Hello World!

I was never really into crime shows before CSI, but I've now hooked on to another great investigative series: Without a Trace. It's fascinating to follow the twists and turns of each case unfold each week, and the actors are top-notch.

Unfortunately, Channel 9 in Australia is playing the series out of order. Although Without a Trace is, like CSI, essentially an episodic drama series, it's still preferable to watch the relationships develop between the characters over the course of the season. So we were unfortunately thrown in at the deep end here, but the first episode screened, "Maple Street", was enough to draw me in.
