The phenomenon that launched the procedural drama. From the heart wrenching truths behind murders within families (Blood Drops and Gentle, Gentle) to the macabre (Justice Is Served) to crimes that seem to only happen is Las Vegas (Table Stakes and To Halve and to Hold) CSI: Crime Scene Investigation proves in its inaugural season that it will be a force to be reckoned with for many years to come.
Gil Grissom is the supervisor of the graveyard shift of Las Vegas' elite crime scene investigators. Holly Gribbs, fresh out of the academy, joins the team.
