CSI: Cyber

I am so disappointed in the production of CSI cyber. The constantly twitching camera angles are distracting. The slurred and mumbled speech make it hard to follow the plot. Someone confused suspense with technique. It is not working. Please, someone fix this so we can get into this spin off. The imitators of the original series need to watch the original CSI series again to correct technique.

The acting is good. Character selection and formula work. Staging O.K. Constant, and I do mean constant, use of computer parts to mark scene changes needs to be more thought out. Good T.V in CSI teaches something about the subject matter. All the hyped vocabulary, and explanation of it by characters, is not complete enough or even if it is, is not possible to follow because of all the camera angles and mumbling. So incredibly disappointed in production.

I was really looking forward to this show! I used to watch CSI and CSI:Miami. I stopped watching at some point, but always loved the shows and love forensic series in general. CSI: Cyber was combining two of my favorite genres/subjects.

The acting really was not very good at all. Most of the acting was so wooden and monotone...especially Patricia Arquette's. Even Peter MacNicol, who I loved in Numb3rs was not great. The only characters with personality and that I actually enjoyed were the 3 hacker characters (Charley Koontz, Hayley Kiyoko, and Shad Moss).

I didn't mind the dumbing down of the tech stuff like some of the other reviews. You have to be able to appeal to a wider audience than the geeks out there.

I really hope this gets better. I'll probably give it 2 more episodes.

So i've been watching this show since release, and i can agree with people saying that the first episode (the first 3 or 4 actually) was kinda bad, but now after a few more i'm starting to enjoy it more and more.

I personally think that episodes 5 - 8 was really good, especially episode 7. I think this show will turn out great if we just give it some time to develop.

Only thing that bugs me is that Avery, Elijah and Sifter doesn't really feel like they belong in a Cyber unit, but the rest of the crew is a very good fit.

Sure, it will never live up to the original CSI, but i don't think people should expect it to.

I'm sad. There are some great actors in this show, but if I didn't know them from other works I'd rate the acting as terrible. The writing is so incredibly bad that it makes even Patricia Arquette (who is usually lovely) look less than stellar. Poor dialog, plots that aren't fully fleshed out, and inaccuracies abound. I'm bummed. I tried 3 episodes, but I don't like the characters, the stories are sufficiently flawed to detract from my enjoyment, and I'm just done. I tend to rate pretty generously and that's reflected in my 5 star review. I must have seen some glimmer of possibility because I came back 2 more times. But that's all you're getting from me CSI: Cyber.

I write this in the assumption that someone connected with this series reads user reviews to get an idea of how their show is perceived.

One of the common problems with the CSI series (and, to be fair, many other shows) has always been that someone, somewhere feels that the audience has never seen (or heard) a computer work before, and so every action has to come with a "beep-boop-beep" sound effect. If I had to work with those computers all day, I would long ago have placed an empty plug in the headphone port, just to shut the bloody thing up! Now we have a show that should, from its title and premise, be a little more current about computers. But no, all of the scene cuts seem to be glitchy video transmissions, with static breaks and annoying pixellations. If I was watching this show as a streaming video, I would have thought my ISP needed a call to clear up my crappy connection, but no, I was watching on cable, and this was someone's poor idea of how to make the show look "Kewl". Well, this effect is about as outdated as the spelling of "Kewl".

Please, this is a show being sent to a 21st century audience, pretty well all of whom have computers and know how they look and sound. Give us some credit, and more realistic computers.
