Rating: 🔥 that’s hot

When retired detective Jim Brass is attacked in his home, the Vegas CSI team enlists the help of the legendary former CSI’s Sarah Sidle and Gil Grissom to solve the case. What they uncover is so much more than anyone expected, leading to the questioning of the validity of evidence used in many past cases that could lead to the release of thousands of incarcerated offenders. Is David Hodges really a dirty CSI like the evidence is telling us? Or is there a conspiracy afoot? It is up to the forensic team of Joshua, Allie and their fearless leader Maxine along with Sarah and Gil to follow the evidence and find the truth.

If you are a fan of the original CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, this sequel does not disappoint. The new team's dynamic is great on their own, but the addition of some of the OG’s appears to have led to a pretty seamless transition to a season 2 without them. As someone who is incredibly judgmental of reboots and sequels, CSI: Vegas nailed it. The quirky coroner Hugo is delightful, Max is a badass leader who both commands respect and allows her team to discover things on their own, and Allie and Joshua have a sexual tension that I am so excited to see play out in season 2. Watch now on the CBS app (with a cable provider or account) or Paramount+.
