10 Harsh Realities Of Rewatching CSI: Crime Scene Investigation 23 Years Later

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation was a big hit when it debuted 23 years ago and changed the face of procedurals, but there are some aspects that can’t be ignored on a rewatch. Focusing on a group of forensic investigators in Las Vegas, it ran for 15 seasons with three main supervisors leading the graveyard shift, beginning with William Petersen’s Gil Grissom, followed by Laurence Fishburne’s Dr. Ray Langston, and ending its run with Ted Danson’s D.B. Russell. Members of the team included Nick Stokes, Julie Finlay, Sara Sidle, Greg Sanders, and Morgan Brody, who worked closely with Captain (and former detective) Jim Brass, and medical examiner Dr. Al Robbins.
