I only began watching this show a few months ago, in syndication, and after five episodes I stopped. In three of the five episodes a young child was part of the plot, and in all three instances the drama ended with David Caruso saving (and hugging) the child. By the third one I knew exactly how it was going to end.
Technology can be a good thing, but in this show it is just a gimmick, as car chases were in the Rockford Files. It trivializes police work and is just an excuse to get from point A to point B without having to script it.
And what's up with the gore? They show us much more than we need to see in order to appreciate what's going on. Ultimately, the graphic gore is just another gimmick.
If you want to see what a good crime drama/police show can be then watch "Da Vinci's Inquest" CSI Miami is just another tired cop show that relies on gimmicks because it has nothing original to offer.
