The C.S.I Effect

C.S.I, anyone?

If you don't know what this show is about, you probably live under a rock. A television show that follows the sciences of finding a criminal, by looking for clues in evidence that can lead Grissom's team to finding out who the killer is.

The team of scientific researchers can find the evidence, fingerprints, hairs, and/or whatever trace of DNA they can find within a few hours, but that's not the case in reality. In can take hours, maybe even days to find out the information you need from a piece of the crime scene.

They can fit the plot of the story that would normally be a week, into a time span of an hour lnog episode. They make it seem like they can solve a crime that can't be solved for months, in the time span of an hour. That, my friend, is unrealistic.
