Trivia:
The production team has said that the characters wear colors that either compliment or contrast Brenda's outfit in each scene. Those that compliment her colors are on her side or will be helpful to the investigation. Those that contrast are her opposition and/or the guilty party. moreQuotes:
Brenda Leigh Johnson: Low-functioning autistics have no language skills; they cannot survive independently by themselves. Keith is not like that. According to his school records, he's very intelligent but he does have issues : he's unemotional, frequently says inappropriate things, he's literal-minded, he gets fixated on minor details, he gets agitated when his routine is altered and he's extremely uncooperative when anything or anyone gets in the way of him doing what he wants.Det. Andy Flynn: Does he have a Georgia accent?

The crime aspect of this show is pretty good, but not extraordinary. This should NOT be the reason to watch the show. If you're looking for that, look somewhere else.
Watch the show for the charming character portrayed by Kyra Sedgewick, who looks like she's in over her head and a mess, but never really is. You won't like her much at first, then she'll start to grow on you and you can't wait for the next episodes. Watch it for the old Lt. Provenza, who you probably wouldn't mind punching in the face ... then episodes later, he's one of your favorite characters on the show. The characters is what makes this show good, and the crimes only further bring out their own .. uh .. character. The script dialog is also very witty. And the acting is very, very good.
If that's what you're looking for, then great. If you're looking for CSI, watch CSI. :)
