Résumé
The audio-visual industry offered a place for the detective storyto continue increasing in popularity during the 20th and 21st centuries. Moviesand TV shows ensured wider audiences had the privilege to be told stories thanotherwise would be restricted to a more culturized public. The famous television production by CBS, C.S.I.: Crime Scene Investigation, brought a new way to telldetective stories to homes all around the glove, introducing a more scientificand resourceful police force that contrasted with the ineffectual 19th-centuryone. The tenth season of the series, however, evokes those old detective storieswith its particular adaptation of Stevenson’s Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde as not onlyone of the most outstanding gothic tales, but also a story of a crime.
