Brief Review
The protagonists of this long-living show are a team of forensic experts working with a variety of criminal stories. Their work is very important, because the further police investigation depends largely on the quality of this, and as often happens in such a way that to solve the crime is possible even without the participation of professional detectives, using only the data found by the experts.
The cast of the series has been changing a lot during so long period of broadcasting, but the idea remained unchanged. When new season twenty is presented, the viewers will certainly see new exciting stories and complicated investigations.
