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.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

The arrival of the compulsively watchable Ted Danson injects the CSI lab with new blood, although this procedural's scalpel has undeniably dulled over the years.

In general, CSI has become a richer series. Go to Full Review Zoe Williams Guardian Mar 13, 2012
That's the real problem - not that CSI has exhausted all possible causes of death proffered by the modern world; rather that, leechlike, they have sucked all the blood out of sentient humanity. Go to Full Review Jim Garner TV Fanatic Dec 8, 2011
