Back for its 10th season, C.S.I. features a team of forensic investigators trained to solve crimes the old-fashioned way -- by examining the evidence. The team's leader, Gil Grissom, heads the Las Vegas Bureau. Investigators include team leader Catherine Willows; former medical doctor and professor Ray Langston; Capt. Jim Brass; and Nick Stokes. The detectives use Sherlock Holmes-style deduction to track down criminals using clues such as footprints, carpet fibers, and the imprint of a license plate number on a hit-and-run victim's bruised leg. The former team leader, Gil Grissom, left the crime lab halfway through last season and his wife, Sara Sidle, has returned to Las Vegas to help out when the staff is short-handed. Plots will revolve around these changes and adjustments as well as crime solving and detection.
C.S.I. contains a great deal of sex and violence. In each episode, the crimes committed are slowly reconstructed and shown in flashback sequences; violent acts may be replayed several times in the course of the program. Graphic images, including close-ups of corpses with gunshot wounds, autopsies, and other bloody injuries, are common. Other graphic scenes have depicted cannibalism, a fully nude female corpse, and mutilated victims of a deranged killer. Sexual situations are extremely graphic. In the past, scenes included a man with a biting fetish, men receiving S&M beatings from a dominatrix in a sex club, a grown man with a sexual desire to dress like and be treated as an infant, and a woman making a sex video for her 15-year-old stepson. A recent episode included footage of a dead child and a teenaged girl being beaten during a botched exorcism. Foul language on C.S.I. includes "damn," "hell," “bastard, "bitch," "ass," and "asshole." The series airs at 9:00 p.m., when some children are still awake, and reruns frequently even earlier.
C.S.I. is not recommended for viewers under age 18.
