CSI: NY (TV Series) Redemption (2010) User Reviews

Excellent, Tense Drama

[ccthemovieman-1 · 10/10 · 4 June 2011]

This was an extremely tense episode as Dr. Sheldon Hawkes (Hill Harper) finds himself inside a jail in the middle of full-scale riot!

The story involves a man about to be executed, a guard being murdered seconds before the lethal injection, Hawkes finding out this condemned man killed his sister 10 years ago, and then that man saving Hawkes' life during the riot! Yeah, this is a wild story start-to-finish.

To make it even more dramatic, who's in the middle of all of this? "Shane Casey" (Edward Furlong), the serial killer who continues to haunt the CSI squad, even when he's in jail.

Good stuff - this hour-long show flies by.

Lying in wait, ready to pounce.

The last episode with writing from Peter Lenkov. 0nce Lenkov was no longer involved in the day to day on this show, it was ripe for the plucking. CBS knew they were unable to carry out their sabotage while he was still around. Pam Veasey was a wuss, she had no spine, no steel in combating CBS when they made Melina Kanakaredes the victim of their corporate gang-rape. Lenkov was the sheriff, the law and the only stopgap the show had. That covers the network politics, but onto the episode Itself.

A mini-Bruckheimer movie, action packed adventure ride. Harold Perrineau as Reggie Tiford went thru an evolution and Hill Harper hit you in the gut at the end when Hawkes visited his sister's grave. I understand Lenkov had to make HAWAII 5-0 his priority, but had he never left this show, CBS would not have been able to destroy it. This week would have been the period paying host to this show's 300th episode. SCREAM by 0zzy 0sbourne was the perfect musical backdrop. This episode captures a moment in time when CSI:NEW YORK was at Its best. 0nce Season 6 was done, so was the show. From Kanakaredes Konsistency to being Warded off by Sela. Disgraceful the turn the show took 6 years ago. Shame on CBS.

Good Not Great Episode

Other some usual great writing there lies the unusual bad writing. There were some parts which could've been done better. What cop is going to run after a suspect in a prison full of prisoners? Then runs widely into the lounge area that is set unusually close to the execution chamber much less a prison cell door control console. Come on, that's stupidity. I hope they fired the writers. It's not the first time they've screwed up. As in other LE shows there's the usual 'Go talk to potential or the suspect' and what's the first thing they shouldn't do, but still do? They call out or spook the suspect long before they're within reach so a chase ensues. Geesh, so what else could go wrong? Stay tuned our next episode.
