CSI Vegas

 This should probably go up at the end of the year with the best and worst, but it won't as Alibi finally have a new CSI, this is a reboot of Crime Scene Investigation AKA CSI Vegas.

Like every new show there is a United Nations of a cast which is really weird. They have a black woman in charge, but its OK she's cool, and the only white guy is pretty sketchy. New coroner is OK and there is a Chinese guy on the team (whatever happened to Archie Kao the film Tech) final member is some English Indian lady, as a Brit I know many of them are more English than the English so her accent throws me a bit.  Finally we get Jorja Fox and William Petersen return as Sara Sidle and Gil Grissom and no one else.

Willows has retired and what ever happened to Greg and Nick we never find out. Its been a few years there must be a few people there from the old show. But it seems to be an all new cast. We don't even get Lindsay Willows as a cop.

The case revolves around a cold case that could turn out to be potentially damaging for a lot of old cases, (Hodges keeping a lock up full of old case data that may or may not be a coverup.) Its not bad and we find out that Jim Brass the coppers cop has retired and has some visual degenerating disease. He also shoots dead some guy who tries to assault him, not bad for a half blind old guy. 

Hope they keep the quality up and don't go down the identity politics route or being total wank such as CSI Cyber. I saw the original ads for this while I was coming off of the Coof so, here's hoping it keeps up its quality.

EDIT. Current episode is based in gaming, women dev is killed and of course they namecheck gamergate.

8 years on and they still can't let it die.
