CSI Season 10 Review

That's right! The CSI team are back to solve more complicated murders in the city of Las Vegas for the 10th season. Anyone would think that a show that is releasing its 10th season would be a bit boring and repetitive by now, and it some cases that's true but to be honest I think its getting better and better.

Let's face it if you have seen one CSI then you have pretty much seen them all, with the storyline changing in every episode so you don't really have to watch week by week. This season of Crime scene Investigation has possibly got more gory and the deaths are more brutal to the fact that someone gets shots over 130 times, think that might sting a little. Not holding back on the fake blood or morgue scenes, this season certainly stands out from the rest on that front, however starting each episode in exactly the same way with a shot of Vegas, then a dead body does start to drag once you have seen it 30 odd times

With the same cast from the previous seasons we see the CSI's look stronger and more connected, which I think is all thanks to the arrival of Laurence Fishurne, and his character Dr Raymond Langston. Langston has a huge passion in what he does but there are some cracks that seem to show early on in this season but don't fully unfold, it was nice to see that there were more personal stories blending off from the actual story, gave the episodes more depth which for a show like CSI it is hard to keep the audience and interest and awake in my cases sometimes.

With varied episodes and deaths this season definitely kept you expecting the unexpected, with a few puzzles leaving you to think, 'how did that happen?' and 'why would anyone go and leave something like that lying around to get picked up by the most famous crime Lab in the state I will never know' You really do get caught up with mass murdering psychopaths. The first two disc showed great writing and story-telling but as you work your way through the box set you soon see laziness of the writers, but you can't blame them for running this series for 10 seasons now. Towards the end of the box set, you feel as if you can solve these murders yourself with the repetitive procedures they use in every episode to keep every single bit of evidence in its prime condition, but as you get into the investigation you're soon fixated on finding the killer.

<h2>Special features</h2>
If I am being very honest with you right now readers of Bftv, then I have to say that the special features are very poor, with not much to show for the endless deaths and swabbing this season had for us, There is barely a great amount of features to say, no making of or a deeper look into the work of this hit American show, there really is nothing to show for its huge scale of work.

For a show that has been running for so long now, you really do need to admire the writers for carrying on. Keeping you glued to the television screen still after so long and this season proves why I can't wait for season 11 to be released, I know I should be ridiculously bored of this by now but for some reason I can't get enough of it.
