CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (2000)
Two things you need to know about C.S.I.
One: your screen will be filled with beautiful effects and colours. These do nothing for the story, but they will keep your lazy eyes occupied for some 50 minutes. A good example is the eternal use of a computer screen that shows each fingerprint from the database as that print is compared with the one they want to find out about. Yeah, right.
Two: these guys being like real professional Pros, they will engage each other in intriguing Pro talk: "Look, Grissom, these are what we call fingerprints. Everybody has them, and they are different on each person. So, with these fingerprints we can actually find...".
Yup! Exactly like real pros would talk to each other if there wasn't a completely uninformed and stupid audience around.
However, not everything about this show is bad. Some stories work to some degree, and the colours _are_ really beautiful. They use red, blue, green, yellow... all of them colours I've loved since kindergarten.
Monk: Mr. Monk and the Panic Room (2004)
Great for the kids
What started as a moderately entertaining show in episode 1 of season 1, quickly became overplayed, over-simplistic and generally childish, as effectively shown by this episode.
Watch how the captain behaves while interviewing the main suspect! Or the lieutenant moving about in the house: mimicking a red beret in a terrorist situation, with his gun pointing upwards. This is not funny - this is laughable. The simplicity of the story adds to the general impression that this in reality is Benji with humans. But Benji was better.
For kids only.
