Goofs:

Continuity: In the episodes where the blood is spattered or in a large pool, the pattern of the blood varies from scene to scene. For example: A man is killed and the blood is sprayed across a desk. The pattern in scene 1 (finding the body) will be different than in scene 2 (going back to the crime scene for further evidence).

Quotes:

Danny Messer: [looking at evidence from a murder case] I can't wrap my head around it, Mac. You get up, you go to work, see the people that you know, you talk, you laugh. You're living your life, then suddenly, boom. It's just over. Just like that, and you never even saw it coming.

Worth the Hour

CSI New York is as good as the other CSI shows and follows in their footsteps as not being for the squeamish. If you like the intrigue and the puzzles of the original, you should like this one too. You get to know a little more about the characters than the original, yet it is not as dramatic or glitzy as the Miami show. It is really a nice balance with different writing but the same interesting stuff. Some of the graphic detail is less on the scientific side and more on the gruesome, man-we-live-in-a-screwed-up-world side. It does get annoying that someone always has some bit of knowledge that cracks the case. They rarely have to do any real digging. In the real world, I am sure that most cases do not pose much in the way of challenge, yet when they do I am also sure that there is some serious research going on. I gave it a score of eight because it is really good. It is not the best show I have ever seen in my life, but I watch it every week. I watch maybe 4-5 hours of TV each week, and one of those hours is for CSI New York.
