Critic's Corner Thursday Oct 8, 2009
We see the murderer (a nice, weirdly sympathetic turn by Tim Blake Nelson) right up front; the question is why he did it and what he plans to do next. Though that's an obvious break from the CSI norm, the episode also represents something of a return to form: The focus is more on the case and less on the investigators. (USA Today -- Life)
