Hopefully no UK channel will EVER acquire this. This is one of the worst TV shows ever produced and it may permanently damage US/UK relations to unleash this on The Great British Public.

EDIT - Whoops. Channel 5 got it. Morons!

    That good eh ? :)

    I've always got a soft spot for the CSI franchise, so i'm certainly going to give it a look at some point.

    I'm not even slightly interested in the premise of this show, so won't be watching despite being a long term fan of the other CSI shows.

    Take how bad you THINK it could be and multiply that by 100.

    You mean it is even worse than NCIS New Orleans?
    It must be truly terrible if so!!

    Kromm what is bad about it? I saw the intro episode to it on CSI Vegas and thought it dreadful, cheesy and unrealistic so that's what I imagine but I will give it a go anyway.

    Just like every other TV show I'll watch it and make my own mind up, thanks :)

    Me too, in fact so much so I have been dying to make my own film based on the franchise for ages but my plans keep falling apart big time. :(

    Well I think the CSI franchise is on its last legs.

    The show is atrocious.

    I watched the first episode and it was awful but I thought that I would give it another chance. I started watching the 2nd episode and gave up half way through.

    I'll stick with original CSI.

    The first episode is a story of a criminal hacking baby monitors of all things so they can kidnap the child and sell them on the black market.

    Then there is the dialogue that Patricia Arquette is forced to deliver which is excruciating to watch.

    I think the fact that no decision has been made on Vegas yet is quite telling. Ted Danson has even accepted a role in the second season of Fargo as well, so it's certainly possible he's had an indication that it won't be renewed.

    Well when I mentioned about Ted Danson elsewhere, being an indicator of CSI continuing it got a bit ignored, so I wasn't going to bring that up.

    It's just a nightmarish melange of cliches, bad acting (yes, even from the recent Oscar winner), the kind of understand of technology a 2 year old might have, and a constant total disregard of logic, good storytelling, physics, and even common sense, at all times.

    It's insulting to the intelligence of the viewers in every way possible.

    Just watched a few episodes.

    Not bad. Has the typical cliches and predictability you expect from a crime drama. But is it the type of show i am willing to want to watch each week, likely not. It's the type of show I watch late at night when I am flicking through the channels for something to watch. I am not normally engrossed in what is happening, i am just watching it to pass time and help me sleep.

    So for that reason, it's a pass for me.

    I watched the first episode, and thought it was pretty poor and wasn't something that I'd want to watch every week. I haven't seen any others since.

    No sign yet. Knowing Channel 5, we'll get it in 2018 ;)

    Was November 2014 that C5 press release gave mention of the acquiring of said show from CBS , yet they've done a POI and are shuffling instead of being steadfast with airing these inital 13 episodes,

    I hate to say it but C5 was so much better before Viacom & Desmond! - we had dogless prison break , 30 Rock , Californication & Home & Away was going great guns what with the Kim Hyde storylines (he later appeared in a little known film called Thor)

    It's no big loss. CSI Cyber is one of the worst programmes ever made, anywhere, to be show on TV.
