall Newark Star-Ledger 10/09/2008
It has a film noir aesthetic that asks you to take it seriously in a way that the spin-offs don't (or can't), and yet it's far more comfortable with intentional comedy. Go to Full Review Peter Canavese Groucho Reviews 04/21/2020

[Laurence] Fishburne's heft and natural gravitas ensures the show's center will hold, even as it slides down the hierarchy from the top to the bottom. Go to Full Review Will Harris Bullz-Eye.com 02/10/2020
4.5/5
By the last half-dozen episodes of the season, the show had settled into such a comfortable groove with its new roster that things almost felt too relaxed at times, but the fans of this show relish the familiarity. Go to Full Review James Chamberlin IGN Movies 05/22/2009
8.1/10
Season nine may not go down as the best season in the show's history, but it remains a cut above all of the other shows of its kind. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
