JIG:
"Where CSI: NY really shines, however, is the cases themselves, which are frequently outrageous in the fine tradition of prime-time television. The writing is always at the very least proficient, and the snappy dialogue comes across as naturally as the medical jargon does. While some of the cases are stranger than others, and none of the mysteries are ever very challenging, each has a varied and well-defined cast of characters unique to it that helps carry you along even in the more cut-and-dry scenarios."
