Sara Sidle's Actress Perfectly Explained Why CSI Fans Dislike Her So Much
The actress who plays Sara Sidle in the hit series CSI: Crime Scene Investigation has explained why fans dislike her character so much. Jorja Fox starred as crime scene investigator Sara in the original CSI series, as well as the recently aired CSI: Vegas season 1. Aside from her work in the Las Vegas Crime Lab, Sara’s biggest storyline throughout both series centers around her relationship with her colleague and superior Gil Grissom (William Petersen).

While her drive and tenacity while searching for the truth are admirable qualities, the perfectionist who sometimes skates the fine line between self-assurance and arrogance is arguably less appealing. Sara's relationship with forensic entomologist Grissom is another issue that polarized CSI fans for years.
