Daniel D'Addario Chief TV CriticOne of the 21st century’s most venerable franchises is back. “CSI,” which in its first run lasted 15 seasons and generated three spinoffs, returns as “CSI: Vegas,” reuniting William Petersen and Jorja Fox.
The two actors, key players on the original series, are now old-timers, providing insight about science’s potential to solve crimes from the sidelines.
We’re informed in passing that original series lead Marg Helgenberger’s character has retired.Even without certain parts of old-school “CSI,” franchise fans are in good hands.
