Amazon.com Relaxing at the top of the Nielsen ratings, C.S.I. Crime Scene Investigation: The Complete Fifth Season stretched its legs a little to wander into the more grisly, more disturbing, and altogether more personal. "Down the Drain" showed the first overt romantic moment--in the form of a near-kiss--between Catherine Willows (Marg Helgenberger) and Warrick Brown (Gary Dourdan), which was discussed at length in the commentary and behind-the-scenes featurette as "a big moment." After that tease, the series pulled back and plunged into some of its most disturbing crimes yet. In "King Baby," a wealthy, middle-aged murder victim turns out to have lived as a baby, complete with adult-sized nursery; in "4x4," a personal trainer's face is eaten away from the inside out due to toxic mold in his house; in "Compulsion," a teen boy kills his younger brother for revealing that the older brother wets the bed.
The biggest change in this season is an HR one: new director Conrad Ecklie (Marc Vann) splits up the team, making Willows a shift supervisor and causing friction between she and Sara Sidle (Jorja Fox). He also adds a new member, Sofia Curtis (Louise Lombard), to banter with Gil Grissom (William Petersen)'s team. The move doesn't dampen the show's pace, as most cases break the team into twosomes anyway. But it does add a new villain in Ecklie, all politics and PR versus Grissom's heart to protect his team. Meanwhile, other cases dig deeper into the personal demons of Sidle and Willows; and the season finale, a slam-bam two-parter handily directed by Quentin Tarantino, focuses on the kidnapping of Nick Stokes (George Eads), buried alive with fire ants. This episode, the most emotionally charged yet, brings the entire team together and shows why it's still the No. 1 show on television. --Ellen A. Kim
Had me from Whooo....January 6, 2009 Each season is well written. I watch each season from first episode to last; it doesn't matter if I've seen the episode before. Well written, sometimes far fetched, but definitely entertaining enough to get my mind going in the process.
CSI: The OriginalDecember 15, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Arrived in a timely fashion. It was described as Brand New, but the plastic covering had small tears which was not mentioned in the description. Won't know if the DVD is good until Christmas Day; it was a gift.
CSI - L.V. is the best!October 30, 2008 This CSI team is just GREAT! All of them investigating the crimes are done right with a little bit of magic between them.
Exceptional as AlwaysOctober 28, 2008 I'm a big fan of CSI, and I think the 5th season was one of their best. This season furthered the character development without sacrificing any of the usual CSI story elements.
I like certain shows like thisAugust 3, 2008 I do not always like police series but this is a different type from most so this is a good series overall, I just wish that they would do more bonus features. I especially like the features that use real CSI to explain what is going on in the show.
