TV Review: CSI:NY - "Forbidden Fruit"

Mac must work overtime after he gets multiple deaths on his plate.
CSI:NY hit its midpoint! Thank heavens. Since this show has been going pretty much nonstop from the time of the season premiere, reruns are a welcome break. I am fairly certain the next two weeks will be old episodes, only because the dates fall on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve. Even if there wasn't football either night, there is little...

This week the team must try and figure out who held up an armored car.
Family. If you ask ten people to define the term, each person will give you an different answer. For Det. Lindsay Monroe (Anna Belknap) and Det. Danny Messer (Carmine Giovinazzo), the traditional version applies. These two are about to become parents ("The Box").Any regular viewer of CSI:NY is not surprised by this turn of events. What...

Danny deals with a life-changing event.
Decisions. Some are good, others not so much. However, the result of either is the same. One has to live with consequences. For Det. Danny Messer (Carmine Giovinazzo), it's knowing he cheated on his girlfriend even though there may have been doubts at to whether they should have gotten together. Det. Lindsay Monroe (Anna Belknap) has a...

TV Review: CSI:NY - "My Name Is Mac Taylor"

Mac takes the case of a serial killer personally, and gets a new boss to boot.
What's in a name? Seriously. For some, it means one is part of a lineage. A "Jr." denotes a son who has the same forename as his father. Any further descendents with that forename would have Roman numerals afterwards, such as IV or XI should the forename be passed down that far. CSI:NY celebrated its one hundredth episode with a case...

Det. Angell must help out when Mac and his team have three homicides on their hands.
When do you stop following the world's rules and start making your own? This is not a stupid question. As Mac Taylor (Gary Sinise) or anyone else who works for him would say, "rules are often created with a good reason in mind." Even Det. Don Flack (Eddie Cahill), who hates to see a decent person fall off the ethics wagon,...

The team must get to the bottom of a case of mistaken identity.
Your life is what you make it. How many times has that been said? Genetics may have a lot to do with looks, but those are only a small part. Think about the movie The Pursuit of Happyness for a minute. A true story of a man who started out homeless, Chris Gardner decided one day things had to change. After all, he had a young son who depended on...

Mac and the team must find the killer of a corporate 'fixer.'
Being part of the crime lab investigation team puts one in a unique profession. More often than not, one is required to handle the death of someone as a result of another's intentional act. The reasons for the death may not always make sense. However, there does not need to be an answer. Even the courts don't always bother with...

Stella and the team race to find Mac after he was taken hostage.
When we last left Det. Mac Taylor (Gary Sinise), he entered a bank robbery at the request of the perp, Joe (Elias Koteas), to prove he was not responsible for the bank manager's death. Even though the hostages were released, Joe forced Mac to get into an SUV and drive. It took only seconds for Mac to realize he had been set up...
