CSI: Miami

I liked all the detectives on that show. They sharp, confident and had a passion to get the criminal. The criminals were great too. Good directing is what kept it going for so long and a good run. Why another of Jerry Bruckheimer's classics was cancelled I just don't get it.

As a longtime CSI LV fan it is so upsetting to see how the terrible acting of David Caruso makes CSI Miami unbearable to watch. The overacting in each episode is painful including the repetitive head tilt, glasses on and glasses off and hands on hips. Every show I have tried to watch it is always the same. Hummers only for the CSI team (not for the police), Kaine shooting guns with glasses on all while wearing dark clothes in Miami heat. All are totally ridiculous. The most irritating of all of Caruso's acting quirks is the fact then when people are talking to him he never looks them in the eye and each scene his is in usually ends with a rhetorical question. It makes a serious show comical and campy. There are other cast members that can carry part of the show but Caruso really needs to have fewer lines and less airtime!

plus the stupidly hammy Alex's Mommy complex re her corpses...

all the comments above sum up my own disgust with Caruso... does he own the show, or what?... i can't believe someone that awful can continue to be paid for nauseating the viewers, unless he does... or maybe has some really juicy blackmail material to hold over the heads of the producers...

and what's with the trailer showing the best of all the cast members, Kally (sp?) getting killed off, when we're all pulling for Caruso to get the ax?... or did she get as sick of Caruso's idiotic posturing as we are and opt out?...

Horatio Caine and his gorgeous (fe/male) cohorts solve all sorts of crimes with skill - and machines that are cutting-edge, yet non-existent in CSI workplaces. Most shows begin with lots of bikinis, dead yet gorgeous women, and frankly, some graphic sex/torture scenes that are increasingly gratuitous and revolting. Add to this lovely issue that each time Caine (Caruso) opens his mouth, it's a cliché; the only way I can tolerate the show is by counting the number of silly comments. Within four minutes, he had mentioned 3 clichés and his friend, female empathetic-to-the-point-of-nausea-coroner Alex, had mentioned 2; both pause as if delivering a punchline, & Caruso lets the door close behind him right after speaking. Tie that in with the fact that he never looks anyone in the eye and he always turns, while putting his sunglasses on with TWO (??) hands, and you sure don't have good acting. That being said, it's all fun. "You know what you get for playing with fire.." he intones, "you get burnt" after a criminal left ash to be found by these wonderful cops. (Note: glasses are pushed up on nose). If you're into this light fare, you'll love it. For some inexplicable reason, all children open up immediately to Caine and tell him their secrets. For once, unlike on NYPD Blue, we don't have to see Caruso's butt exposed in every show. What a blessing.

Ah! Terrible the day my brother chose this CSI compilation as my Christmas gift! An odyssey to play them all! Yet there are only 3 games so it could have been worse! This time, the cases are located in Miami. Indeed, it is less dark than Las Vegas but the cases are as boring as ever: (alligator, the nightclub, the love boat, the sunburn, the mad judge). You still got not interactivity, the proofs analysis remains unchanged and the only positive addition is the puzzle time. I also discovered that Miami is a bit like Venice because large parts of the town are surrounded by water. But the game didn't motive me to go there either nor to watch the show!
