The New CSI and the Artist

[claudio_carvalho · 8/10 · 1 April 2023]

When a woman is found dead standing against a lamp post as if she were talking to in the cell phone, Grissom, Catherine and David Phillips believe initially that she might have been electrocuted when she touched the post, but they do not find any evidence. Later, they find another body of a man as if he were working out on a bench at a bus stop. When they find a third victim dressed like a businessman, the realize that they are looking for a serial-killer that believes he is an artist.

"Art Imitates Life" is another great episode of "CSI", where a new CSI, Riley Adams, is introduced in the series, after the loss of Warrick Brown. This time, the criminal is a deranged artist that like of use dead bodies to imitate life. The case is well-resolved, as usual, and the new CSI seems to be competent. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "Art Imitates Life"

Statuesque

[Hitchcoc · 7/10 · 23 February 2021]

This is a "get to the victim in the nick of time" episode. People are being found in poses, their bodies stiff, as if alive. It turns out the CSI's need to invade the art world when they realize it is an artist that is managing this. Jeffery Tambor plays a nutty artist who lives in his own world. Alex Kingston is a psychiatrist who comes in to do damage control after Warrick's death. Grissom is beginning to make mistakes and he is very concerned.

Poor man's CSI

They solve the entire case using a computer and doing a number of Google searches. This is one episodes where no actual CSI work was done, no finger prints, no DNA, no evidence analysis, just a bunch of Google searches and everything just falls in place by pure luck. I would have expected this case to be a lot more complicated like the miniature houses case which spanned multiple episodes.
