This is addictive!

This series is so good that you don't want to stop watching. Since I got Season Two, I have been finding reasons to be near the TV, so I could watch just one more episode while doing something else (multitasking)

Season Two has a lot of the popular episodes, all of which can be watched more than once. The decomp in the bag, the one where they team up with CSI Miami, the tragic model, the body farm, and of course the scuba diver in the tree.

Waiting anxiously for Season Three to be released

After the incredibly innovative first season, expectations for season II are understandably high. No disappointments here. Storylines get stronger, character nuances become second nature to the actors and we begin to feel an affinity for the characters. I'm still amazed by the excellent casting for CSI (especially in contrast to the horrible acting on CSI Miami - it's a good thing we at least now have Navy CIS to tide us over) which lends itself to some nice character development.

The DVD is an improvement over the first:

Pluses
1. 16:9 Anamorphic widescreen (finally)
2. More features than the first DVD

Minuses
1. Still no subtitles (it says closed caption - still haven't found it) again an incredible irony given the lead character's diminished hearing
2. Annoyingly slow main menu (zoom - it's a room! zoom - it's a computer! Jeez - all I want to do is get to the episode selections)

Still it's a must have for any CSI fan. Somehow the writers always find a way to keep the storylines fresh.

5 stars for the show. 4 stars for the DVD.

I'm going to say what everyone that wrote a review about this TV show has said, CSI IS THE BEST SHOW ON TV!!!!! There is like nothing wrong with the show at all. The characters are just awsome (especially Nick and Sara) and the cases are wicked. My favorite from 2nd season is probably 'Bully For You" because of the case with Nick and Sara and the dead body in the bag and how sick they got with it. I love how this show shows a case and then has something personal for the characters like Nick when he said something that his babysitter did to him when he was little and Sara when she met EMT Hank for the first time. All the actors on this show make their characters so believable that it doesn't feel like you're watching a TV show and that you know them personally. My whole family and i love this show so much and we watch it together. My brother and I watch about two discs a day it's so much fun!!! If you want to buy any season of CSI buy this one it's the best.

The second season does not drop off from the first great season of this wonderful show. Episode 213 "Identity Crisses" is by far the best episode yet. Great plots and interesting cases.

I love this show! It's intelligent, totally absorbing, shocking, surreal and draws you into the plot from the opening credits. I love the characters and have especially enjoyed watching them develop over time. I think it's the best show on TV right now and never miss an episode. Okay, so we all know that the show uses 'entertainment licence' to go beyond the science available today, but at least it portrays a realistic direction it will take. If it's great entertainment you're after that packs a punch, don't go past these boxed sets. I bought all three seasons and eagerly await the next.

If you are the type of person who loves suspense, thrills, drama, and are the one who likes to figure out "who done it" this is the show for you. If you've seen CSI season one, you have got to get season two. I am the proud owner of all three seasons of CSI. The first season was great, the second was awesome, as for the third.......well take a guess, a definite 5 stars, heck if I could I'd combine them all together and give the entire set (1st, 2nd, and 3rd seasons) 15 stars, heck I'll add an additional 5 stars to make it an even 20 when I get CSI season four.

CSI does it again! After an awesome first season CSI moves on to season 2. The characters are all the same this season as the last one.

That's all this DVD set offers to you for the price. What more can you ask for?? I HIGHLY recommend this DVD and I'll say it again...If you love CSI as much as I do, go get it! You won't be disappointed!

C.S.I. started slowly, working it's way up to excellence. For years now it has been the top rated show in the U.S. or among those. C.S.I. season two is great, but I would recommend season three more. Why? Not that season two is bad, because it is still great, but season three gives stronger shows, better plots, and more in depth character analysis.

C.S.I. season two shows more of Nick Stokes (George Eads), which I'm not sure why. Season three shows his personality to be a watered down yes man to Grissom or Warrick (depending on the day). The characters of Dr. Al Robbins (Hall), and Greg Sanders (Eric Sezmanda) become stronger. Over all, great episodes abound in both of them. Season two is better then season one. It's a natural progression for an excellent crime series on par with the "Dragnet" or "Adam-12" of the past. The character of Gil Grissom could very easily be compared to Joe Friday from Dragnet.

Pick up season one first if you are going to buy this and haven't watched the shows before to get your bearings on the season. If you have watched it on TV, go to season 3.

Living and working overseas the last few years, I missed CSI on primetime. My sister sent me a couple of tapes...I was hooked! My fiance and I finished the first year in a matter of days. We were so excited when the second season came out. We tried to spread out the viewings to make them last. The storylines and character interactions are almost always great...only a very very few episodes could have used a little more. Season two was great. We're eagerly awaiting year three and hope it's as entertaining as the first two seasons.

This is the best! I've only seen like two episodes, and already i'm addicted! This is a deffinite on any collector's list of DVDs.
