CSI: YDY
Okay, so spurred by my recent viewing of To Live and Die in L.A. (which I deem to be one of the greatest cop movies ever made), I wanted to learn more about William Petersen and discovered that I was probably the only person on the planet who didn't know he was the star of the hit television show CSI. It's been running on CBS since the year 2000. I don't really watch CBS, so I guess I can use that as an excuse for never seeing an episode of the most popular show of the decade.
That's correct, I've NEVER seen an episode of CSI. Wow, I'm a tool.
Anyway, here's the mission: I am going to try to see every episode of CSI every produced. In order. By the end of the year. There are 176 episodes thus far. I have Netflix and have found them streaming online so I think this is possible. I'm trying to see one a day but we'll see how long I can maintain that pace.
I'll be periodically updating my thoughts. For now I'm 6 episodes in, and here's what I think:
-The first few episodes seem very hacky and disjointed, kind of cheesy. But that's common for any show starting out I'm sure.
-Petersen looks pretty old sometimes, particularly on and around the neck.
-I think I want more stuff about the characters' personal lives, but the only one we know much about through 6 episodes is the single mom, who I find very dull.
-The acting is good but nothing special thus far. Except for Petersen. He kicks ass.
