CSI: Crime Scene Investigation

The show centers on a team of forensic experts employed by the Las Vegas Police Department, who rely on physical evidence to unravel gruesome murder cases in this notably graphic drama. This series has sparked a wave of similar procedural cop shows. It combines elements of deduction, intense subject matter, and character-focused storytelling. The network eventually introduced spin-offs, CSI: Miami and CSI: NY, which ran for ten and nine seasons, respectively, before being cancelled.
