Answer 3

It's apparently what the audiance likes. I dont personally like it but whatever.

Answer 4

People love them for so many reasons, you have mystery, the study of human behavior, and forensics. Many of which are new and fascinating. Also, its good to see the bad guy loose in the end. It keeps you guessing and they have lots of twists and turns. If you don't like them watch something else, I am not a fan of CSI, its too graphic for me. Luck!
