The eleventh season of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation premiered on CBS on September 23, 2010 and ended May 12, 2011.
Description
Season 11 of the hit drama CSI picks up where it left off—with Langston on the floor outside of a jail cell bleeding profusely—and ends with the team solving the mystery surrounding the explosion of a van during a funeral ("Shock Waves"). Future episodes contain grisly crimes involving a shark attack in the crowded pool of a casino ("Pool Shark") and the decapitation of a young man found in the woods ("Blood Moon"). Other cases involve the knife attack of a legendary Vegas icon ("Sqweegel") and the CSIs reopen a cold case involving two young girls who went missing five years earlier. There are also plenty of episodes involving the arcane lifestyles of Las Vegas residents, including a mother who suffers from a hoarding condition ("House of Hoarders").
