Review of CSI: Miami

CSI: Miami (2002–2012)
5/10
Looks good in HD - that's about it.
12 February 2007
Everything looks really glamorous in CSI Miami. While almost every show looks better on HDTV, CSI-Miami stands above the others. This show was made for HD. The landscape is ultra-modern, lush, and sexy. The interior decors are 22nd century. And the graphics and color coordinations are top notch. However beneath all that CGI and funky high tech devices that investigators use, there is little of redeeming value in this show. When it comes to what really counts, the characters, CSI Miami falls way short. The acting is wooden and one-dimensional. The dialog is bland and sometimes cheesy. When I watch this show, cast members don't even seem human. They just don't seem real.

CSI Miami is very gritty and serious. The only comic relief comes out of David Caruso with his big suits, cheesy delivery of lines, and that oh-so cool handling of deadly situations. He should be handling fine wines, not investigating crimes.

However, if you like CSI-Miami and have an HDTV, I recommend skipping cable and receiving broadcasts directing over the antenna. The picture will blow you away.
