The newest CSI spinoff, premiering tonight, doesn't make good use of Patricia Arquette, which is especially glaring now that she's an Oscar winner. As Joanne Ostrow notes, Arquette is "now saddled with one of those law enforcement TV roles that requires tension-building in a conservative business suit: either staring at a video monitor looking concerned, talking on a cellphone looking concerned, or hustling in the field while wearing an FBI bullet-proof vest, looking extra concerned." PLUS: CSI: Cyber is just plain hackneyed (http://variety.com/2015/tv/reviews/tv-review-csi-cyber-1201442266/) in its attempt to give a high-tech sheen to the same old formula, Arquette is the first female CSI headliner (http://t.co/EuSvOtXLsa) in 35 seasons of the franchise (Marg Helgenberger doesn't count), producers are clearly banking on Arquette's likability (http://www.thewrap.com/csi-cyber-review-patricia-arquette-cbs-franchise), and James Van Der Beek (http://time.com/3730829/james-van-der-beek-csi-cyber-power-rangers/) feels like he's signed on with the NY Yankees.
