[[Spin-Off]] from ''[[CSI: Miami]]'' itself [[Spin-Off|spun]] from ''[[CSI]]'' (2004- present) set in [[New York City]]. The show's [[Character Development|character work]] is probably its strongest aspect, with multi-season arcs for several of the characters, particularly Mac, Danny, and Lindsay. The cast is full of [[Dysfunction Junction|slightly messed up]] characters, all the way from Mac down to Adam. In fact, the coroner is probably the most well-adjusted person in the lab. In general this is handled well and doesn't devolve into [[Wangst]] territory.▼

Line 176 ⟶ 172:
* [[Rear Window Witness]]: "Point of View" pays homage to the ''[[Rear Window]]'' where Mac Taylor is severely injured during the pursuit of a suspect and is confined to his apartment, observing the neighbors. Mac witnesses a shady deal similar to L.B. Jeffries and his suspicion of his murderous neighbor.
* [[Remember That You Trust Me]]: Mac is ''horrible'' about letting people in, even Stella, his closest friend. This has come back to bite him in the ass more than once, including being a huge factor in the failure of his relationship with Peyton, and the huge disaster that resulted after he was implicated in a murder (see [[Taking You with Me]]). Stella calls him on it in the season six premier, when he's obsessing over {{spoiler|trying to figure out who opened fire on the team at the end of season five}} and acting as if he's the only one on the case. It does seem though that he's improving a bit by the time Christine starts romancing him.
* [[Rise
* [[Room Full of Crazy]]: "Jamalot", "The Ride In". Mac turns his office into one while trying to figure out who's behind the shooting that happened at the end of season 5.
* [[Run for the Border]]: Season Five premiere had the perp try to escape to Canada before Mac caught up with him. Needless to say, he failed.
Line 210 ⟶ 206:
* [[Team Dad]]: Mostly Mac to Hawkes, including letting Hawkes stay at his place when Hawkes lost all his money to an insurance scam. Mac to Danny at times too.
* [[Ten-Minute Retirement]]: Mac's retirement at the beginning of season eight. Danny's promotion to police sergeant (and thus away from the crime lab) also only lasts four episodes before he voluntarily demotes himself and goes back to being a detective.
* [[Thanatos Gambit]]: {{spoiler|Aidan}} manages to make
* [[Unnaturally Blue Lighting]]: first season, even worse than usual.
* [[Viewers are Morons]]: Everything, and I mean, EVERYTHING has to be explained to the viewer, especially during the autopsy scenes. While this is normal for a show about forensic science, the writers like to go a little to far to explain stuff that's common sense to even the average, non-CSI viewer.
* [[Workout Fanservice]]: The "My Name Is Mac Taylor episode has a scene were Mac is doing his lap swim exercise.
* [[Written-In Absence]]: Lindsay was written out for a few episodes during Season 3, so Anna Belknap could go on maternity leave.
** Done again in Season 5, where Lindsay ended up pregnant with Danny's baby.
