Editorial
Amazon.co.uk Review

Now firmly established as the top-rated US drama, by its third year CSI: Crime Scene Investigation is a show positively glowing with confidence. Even when individual cases seem either too contrived or too easily resolved, the indefatigable night shift at the Las Vegas PD crime lab always look the part, solving conundrums and discovering microscopic damning evidence while, apparently, never shedding their own loose hair or skin cells all over the supposedly quarantined crime scenes. In reality, Catherine Willows' flowing blonde locks would contaminate any evidence she collected, but in the world of CSI only the bad guys leave body parts behind--the CSIs themselves are so good they're positively pristine.

The first 12 episodes of season 3 on this three-disc set present more deliciously bizarre situations for the problem-solving sleuths: cannibalism, snuff movies, dwarfs, death while drag racing, bodies falling from the sky, and various dismemberments all tax the team's acumen. These are all double or multiple-case episodes, though in a characteristic trick of the writing sometimes apparently unrelated murders turn out to be connected (or vice versa, as in "Blood Lust", where a road accident victim is not what he seems, and the death of the driver at the hands of an angry mob is made all the more tragic.) The mix of genuine forensic science with the glossiest Jerry Bruckheimer production values, plus the virtues of a good ensemble cast headed by William Peterson's modern-day Sherlock Holmes, remains as compelling as ever. --Mark Walker

CSI was one of those show's I'd heard of but never watched. Then that magazine came out and bought the first issue and watched the pilot episode and the following one. After that I was hooked. 2 weeks was too long to wait for the next episode so in a strange fit of confusion (desperation?) I bought the first part of Season 3 and proceeded to sit down and watch all the episodes over the course of a month.
Each episode is gripping developing the characters and story with startling pace. The characters are likeable, and Grissom is one of those characters who come along in a series once every decade: Mulder, Captain Picard, Gil Grissom.
This first part of the series is contains the first part of seaon three, but is lacking in the extras department. A couple of commentaries and some extra behind the scenes footage but that's it. I wish these TV series disks had more special features. As it stands though the series is fab and is worth buying for the great storytelling, excellent acting, forensic science and of course the likeable characters.

As an avid fan of CSI I was delighted when the third series became available.

It is easy watching and just the thing for a quiet night in.

Hey! Well I must admit, my review is biased as I love these series but it's honestly a fab set and I'd definately recommend it! Word of warning though, I wouldn't watch disc 3 while eating. I did and felt a bit sick as it got a little grusome!
Any ideas on when the second series 3 discs are out?

The start of season three isn't disappointing, with all the characters in fine form. Included in this DVD is possibly the best episode so far "The Accused is Entitled" which involves all the cast and concludes in the courtroom - a place we don't often get to see. The other cases range from a hanged dwarf to the search for a body when an eyeball is found. Other highlights(if you're that way inclined) include cannibalistic cheerleaders and bodies in meat grinders. With the usual mix of science and gore a must for any CSI fan.

CSI: Season 3, Part 1
Review date: 2004-02-29 Rating: 10 out of 10

Finally the chance to see Season 3 all over again, and part one contains some of the best episodes from this, the very best crime drama in the world! Not only do these episodes maintain the same recipe of cutting-edge forensic science, glamourous locations and exciting cases we know from Seasons 1 and 2, they also give the characters and the world of CSI more depth, looking at the controversial question of Capital punishment, and the dangers of Boxing and Drag Racing, as well as exploring Sara's unresolved feelings for Grissom. The cast once again give a fantastic and realistic preformance, making CSI the huge success that it deserves to be.
