I'll reserve my rating for now. As far as the pilot.... I've got mixed feelings.
I am a huge fan of the original CSI. I never watch reboots. I watched CSI: Vegas because some of the original cast was involved. Right now, that's the only reason I'm continuing to watch. Smart way to reboot the series.
I am not loving the new cast. They seem disconnected from each other and the legendary nature of the original groundbreaking series. I'm giving them a chance because of the old cast being there. (FYI.. I truly despise the coroner, and his presence would be enough to make me quit watching. He's no Robbins.) I'm not loving the way this was filmed. A LOT of jumping around and weird shifting of scenes. It lacked the flow I enjoyed during the original. I found it hard to find any connection to the story and new characters because we didn't get enough time with anyone or anything that was happening.
Best thing at the beginning...Captain Brass. That man is a treasure. Best thing at the end...Grissom. One of the best characters ever written and brilliantly portrayed by Peterson. Peterson's one line gave me old school vibes and hope for this reboot.
TBC....
