C.S.I.: Crime Scene Investigation: Complete Seventh Season DVD Review (2007)

Arguably, the series’ best season, with the miniature killer on the loose (thankfully, that isn’t as corny as it sounds) and, at season’s end, one key character’s life hanging in the balance.

William Peterson, Marg Helgenberger and Jorja Fox return, with Liev Schreiber showing up in a supporting role as a questionable new cop on the scene (he's excellent).

All make for a fine cast, with the storylines digging into the grisly aspects of investigative work in ways that reveal character through action, not exposition.

This is a good reason why each show feels greased with drama, horror and, in some cases, wry humor and the tug of romance. Highlights include the episodes "Leaving Las Vegas," "The Good, The Bad and The Dominatrix," and "Empty Eyes," in which six Vegas showgirls are snuffed before their time.

Their show might be over, but this show, on the other hand, nicely goes on.

Grade: B+
