CSI: Crime Scene Investigation - The Complete Seventh Season (DVD, 2007, Multiple Disc Set)

Does anybody still wonder why CSI is the #1 TV Series? I guess that's no secret: incredible plots, talented cast and sophisticated production. Watching every CSI episode is a different experience. That's the advantage of a show which is not so focused on characters and their personal issues (shows like these suck sometimes), but it's mostly story-driven, so I guess that's why I never get tired of watching every new episode that comes out.

I own all of the previous six DVD boxes (bought the full package at once) and watched almost all of the seventh season episodes on my iPod and Apple TV (via files purchased and downloaded at iTunes Store). To say that the show evolved in terms or creativity from season one to date is not really fair, because this was always a distinguishable characteristic of CSI since the very first episode. What happens now is that more technology is used to illustrate cases and special effects are more elaborated. So what changed is not the concept, but the way things are shown.

This is not a spoiler so I won't comment on every episode, but if I had to pick one to highlight, I'd choose "Loco Motives". That proves that CSI can also, sometimes, be a good comedy show. By the end of the episode, you will know what I'm talking about :-)

The rest of the story it is up for you to see. That's a box worth buying it, whether you already watched all or part of the episodes aired on TV or not. iTunes and Amazon Unbox downloads have the disadvantage of not providing the typical DVD bonus features (audio commentaries, deleted scenes and so on), not to mention that have a little inferior image quality than DVD has. Despite all that, having the DVD set by now is not very necessary in my case, but it might be just perfect for you. So go ahead, follow the evidence and enjoy it!
