La original fórmula de la serie y su éxito suscitó dos secuelas, CSI: Miami (2002-2012) y CSI: Nueva York (2004-2013), en torno a los equipos de científicos forenses de dichas ciudades, pero además influye en varias series posteriores relacionadas con la investigación criminal, como Bones o NCIS entre otras.
"CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," launched in 2000 by Alliance Atlantis and CBS Productions, revolutionized the crime drama genre with its gritty portrayal of forensic science and meticulous attention to detail. Set in Las Vegas, the series follows a dedicated team of crime scene investigators as they unravel the mysteries behind heinous crimes, using cutting-edge technology and forensic techniques. Led by the stoic and brilliant Gil Grissom, portrayed by William Petersen, the team navigates the complexities of criminal investigations while confronting their own personal demons, creating a compelling narrative that captivated audiences worldwide. The show's success lies not only in its engaging storylines but also in its commitment to realism. "CSI" employed real forensic experts as consultants to ensure the accuracy of its procedures, which in turn educated viewers about the intricacies of crime scene investigation. This blend of entertainment and education helped spawn a franchise that included multiple spin-offs and inspired a new wave of crime dramas focused on forensic science. The series also broke new ground with its use of innovative visual techniques, such as the famous "CSI shot," which provided viewers with a detailed, often microscopic, view of evidence. Beyond its technical prowess, "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" delved deep into the psychological and emotional lives of its characters. The show masterfully balanced the procedural elements with character-driven arcs, allowing viewers to form strong connections with the investigators. From Sara Sidle's (Jorja Fox) struggles with past trauma to Warrick Brown's (Gary Dourdan) battle with addiction, the series humanized its characters, making their triumphs and failures resonate with audiences. This emotional depth, combined with the show's thrilling cases, ensured that "CSI" remained a staple of television for over fifteen years. "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" not only set a new standard for crime dramas but also left an indelible mark on popular culture. Its influence extended beyond television, impacting how forensic science is perceived and even affecting courtroom proceedings, a phenomenon known as the "CSI effect." With its compelling blend of science, drama, and character development, "CSI" remains a landmark series that continues to be celebrated for its groundbreaking approach to storytelling and its lasting impact on the genre.
