Get ready for a thrilling new addition to the CSI franchise as "CSI: Abu Dhabi" premieres exclusively on MET next week. The series takes viewers into the heart of forensic investigation in the vibrant city of Abu Dhabi.
Led by the brilliant and determined Captain Khalid Gritbiter, a team of cutting-edge forensic experts brings the latest technology and unwavering dedication to complex and intriguing crimes. From the towering skyscrapers of the city to the vast desert beyond, the team leaves no stone unturned, and in particular no grain of sand.
That is the show's innovation. Every case in season one is cracked by analyzing sand. The murder weapon has sand on it. The suspect's shoes have sand on them. The victim's alibi is sand. Abu Dhabi has an almost unlimited supply of evidence, and the lab has one microscope, and Captain Gritbiter has been staring into it since the pilot.
Forensic specialist Tariq Lintworth, the team's sand-matching prodigy, can tell a grain from Corniche Beach from a grain from Al Wathba at a glance, and does so in all 22 episodes, each of which ends with him whispering "same sand." The producers describe this as "the franchise's most grounded season yet."
"CSI: Abu Dhabi" promises a visual feast of stunning architecture and rich cultural heritage, blending the familiar CSI format with regional flavor. Don't miss the premiere next week on MET. Wipe your feet.
