The acting, the scenario's, the everithing, don't.. Just don't..

I quite agree with those who say that CSI Miami is the best of the three series in the franchise. Not for anything other than it is more entertaining. It has beautiful cinematography, and beautiful people are sprinkled throughout as eye candy. What sets the show apart from the other two is that CSI Miami doesn't attempt to take itself very seriously (hence the negative comments of many others who do try to take the show seriously), and if you as the viewer do the same, you will probably enjoy watching it.If on the other hand, you start looking for 'reality' and for inconsistencies, you will find plenty: - CSI's do not wonder about shooting people and catching criminals; they are essentially lab rats. - David Caruso's character and his famous one-liners are preposterous (but are intended as such) - CSI's and ME's do not wonder around crime scenes dressed as models and wearing 6 inch stilettos - Crimes take months to solve, results take weeks to obtain, not everything is solved in one day etc., etc...I for one, decided to turn my brain off, poor myself a beer and enjoy the show!

I think CSI Miami is the Worst CSIs, worst cast they can't act like the other CSIs David Caruso is just too much like Howdy-Doody meets James Dean. Please, David...lose the shades. What I also disliked was how his character always has to finish everybody else's thoughts or state the obvious, just in case his partners (or the TV audience) are too stupid to figure it out on their own.But I think this show is an 'Ode to David Caruso'. Its one thing that CSI circles around Grisson (William Petersen), but CSI Miami puts too much emphasis on Caruso.Correct me if I'm wrong, but I also think Caruso is a terrible actor. He's too lame, and brings Miami down where CSI (Las Vegas) is more complete a cast.I mean how many times will Caruso put his sunglasses on, say that he will save the day, and then walk away. Its too repetitive.The original CSI has similar problems, but Petersen brings more interest to his character. Horatio Cane if anything is a tool, and a rusty one at that.CSI Miami is okay, but they have to change all the casts, and bring back Speed

Intensely manneristic from the city-scape, crowd/mob scene and lab processing montages to Caine's characteristic neck tilt, CSI Miami is a show I should hate. Apart from the mannerism of the visuals, very few of the secondary characters, from the mobs to the perps, are recognizable as humans.Good example: one episode opens with a hot-dogger hot-dogging down a beachfront road, popping up through the sun-roof and getting decapitated. The mob watching screams, begins flowing towards the scene and then there's a quick-cut to its members pulling out their phones and snapping pictures. Pretty much all of the crowd/mob scenes display similar sensibilities.When functioning as individuals, as witnesses, suspects or perps, most of the secondary characters exhibit characteristics ranging from self-awareness lower than Amoebas to high Narcissism; clueless to anyone being anything more than a toy or an annoyance.The primary characters fare a little better: except for names like Boa Vista and Duquesne (pronounced Descane), they're all more or less human. Calleigh, Caine (despite the neck thing) and Alexx Wood led the pack as fully self-aware individuals with Natalie, Wolfe and Delko following as slightly flawed, blinkered creatures, and Frank Trip trailing as comic relief, human but dumb as a bar of soap. All caring, non-the-less, about their jobs and the victims.And of course the usual cop-show flaws: story-lines that make no sense and procedures that would make real-life cops cringe (the convoys of screaming cruisers being led by over-sized SUV's; CSIs being first responders and acting like cops, confronting suspects often without back-up, etc., etc., etc.).So it should add-up to a show I hate: Mannerism, secondary characters less than despicable and stories that make no sense.Guilty pleasure; I love it.Why I don't know.Perhaps because the visual Mannerism is engaging and seems to serve the American fascination with dramatic visuals rather than the European species, which focuses on the filmmaker's ego.Or because the secondary characters' lack of humanity is so stunningly banal that its unbelievability distances it to the level of flies on fly-paper; aliens squirming, trapped by glue (humanistic values) they don't understand.Or maybe I just like watching Calliegh, Caine and Alexx interact, instructing and dragging their kinder, Natalie, Delko and Wolfe along, often with the dim-witted but well-intentioned Trip tagging behind.Whatever the reason, very much irrational, I just plain enjoy it.
