As Lt. Horatio Caine (David Caruso) notes in episode 4 ("Just One Kiss"), "The evidence, as always, will speak for itself." In other words, CSI: Miami follows the same super-successful formula as CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. Fortunately, this instantly popular spin-off established its own unique identity from the start. Like CSI, the Dade County criminalists of CSI: Miami solve murders using forensic science. Unlike the Vegas crew, however, they're cops with the power to arrest, their coroner (Alexx Woods) talks to dead people, and almost everybody speaks Spanish. Sometimes their crime scene is a swamp, sometimes a resort hotel. Either way, the skies are always sunny--the gators always biting. Real-life Florida resident Caruso is joined by Khandi Alexander (NewsRadio) as Woods, Emily Procter (The West Wing) as ballistics expert Calleigh Duquesne, Adam Rodriguez (Roswell) as underwater recovery expert Eric Delko, and featured player Rory Cochrane as Tim "Speed" Speedle. Cochrane (Dazed and Confused) wouldn't become a full-fledged cast member until the 12th episode ("Entrance Wound"). Meanwhile, Kim Delaney (Caruso's former NYPD Blue cast mate) wouldn't join until the first ("Golden Parachute"), but left after the 10th ("A Horrible Mind"), reportedly due to a lack of chemistry with Caruso.
Just as CSI has made the most of its location with stories about showgirls and casino owners, so has CSI: Miami exploited its surroundings for all they're worth. Pilot episode "Cross-Jurisdictions" (a crossover with CSI), for instance, was loosely based on the murder of Miami-based designer Gianni Versace. Other notable episodes include "Camp Fear" with Joan of Arcadia's Amber Tamblyn as a detention camp cadet and "Dead Woman Walking" with Karen Sillas (Under Suspicion) as a victim of radiation poisoning. Like its parent program, CSI: Miami quickly became a ratings powerhouse and was followed by CSI: New York in 2004. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Although this show has faded down the stretch, the first season of CSI: Miami is definitely worth the pick-up. The cases are fantastic but still believable, as is the science for solving them. The characters are varied and believable, with (with the exception of Horatio, the lead character, who is developed more slowly - not at all until season 2, really) just enough personal touches to convince you they are real people who lead real lives outside of the crime lab but not enough to distract you. Usually spin-offs are doomed for failure, but every now and then you get a good one. For the first few seasons, at least, this was one of the best.

This is absolutely one of the best T.V. series I've seen in a long time, and I just discovered it this year! This show is ADDICTIVE! With a setting in sexy, wealthy, scandolous Miami, how could it not be?! And David Caruso is SOOOO sexy, with his deep voice. His one-liners are genius! And guys will have their eye candy in the sexy, serious, but sassy Emily Procter. I love her character because she LOOKS sweet & unassuming, but she's one tough chick, with great one liners of her own. Please give this show a chance. Watch it on A&E or CBS, where it airs, and you will agree that it is one of the best T.V. shows out there, and it's the best out of all the CSI's(they're not even half as good)!

Living in Las Vegas, the last thing I wanted to see was a show about this city on television. Having lived here most of my life, I didn't see anything interesting about it.
So, when CSI: Crime Scene Investigation came along, I decided to give it a try and see what it had to offer. Maybe it would be interesting, after all I enjoyed Profiler until it was cancelled; and this was similiar, yet only to a point.
30 minutes into CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, I fell asleep. And, each time I would watch the episodes, I'd nod off. After a few times, I gave it up. (Nothing personal to the cast, but they were not that interesting).
But to each their own. If one likes it and another doesn't; it doesn't make it a wrong choice, just personal choices and certainly you shouldn't be comparing the way something is done in one city to what is done in another. We are all looking for something different when we watch TV, and that fuels the choices we make.
In 2002, another CSI was coming out, this time with David Caruso as the lead actor and set in Miami. I was thinking Miami Vice with David Caruso; not a pretty sight, but worth a try.
Tried it I did, and got hooked (so hooked I own season 1-4 on DVD) and watch it whenever time permits.
Here I am, now 5 years later, looking forward to getting season 5 on DVD (I have to wait until Christmas cause someone in my family decided it'd be funny to give it to me as a gift).

Ok, so CSI the original is quite addictive, right? and I got desperate for something new on DVD, so I tried CSI Miami, because I sort of had to try at least one season to get through to CSI New York, which has much more promise. And yes, the first season is just as bad as I feared. It's awful. David Caruso is horrific, overacting for all he's worth; the blond southern chickie and the black doctor chickie are equally shudder-worthy in places, although they have a heck of a lot more moments of grace than "Horatio" does. I sincerely hope this gets much better as it goes on because right now I'm sort of stupefied. And yet, still better than some of the other stuff I end up watching, so I must just be a bad TV junkie... Maybe it just grows on you, like a fungus? Here's to hoping - I bought season 2 on speculation.
It has to get better, right?
