CSI - Fiction or Reality?

Some of the experiments are real but some of the equipment is made up. Some of the matching progams look fake,they can get a match for almost anything(not talking about fingerprints).You can usually tell if something looks fake.

I think CSI is awsome! Of course it is probably mostly fiction, but I think criminal technicians actually use many of the methods in real life too. Also many of the plots have inspiration from real life. Anyway - fiction or not, it is entertaining!

I like CSI a lot too, but I've heard that a lot of what they do on there can't really be done. It's based on reality, but the embelish it to make better tv.

it all seems too fantastic to be real but then we never really know what goes on during murder investigations do we? and the analysis of the detectives on CSI always seems so logical...

The cases and characters are fictional but the methods, equipment and the agency/personnels are real. CSI Las Vegas is a classic example of how Forensics gather hard evidence enough to convict a criminal.

I think the stories are fiction. I also think that a lot of the science is not fictional. The dna test for example is very real. I think that CSI is finding a way to mix a good story with a bit of facts. I have seen many cases solved because of a test that I recently saw on the show.

dunno..............havent seen that serial!!!!!!

I don't think that they really have such sophisticated equipment as is shown on these shows. It would be great if they did because many more crimes would be solved, but it is highly unlikely. I really don't know if there is really such equipment out there, although it is really interesting to watch.
