The fellows responsible for Under the Microscope, a behind-the-scenes video blog accompanying nearly every installment of CSI: NY, make some big promises about this, the 22-episode (on six discs) seventh season of the series. What can we expect? "Awesome guest stars" (like Edward James Olmos, Peter Fonda… and New York Jets football coach Rex Ryan?). "Sweet stunts." "Great mysteries." And, of course, "some really gnarly, gross dead bodies." And that's not even including CSI's other trademarks, like the sleek, slick production values, the flashy camera moves, the state-of-the-art forensic work (no other franchise comes close to the kind of graphic but glossy detail that's on display here every week, replete with pulsing techno soundtrack), the beautiful, chic young people living large and doing very bad things, and the ineffable, overall coolness. Quite simply, this show delivers. And if CSI: NY is quite often a triumph of style over substance, it hardly matters when the style is this strong.

The show undergoes a few changes this time around, principally the addition of Sela Ward as Det. Jo Danville, a former FBI agent who arrives with a sense of humor, an ex-husband, two kids, and a smidgen of sexual chemistry with team leader Mac Taylor (Gary Sinise), whose commitment to the job seems to waver after an especially harrowing final few episodes. But for the most part, the more things change, the more they stay the same, as the team confronts a variety of grisly murders committed with such weapons of destruction as bombs, a crowbar, bullets containing nitroglycerin, and more. Particularly compelling are episodes about a young woman who appears to have been scared to death ("Scared Stiff," which has some genuinely frightening moments that may or may not involve actual ghosts) and a two-parter about an ex-con with a serious grudge against Mac and his former partner (played by Fonda). --Sam Graham

5.0 out of 5 stars Still New York's Finest... May 26, 2011

By D. S. Thurlow TOP 50 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

Format:DVD

"CSI: NY" carries its fascinating combination of detective and forensic police work into its seventh season in the Big Apple. Gary Sinese continues to lead a close-knit cast as tough former Marine and current NYPD Detective Mac Taylor. "CSI: NY", a spin-off of the original "CSI" and "CSI: Miami", offers weekly drama built around the solving of some of the unique crimes possible in the rich ethnic and cultural mix of New York City.

An addition to the cast this season is Sela Ward as Mac's new second in command, Detective Jo Danville, a transfer from Washington DC who arrives with Southern grace, good detective skills, and a proprietary interest in Mac Taylor. Danville's ex-husband, an FBI agent played by David James Elliot, figures in several storylines, as do her two children.

One of the highlights of this season is a three episode arc at the end, which reunits Mac Taylor with his first mentor on the police force, now retired (and well played by a grizzled Peter Fonda). A case from early in Mac's career comes back to haunt him, for reasons that only his former mentor can explain, if they can live long enough to have the discussion. The season finale has Mac questioning his tenure with the NYPD after facing death at close range perhaps once too often. Mac will tackle his last unsolved case, not knowing whether it will be his last as an NYPD detective.

"CSI: NY - The Seventh Season" is highly recommended to its fans. As of 17 May, 2011, "CSI: NY" had been renewed for an eighth season.

4.0 out of 5 stars CSI New York: a turning point December 24, 2011

Prior to buying this season, I read a comment stating this was a "touchy-feely" season. It was just about spot on. I did not know that Melina Kanakaredes (Stella
Bomasera) left the series/transfered to New Orleans. And after the final episode, it may be it for Gary Sinise (Mac Taylor). I do like the addition of Sela Ward as the ex-FBI agent, she brings a new dimension to the team, but the season lacked the punch of the other six. You might not see Carmine Giovinazzo(Danny Messner) who just got promoted. We will just have to see won't we..

5.0 out of 5 stars Best CSI Ever! July 5, 2011

I like the shows of all the seasons of CSI:NY better then all the other CSI shows that they have made. They put together a wonderful cast, and it does keep you in your seat wondering what will happen next. I have seasons 1-6 and am waiting to get season 7, and am very glad that it was picked-up for a 8th season; They can't leave people hanging, not knowing what is going to happen next.
