Beginning with a spectacular murder at the Statue of Liberty and ending with an unusual plea from a bank robber, the fourth season of CSI: NY moves along at a quick, exciting pace that belies its almost 15-hour run time. Spread over six discs, all 21 episodes--which originally were televised during the 2007-2008 season--are included. Led by head CSI Mac Taylor (Gary Sinise), the core group of Stella Bonasera (Melina Kanakaredes), Lindsay Monroe (Anna Belknap), Danny Messer (Carmine Giovinazzo), Detective Don Flack (Eddie Cahill), and Dr. Sheldon Hawkes (Hill Harper) returns to solve compelling and often ghastly crimes. Sticking true to the format of the popular CSI franchise, a crime is committed, the viewer is left to guess whodunit, and then Mac and his team come in to tell us what really happened. Sometimes the plots aren't that difficult to figure out. But in many instances--such as watching a horrifying stalker's obsession with Mac build throughout the season--the viewer is left almost as unsettled as the victims. One of the most powerful episodes of the season centers around Stella, who comes to the realization that her neighbor may have harbored (or kidnapped) a missing child. Kanakaredes succinctly captures the complex nuances of what it might feel like to wonder if you could have helped someone who lived right next door. If being completely honest, an objective viewer might admit that CSI: NY isn't wholly unique in terms of story arcs. However, Sinise is a compelling leading man who shares strong chemistry with the rest of the cast. Even when dealing with a convoluted storyline centering around his deceased wife's son, he makes it work. And when Danny goes through some personal turmoil, viewers sense that he will be OK, because he has his colleagues' support. The season finale falls a little flat, but it does offer a cliffhanger-style ending sure to entice viewers to tune in to the fifth season. --Jae-Ha Kim
CSI: NY - The Fourth Season Reviews
| 4 of 5 people found the following review helpful:  A good run, By This review is from: CSI: NY - The Fourth Season (DVD) This iteration of CSI NY is gripping, in part because of the use of several plots that run throughout several episodes of the season. The Taxicab Killer is one and a very good one too. Not so great, in my opinion, was the subplot about the forensic tech and the aftermath of a shooting and how it affects his personal life. It just seemed like it was starting to get too much like a soap opera. More great writing made these programs first-class. So far these episodes have never disappointed me. 6 of 8 people found the following review helpful:  The Best Show, By CHRISTIAN BAUTISTA (Melbourne, Australia) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: CSI: NY - The Fourth Season (DVD) CSI New York: The Fourth Season is my favorite show except for the writers strike that made only 21 episodes this year but, it is sill the best season of all. 2 of 3 people found the following review helpful: The series CONTINUES to be great, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: CSI: NY - The Fourth Season (DVD) I have really enjoyed all the seasons of this CSI break off. It has become a total unique show in and of itself. Each year, the science becomes more amazing, the characters so unique and believable, and the episodes still "edge-of-your-seat"-ers. The relationship between the characters is continually developing and interesting. Gary Sinise is so soft-spoken, yet tough, and encourages a comfortable relationship among the cast. I have watched many various CSI dramas, and this one is still staying fresh and exciting. |
