Synopsis
The first of two spinoffs launched by the hugely popular television series CSI: CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION, CSI: MIAMI introduces a new cast of crime fighters operating from a forensics lab unit in the tropical climes of southern Florida. David Caruso (NYPD BLUE) anchors the series as the tortured homicide detective, Horatio Caine, leads an investigative team that includes a Southern-belle ballistics expert, Calleigh Duquesne (Emily Procter); an underwater recovery expert, Eric Delko (Adam Rodriguez); and a no-nonsense coroner, Alexx Woods (Khandi Alexander). While sharing its parent show's penchant for grisly crime reenactments, the spinoff places more emphasis on police work than science, and boasts a flashier cinematographic style that befits its sun-kissed and stylish Miami locale. Features the first twelve episodes from the third series.

Customer Reviews

Very entertaining series
I only used to watch 24 on TV, but then I heard about CSI and decided to give that a go. After watching loads of episodes of the original CSI and the two spin-offs (Miami and NY), I can definitely say that CSI Miami is my favourite, and I enjoy it as much as the antics of Jack Bauer :) The cast are excellent, and the crimes so gruesome that sometimes you cover your eyes with your hands (but of course you always peep through your fingers). I love the Arthur Conan Doyle technique of showing the crime first and then working back from the clues to discover who did it and why, with various flashbacks provided from different characters' points of view, so you won't know who did it until the end. I also find the crime labs really fascinating, I don't know if things are done this way in real life, but the series has showed me so many things I never knew about police investigations! It's really addictive stuff, and the good thing is that you don't need to watch previous episodes or previous seasons to understand what is going on; I started in the middle of season 3 thinking that I'll probably be a bit confused, but each episode has its own storyline and crime to solve, and the characters'private lives aren't the focus of the series, so its not like 24 that you have to watch all the episodes to be up to date with what is happening. If you like crime and detective shows, you should like this one.

Full of suspense
As with all the CSI series as soon as you start watching from the beginning of each season you are hooked again.
David Caruso once again has you feeling a whole mix of emotions as Horatio Caine.
I throughly enjoyed this season part and leaves you reaching for part 2 as quickly as you can. So many questions.
Very well written and directed, a good watch.
