Except for logic, the show had everything, literally. The concept of the show was different, a tad bit too different, you may say.

Singer Lata Mangeshkar admitted to being a fan of the series. Abhishek Raghunath of ''Forbes India'' noted: "Millions of Indians wait for CID to play out on their TV screens three nights a week on Sony. The characters—ACP Pradyuman, Sr. Inspectors Abhijeet and Daya, forensic expert Dr Salunkhe, and a host of others—have attained cult status. In an age obsessed with sex, the show is entirely devoid of it and there is no melodrama, a staple of successful Indian soaps since 1999." Rhea Candy from ''Film Companion'' stated the chemistry of the cast members and it being a family show, the main reason behind ''CID''{{'s success. She added, "Today, the show incites mixed reactions. There is an acknowledgement of the institution it is; of the actors, directors and writers it has nurtured, and the efforts it has poured into churning out consistent entertainment.
