Arquette is a cool presence onscreen and brings understated conviction to a character whose powers of observation border on superhuman. Read full review

Watching CSI is like eating Gummi Bears. There's no nutritional value, but the franchise has created a yummy, empty-calorie world.... The eternally maternal Patricia Arquette, enhances her journeywoman bona fides on this TV junk food. [6 Mar 2015, p.75]

CSI: Cyber is perfectly serviceable television, with nothing distracting--David Caruso dramatically interrupting his own cheesy ripostes to don his sunglasses, say--to take you out of the story, but not a whole lot to keep you breathless for another. Read full review

It’s no surprise that the series doesn’t really give Arquette any opportunity to demonstrate the acting chops that garnered her an Academy Award or the warmth and likability she radiated for seven seasons on Medium. Van Der Beek and MacNichol also are capable of much more than simply spouting exposition. Read full review

Fans of “CSI” shows will likely warm up to this latest franchise extension and viewers of more character-driven, less preposterous drama will ignore it like they have past “CSI” shows. Read full review

In the ways that matter, though, Cyber is pure “CSI”--a slick but wooden fantasy of middle-American paranoia in which aberrant criminals face off against hilariously competent crime solvers. Read full review

This train wreck of a show often plays like a parody of bad crime drama that one would see within a Seth Rogen comedy, for example. Read full review

Its keeps older people advised to what criminals can do to the world. Most of the complaints seem to be from very uneducated. Even speaking of having female boss and over weight hacker. And you use let these kind of people help make decisions in Hollywood. Our favorites are criminal minds, csi cyber and all other dramas. Just tell the others to change the channel and watch what they
want to watch and keep your fingers off ours. There are more than kids out there that watch TV.
The young ones want to just type something to you because someone else did. Older people don't usually respond to this kind of web sites for their opinion to be put out there.… Expand

I like this show. It helps people understand what can be done over the web. I believe it can in an entertaining way help people see the dangers of sharing too much information. The problem with the show is the name. It really is not a CSI show. Should probably be called FBI Cyber.

Within the format however, it faced obvious limitations. I think it's because the CSI standard treatment has run its course. Although the plots were generally workable, the writing didn't give the actors much to work with. Overall, it was still watchable and at times enjoyable, but it never reached the right balance it needed to be good.… Expand

I liked the original CSI in Vegas and I hope it isn't gone forever. I liked CSI: NY but it's long gone now. I had hopes for this one but I just can't get into it. The characters never seem to gel.

I had hopes for this one but I just can't get into it. The characters never seem to gel. They seem like a dysfunctional work group. Arquette's character seems like she's more interested in herself than building her team. She's grouchy but she's no Jethro Gibbs. If I were part of their team I'd be looking for a way to transfer out. Fortunately all I need to do is pick up the remote.… Expand

Yes, the show is filled with the usual CSI cliches that everyone is all too familiar with. Most of us can tolerate the CSI archetypes, to an extent.

Most of us can tolerate the CSI archetypes, to an extent. The no-nonsense gun-wielding officer, the level-headed special agent with an eye for persons of ill-intent, are all things I can put up in crime drama. But when the show clearly pulls characters from other tv show formats, the writers have to find a way to make it work without losing the integrity of the show. Bow Wow's character plays the former misfit-hacker struggling to turn over a new leaf and help the FBI(White Collar, Breakout Kings). Hayley Kiyoko plays the quirky fun-dressing assistant on the periphery of each episodes plot development and seems to lack purpose or import on the show. Then of course, the over-weight computer nerd, in all of his quick witted humor and sarcasm. The most glaring problem of all is that the script lacks originality. The show opens with a spoken introduction by the main character, Avery Ryan, that sounds borrowed from a Vigilante Cartoon explaining why he protects his city, which immediately establishes a precedent of low expectations for creativity. There was little thought put into this script. The challenge of any new series is going about revealing pieces of the past(essential to the characters and plot) in a clever and unexpected way. The writers of this show did not step up to the challenge. Important information just seems to be thrown throughout the script without being connected to the plot. The dialogue is not believable and sounds more punch line oriented. The actors aren't being given much to work with and Bow Wow's characters exposed that more than anyone else. The dialogue often times feels unnatural, forced, and out of context. I doubt if this show will be renewed for another season.… Expand

I can't believe the writers are so lame, to think that public Joe is so stupid, to fall for such drivel.
Yes it's true a good hacker can cause alot of mayhem, but honestly, the melodrama that follows the story, is right up there with a 70's soap opera.

Good concept, terrible writing.… Expand

What happened to the writers from the other CSI shows??? The plot lines are awful and too drawn out and the dialogue is terrible. I was hopeful that Ted Danson could do something to save this stinker but there are not enough redeeming elements. Won't be watching this again.
