CSI: Interesting??

I'm not studying forensic science but I do find it very fascinating. I was wondering if you might post your opinion about something. Does CSI do a good job at accurately representing forensic science? In what ways do they do this well and in what ways do they fail? Thanks.

I love forensics. I am planning on getting a degree in forensics with my main focus on crime scene investigation. I also have about 50 books on forensics and true crime. I love the CSI shows but they blow everything way out of proportion. I wish every crime could be solved within days instead of months or years.

How very interesting! Are you taking classes at a local school? You must fill us in on the details. I have a lot of admiration for those that can do that tiny little picky work ~Donna

Wow your so COOL!!! i wish i could take the course too because watching CSI made it interesting for me! and i hate watching it with my boyfriend because all i hear from him is complain! hate him! Good luck and help solve those crimes!!!!

I love the csi shows! I think that must be one of the more rewarding jobs out there today (Forensic Science I mean). How could we survive without people like you helping to solve the crimes. I think it's absolutely fascinating the different techniques they use on tv...although I do realize it is tv and I'm sure it dramatized but still and all, I think it would make a great career. One in which you could feel you were doing some good for society. Best of luck in your studies.

I'm a big fan of CSI too, though I really mis Grisom...Where the heck is he? Anyway I really find the movie informative, and wanting I notice though mostly the people who commit the crime are those closest to the victim...it could be the mother,father,brother,sister,boyfriend,girlfriend, bestfriend or those people you will never really thought that could so such thing...well except those serial killings stuffs...those ofcourse are made of the professionals.I really love CSI, I actually keep notes of those things that they say so when I decided to end someone's life I know exaclty what to do so I can get away from it....hahahahah(Evil laugh)...lol

Actually what's really interesting is the analysis based the evidence using Forensic Science. Gil Grissom is the best in terms of analysis because of his very thorough on his observations.

I do enjoy watching CSI too. I read an interview with a Filipino-American forensic expert in a local magazine. She says it was pretty boring. She spends most her time in the laboratory analyzing evidence. She added that though she loves her job, it was not as exciting as watching it in the series in the long haul. Good luck on you studies, though.

Yes i think Forensic Science is a really great thing. You uncover remnants of the past and put them together drawing a conclusion. I am a fan, but don't think it will work for me as a career of study. I just might pass out. Hehe. But i do love watching CSI, very interesting and informative. :)

I've always found forensic science interesting and in the past thought about pursuing it myself, but I couldn't get through the science of it. I like science, but I don't want to use it all the time. I think though that if forensic science was more like what CSI shows it would be very fun to do. But like others have said, it is a lot more boring in real life or so I've heard. They don't get to solve the crimes, they just analyze what they are given.

i am planning on taking the course myself but being realistic. forensic science is hyped up by the show. i think overall forensic science is an awesome career. but i don't think what happens on the show happens in real life.
