Have watched 1st 6 episodes with high anticipation not having watched the original for quite a few years.
1st thoughts.... what is missing with this show? Characters don't feel right, script and dialogue don't feel right. Even returning Grissom and Sara seem off.
So I went back and started rewatching the original show. Oh, the original is so much better and for a show 21 years old it is so good and holds up so well.
Acting, script, filming style is just all so much better than new show.
Even though I was never fond of all the characters except for Grissom and Willows (Nick, Sara and Warrick never truly engaged me - especially Warrick and Sara) the dynamics all work brilliantly.
So getting back to new version, Grissom seems a parody of the old Grissom (and I am truly a fan of Peterson). The others just don't have the same chemistry with their interactions.
Verdict: maybe it will grow on me but I'm having much more enjoyment rewatching 1st 12 episodes of Season One.
