    Follow how technology changed over time.
    Not only a good program - except for some things like the pathologists questioning witnesses and such - but also a great history lesson if one is able to binge from the beginning. Suddenly mobile phones start showing up, computers appear, the screens of said computers go from huge monsters to slimmer ones, and so on. Well spent time if you are interested in such! Sadly the later years has seen a more American touch, but still way better than what is released over there.
