Crime Scene Investigators

I don't usually write reviews, but "Crime Scene Investigators" (2025) was such a colossal disappointment that I felt compelled to warn others.

From the very first episode, it's clear the show is trying to ride the coattails of more successful crime dramas, but with none of the intelligence, suspense, or character depth. The writing is laughably bad-filled with clichés, nonsensical plot twists, and dialogue that feels like it was generated by a malfunctioning AI. Characters are cardboard cutouts with no development, and somehow every scene manages to feel both overacted and under-directed.

Even the crime scenes, which are supposed to be the show's hook, are dull, predictable, and lack any real tension or intrigue. The pacing is awful. Either it drags on forever or jumps wildly without context. It honestly feels like the creators never consulted a single real investigator or writer with basic storytelling skills.

I kept watching a few more episodes hoping it would get better-it didn't. If anything, it got worse.

"Crime Scene Investigators" is an insult to the genre. Avoid it unless you enjoy wasting time or need something to fall asleep to.

What a disappointment.

Can somebody explain this kind of 'producing' to me?

Some people narrating re enactments, with minimal original footage .. I mean come on.

Why in the hell are they serving cases that had been covered 46 times already - from all sides?

Are you really expecting a growing or loyal audience by reheating old stuff and arranging it with blurry stock footage?

True crime channels on youtube are doing a better job.

I watched all episodes so far, I knew all the cases and none of them contributed to anything. No new information, nothing to see, nothing to learn.... just a time filler for the comatose.

Why are you doing that? & Is it really profitable?

If you really have to take cases that have been done to death, how about doing exceptional deep-dives?
