ericka-86-277765 Emily and Eva lack acting skills here, any emotion and just seems to be soooo fake and hollow in all possible ways. Oh yeah, they dress very nice and even sexy, but their acting parts as high IQ CSI's and their looks and voices just don't match at all. Their acting is hollow, uncomfortable and honesty they do not look bright enough to even write a speeding ticket, much less to be CSI's.David Caruso's Horatio is completely robotic motionless, DRY and sometimes enerving but better than Emily and Eva.CSI Las Vegas is the best. That is a great show.

Mark Turner Just like the complete CSI series being released in a single set so too is this one coming out. Like the original we follow the forensic unit of another police department, this time in Miami. We also find a group of agents working together to corral the bad guys, to gather evidence and to arrest said bad guys to put in jail. The same format was used but its own twist was added.To start with was the look. Miami had a golden tint to the entire series, a yellow and orange palette that gave everything that sunny Florida look to it. The flavors of the area were apparent in each episode as well depicting Miami as a party town filled to overflowing with bikini clad babes and T-shirt wearing muscle bound bouncers at clubs. Every week a party was going on somewhere.At the head of this team was someone completely unlike Gil Grissom of CSI. Lt. Horatio Caine (David Caruso) was the calm, cool head of the department, knowledgeable in the science needed but more inclined to take to the street in pursuit of a criminal. Each episode usually opened with the crime scene, the CSI team showing up and a double entendre dropped by Caine as he slowly put his shades on only to have the quiet disrupted by the scream of Roger Daltry and the Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again" blaring from the screen.The catch phrases and sunglass slinging became so familiar that it wasn't long until they were pillaged. Memes began to break out online showing a 4 panel set up for some political commentary or joke that always featured the last two panels nearly alike, one with Caine and a catch phrase, the last with YEAHHHH over a shot of Miami. Certainly there was some humor to the scenes as the series went forward with it happening each year, but while the show was hot few made light of it.The cast here felt like it had more personal problems presented than the original series though both featured story lines involving their characters. Calleigh Duquesne (Emily Proctor) had personal issues involving a romance with a fellow detective. Eric Delko (Adam Rodriquez) had a minor substance abuse issue and his sister Marisol ended up marrying Caine before she was shot down by criminals out to get Caine. Tim Speedle (Rory Cochrane) always seemed to have issues with the way things were handled. Rounding out the most long term cast member list was Alexx Woods (Khandi Alexander) the pathologist who always talked to the corpses calling them "baby" and looking for clues to help catch culprits.The series ran for ten seasons and ran 232 episodes. There were episodes where they crossed over with the other CSI shows both in Vegas and New York. Those were always a treat because the first part would air on one show and the follow up on the other. In a world where we're growing accustomed to a "Marvel Universe" this was the same sort of set up, a cross pollinating world of forensic police officers determined to aide one another in search of justice.As with my review for the original series there was no way I could honestly sit down and watch every single episode before writing this review. So picking out a few here and there over the years, trying to get a glimpse at the different casts that changed as time went on I found that the series, like its predecessor, never grew stale. Each episode was top notch in the technical department and the acting never failed to keep the bar high. I imagine that after some time a person would tire of the same role but it didn't mean that the fans had lost interests. As with most series a shuffling of schedules to accommodate the next big thing will lead to a ratings decline and if memory serves me that's what happened here. Still, ten seasons is nothing to shake a stick at. As a matter of fact a BBC article noted that this series was the world's most popular series ranking in the top ten in a number of countries in 2005.One thing that's interesting to note is that the show this one was dropped so that there was room on the schedule for it lasted only one season. Yet another great example of the poor judgement of executives in higher offices. I wonder if they were the same ones that shuffled the series POLICE SQUAD to different nights over a 5 week period and then canceled it never realizing how popular it was until the NAKED GUN films came out and did huge box office.Fans of the show will be delighted to pick this set up. Not only will you get the entire series in a nicely packaged edition but it will take up less shelf space as well. In addition to that are hours of extras that will please fans. Binge watching the series may take a few weeks but that's okay for those of us who enjoyed the show. Just don't wake up the neighbors as each show starts and you find yourself screaming out loud with Daltry as the show opens.

karlina_dian 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

cschick2317 The actors do a good job and the crimes are interesting. The only thing stopping it from being excellent is how clumsy the writers are with character development/drama. Most of the relationships/love interests feel forced and unnatural and every time H tells a bad guy he's going to kill him if the bad guy does whatever it is the bad guy wants to do it's a bit ridiculous. A cop can't just gun someone down. And they over do the whole "Alex as a worried mother" angle to the point where I want to slap her and tell her to get a hold of herself.On a different note, I can see how some would find Caruso's acting style annoying, but honestly I think the show would feel more "plain" (not sure how to describe it) without that quirkiness. Overall, the show is interesting enough to watch, but could have been so much better.
