"CSI:
Cyber" review by Suzanne
3/22/15
Airs Wednesdays 10/9c on CBS
If this show starred a bunch of nobodies, it would still
be a really good show. The writing is very good. Not only
are the stories interesting, but the characters are very
well defined. The actors, of course, help make the
characters interesting.
The show is about a crime unit that deals with
cyber-related crimes. I don't know why it really has
anything to do with CSI, per se, but it still works. If
you're a regular viewer of "CSI" (the one set in Las Vegas),
you recall that last year, star Patricia Arquette appeared
on an episode to introduce us to the character of Avery and
to the concept of the show.
Unless you've been living in a cave, you know that
Patricia Arquette starred in the film "Boyhood" and won many
awards for that, including the Supporting Actress Oscar.
I'm sure CBS must be very glad about that! She's always been
a great actress. We all loved her in "Medium" a few years
back. The whole cast is great, though. James Van Der
Beek (Most known for starring in "Dawson's Creek") plays her
lead investigator, Elijah Mundo. Peter MacNicol, who's
been awesome in SO many great movies and shows, plays the
supervisor Sifter. Actor/singer Shad Moss (known as "BowWow")
plays Brody, a former hacker.
It's definitely worth watching if you like good drama and
action.
MORE INFORMATION:
CSI: CYBER
CSI: CYBER stars Academy Award, Emmy
Award and Golden Globe Award winner Patricia Arquette in
a drama inspired by the advanced technological work of
real-life Cyber Psychologist Mary Aiken. Special Agent
Avery Ryan heads the Cyber Crime Division of the FBI, a
unit at the forefront of solving illegal activities that
start in the mind, live online, and play out in the real
world. She also knows firsthand how today’s technology
allows people to hide in the shadows of the Internet and
commit serious crimes of global proportion. Ryan’s
supervisor, Assistant Director Simon Sifter, is a shrewd
FBI career insider and the clearing house between FBI
Cyber and all other branches of government. Also on the
team are FBI Agent Elijah Mundo, a self-proclaimed
action junkie who is an expert in battlefield forensics;
Daniel Krumitz, an introverted tech genius with a quick
wit; Brody Nelson, an expat hacker who chose to work for
the FBI over a life of cyber-crime; and Raven Ramirez, a
rookie tech who is an expert in social media, cyber
trends and international relations. While other agents
search for criminals in dark homes and alleys, Ryan and
her team search the “dark net,” a place deep in the
bowels of the Web where criminals are anonymous, money
is untraceable and where everything is for sale with
just a keystroke.
Premieres Wednesday, March 4, 2015 on the
CBS Television Network.
