CSI: Miami (2002)
Good time waster
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.
Session 9 (2001)
I'm torn
After reading reviews on this being a great psychological thriller, I was excited to give it a shot. I'm not a fan of gore so I thought this would be right up my alley. However, I'm torn as to how I feel about the movie.
I found it to be a bit too slow and not really that scary/interesting for over an hour so I was disappointed, but as things are revealed in the last twenty minutes it was honestly pretty effective and I'm creeped out. So all in all if you can't find anything else to watch this isn't a terrible choice, it just isn't scary for most of the movie.
