Forensic Heroes (traditional Chinese: 法證先鋒) is a TVB drama about forensic scientists, not unlike the American Emmy Award–winning CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. The series is also said to be the modern remake of TVB's 1999 series, Witness to a Prosecution. Forensic Heroes is a 25-episode serial about the Hong Kong police and a group of forensic scientists, equipped with the latest technology, working together to solve crimes. The series also follows the personal and romantic lives of the protagonists. Unlike CSI, which uses significantly darker and bleaker lighting throughout its episodes, Forensic Heroes is presented in a brighter, more clinical atmosphere. Both use a hard lens picture technique instead of a softer camera format.

Frankie Lam, who plays forensic pathologist Sam, sings the theme song. This is the second time for Bobby Au-Yeung, Frankie Lam, and Yoyo Mung collaborated in a series (the first time was in Armed Reaction 4). The series was the highest rated series in 2006 after La Femme Desperado. It also had the best ending ratings for 2006, peaking at 43 points. Due to the popularity and high ratings of the series, a sequel, Forensic Heroes II, was released in 2008. Filming started in September 2007 with Charmaine Sheh and Kevin Cheng as part of the new cast.

[edit] Plot

The plot for Forensic Heroes contains a mixture of Mystery, Romance, Comedy, Tragedy and Education on some Science. The mysteries include Who killed Tim Sir's wife?, The Sewage Skeleton, The Tai Po Corpse, Murders for Justice and Where is Tim Sir?

The last mystery, which takes only one episode, is the last mystery. Tim Sir, the clever and Virtuous leading Forensic Scientist, is captured by a clown. The forensic scientists and police have got a woman, Tracy, killed. Tracey wanted to kill all the people she knew who were horrid or injustice, for she was an orphan and thought that the world was a place with little fairness. The case is cracked, and Tracy escapes to the top of her flat with a knife in her hand and a part of the team (Ding-Ding) being used to threaten the Forensic Scientists to back off ('If you don't leave, she'll be DEAD'). But one part of the forensic team, Ding's boyfriend and to-be-husband (and whom Tracy loves), was able to make Tracy believe that she had done wrong. But Tracy, instead of letting herself go into prison, lets go of Ding and jumps down from her flat, killing herself. The clown is Tracy's friend, and has no other friends for his face has been disfigured. But in the end, Tim Sir is rescued, and in the end, he accepts a policewoman as his girlfriend. The clown then committs suicide to join Tracy.
