CSI: New York: Season 3

If you are going by statistics, then CSI NY emerged by far as being the weakest link. I freely admit that as being a major fan of it. First CSI NY tried to imitate the gritty nature of the original and then mimicked the artistic style of Miami, all but becoming almost a hybrid of the two. I'm glad to say that during the course of Season 3 - CSI NY steps out of the shadows of its predecessors and finds its own flavor with three dimensional characters as opposed to more two dimensional ones. Obviously I can't speak for everyone else but if CSI NY has one trump card to add to its aces, it's Lindsay Monroe. I can't explain it other than to say that she simply steals 82 to 88% of the scenes she is in. Especially with Messer, Mac and Stella - she is simply the ultimate enhancement talent of the CSI franchise next to Sara Sidle of Las Vegas. And for a newcomer, that's a pretty impressive thing to pull off. I love watching the character development and the very real challenges put forth to the team. I thoroughly enjoyed this season and as the perennial underdog of the franchise, NY continues to demonstrate why it should be taken seriously.

I think this is one of their best seasons yet. I have been a fan of the CSI series for a while. I always got annoyed with the way "H" from Miami acted. I liked the original CSI, but I think CSI: NY is the best because not only is New York one of the greatest cities in the US, but it is the way they do the episodes that really draws you in. One of my favorite episodes is one where Danny and Lindsay process a crime scene where they find a cockroach with some priceless jewels on it. There are many great episodes throughout the season, and I really like the fact that the hint at the characters personal life, but it doesn't take away from the individual episodes. I have seen almost every single episode of CSI: NY, including all of the episodes of season 5 that have been made, and I have to say that my absolute favorite episode is the season 3 finale. You can't wait to see what is going to happen next, and how the characters are going to resolve the situation that they have been thrown into. I am excited to see where this show will go.

I've been keeping up with the DVDs for CSI and CSI: Miami pretty much since they were first being released. But for some reason, I never was into CSI: NY. Possibly because the other series are set in warm climates and tend not to make me jealous, possibly becuase there are enough interesting characters (read: science guys and cool murders solved) to keep a girl busy for plenty of time. Whatever the reason, NY just wasn't for me.Now things have changed. I'm still jealous of the snow on the ground, whether it's real or fake. However, there are new science guys to be discovered and that brain scanner in Dr. Hammerback's autopsy suite and the virtual autopsy room are the ultimate in technological gadgetry. See y'all in season 10!

CSI: NY is a great show and I love how well the cast gets along. I especially love Gary Sinise and what he brings to the show as Mac Taylor. He is a combination of William Petersen's Gil Grissom (CSI) and David Caruso's Horatio Caine (CSI: Miami) but with military training. The Third season of CSI: NY was really good and kept you on the edge of your seat with the mystery of Melina Kanakaredes' Stella Bonasera of having HIV or not, also the fact of some of the CSI's being set up and framed for a murder they did not commit. If you have not checked out this show then you need to because even though it has CSI in the title it still has a flavor of it's own.

love CSI

Love this show!!!

A must for all CSI fans. Each of the three CSI shows, CSI, Miami and New York have their own great stories and characters,therefore each show can stand on it's own merit. New York with it's gritty attitude and Big Apple skylines, comes across well in its third season. Fantastic character growth, excellent performances by GARY SINICE,MELINA KANAKAREDES and the rest of the cast. The writing is top notch( god bless the writers!!!)You will not be disappointed. Season three races along to the season finale that was edge of your seat drama. You wont be disappointed.

Love it

I'm hooked on this series - and have a regular doses. Started earlier this year with series 1 and just got this and series 2 to ensure my addiction is fed. Once I've got through this lot I will start ion the other CSIs. Gary Senise is brilliant. The stories are structured nicely and comfortingly the same every time like " Criminal Minds" etc with an emsemble cast each episode tackling two crimes and then much messing around with test-tubes and chemistry sets in general. They always get their man too.

love csi new york,ive got all the seasons so far and really enjoy them all,like csi miami,you get to know all the characters and their personal stories,quality of dvds are good too-if you liked the original set in vegas-you will like this one also,its quite simiular at times,not as cheesey as miami,actors are more rough and ready,a good spin off.

I absolutely love CSI NY and I think season 3 is by far one of the best seasons they made. I have watched it countless times online and thought it was about time I bought the DVD. It never seems to get boring!

Good box set, region 1 DVD works with a multi region DVD player which I have. Good value. Worth buying if you like the series.

Good actors and ok storyline
