    This show is becoming annoying

    So incredibly predictable! I'm no detective or forensic scientist but I can predict how these episodes will end. It's annoying. There's a formula the show follows and it's so easy to spot. It's like the writers cater to only idiots. CSI Vegas was for smart people. CSI NY is for dummies.

    There's also so much the police could do to advise the public about the cabbie serial killer. Here is my PSA...they know how the killer traps and kills them. TELL THEM THAT! 1. If you get locked in the backseat, USE YOUR CELLPHONE! 2. Don't get into cabs with a partition. 3. Kick out the windows!! 4. Before getting in the cab, send pics of the driver, license plate and ID. ETC!

    The stupidity of the characters created by the writers is painful to watch.

    • Trivia
      The song playing while the cheerleaders are giving lip prints is "Kiss Kiss" by Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
    • Goofs
      When the paramedics try to shock the victim on the basketball court, they apply the paddles while his shirt is still on. For the treatment to do any good, the paddles must be applied directly to the skin. Furthermore, using a defibrillator on cloth could cause fire and burning.
    • Quotes

      Detective Don Flack: Hell of a game, Mess.

      Detective Danny Messer: Yeah. Glad you could make it.

      Detective Don Flack: Me too. You should piss Lindsay off more often.
