The CSI team evaluates and solves crimes through laboratory reviews and other high tech ways. They risk their lives interviewing criminals and arresting them. The criminals are always trying to destroy the evidence and kill team members.

 Glitzy but vapid CSI offshoot declines further October 30, 2008

CSI Miami has always been the pretty, but vapid, offshoot of the original Vegas-centered show, with simpler writing and acting, less complicated cases, and much less realism (even for a TV crime show).
I've followed the series since its inception; it's always been just mind-candy compared to the original show. In this sixth season, Miami finally reaches the point of not being worth watching even for mind-candy. If you watch the episode "To Kill a Predator", I'm talking about the ending. Never mind the simplistic moralizing, but cmon...talk about jumping the shark.
More broadly, the opening sequences (eg, before the title credits roll) are glitzier and edgier than ever, and in proper Miami-style, attractive people are everywhere. It's pretty much only the chicks in bikinis that save this from a 2 star rating. But the usual things that weaken realism in this series are even more pronounced than before:
* The forensics people regularly go on police raids. By themselves. With just a handgun and no backup. Even in cases where a SWAT team would be called for...
* Far too many cases feature some complicated personal links to the CSI people.
* Horatio ends up shooting a lot of people for being in a scientist desk-jockey position. But somehow never is investigated for that despite all the "Internal Affairs" tie-ins in the series?
* It's almost always one of the first two or three suspects and they almost always give in when prodded to confess. And they always cooperate no matter how guilty they are. And the CSIs are doing the interrogations. And the minors don't need advocates. And...
* Somehow one small team covers the entire city's forensics needs while conducting those regular police raids.
* Somehow the female CSIs are able to show up wearing cute little white pantsuits, long loose hair, and stiletto heels and process a scene like a construction site (umm..loose dirt, heels... doesn't work, they sink!). Nobody gets dirty, their hair doesn't get gunked up, huh?
* Legalities are rarely covered. Warrants, probable cause, who needs that??
* Science is skimmed over perfunctorily. DNA is used to include suspects rather than properly to exclude them, fingerprint searches take fractions of a second, network IP addresses magically map to individual people's dossiers. Forensics is nothing other than science, so here the series loses its focus entirely.
* Proper crime-scene procedure isn't followed either: see something special, pick it up bare-handed! No documenting, no gloves, no nothing.
* Etc Etc Ugh
It IS fiction, so there has to be some glossing over of reality's mundanities. But unlike the original CSI there's no attempt to preserve suspension of disbelief. Add in the increasingly simple acting and poor writing, and the result is a dis-service to the CSI franchise. And not worth your time. Not recommended.
CSI Miami - Australia not left behind! October 30, 2008
Lorraine Cameron (Qld, Australia)
Finally I get to see the Season of CSI Miami that isn't ages behind. We are dealt a tough blow by the network in Australia that has the rights to show all CSI's. So being able to purchase the full Season from Amazon is brilliant - never do I have to feel left behind again... Thank you.
