As Lt. Horatio Caine (David Caruso) notes in episode 4 ("Just One Kiss"), "The evidence, as always, will speak for itself." In other words, CSI: Miami follows the same super-successful formula as CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. Fortunately, this instantly popular spin-off established its own unique identity from the start. Like CSI, the Dade County criminalists of CSI: Miami solve murders using forensic science. Unlike the Vegas crew, however, they're cops with the power to arrest, their coroner (Alexx Woods) talks to dead people, and almost everybody speaks Spanish. Sometimes their crime scene is a swamp, sometimes a resort hotel. Either way, the skies are always sunny--the gators always biting. Real-life Florida resident Caruso is joined by Khandi Alexander (NewsRadio) as Woods, Emily Procter (The West Wing) as ballistics expert Calleigh Duquesne, Adam Rodriguez (Roswell) as underwater recovery expert Eric Delko, and featured player Rory Cochrane as Tim "Speed" Speedle. Cochrane (Dazed and Confused) wouldn't become a full-fledged cast member until the 12th episode ("Entrance Wound"). Meanwhile, Kim Delaney (Caruso's former NYPD Blue cast mate) wouldn't join until the first ("Golden Parachute"), but left after the 10th ("A Horrible Mind"), reportedly due to a lack of chemistry with Caruso. Just as CSI has made the most of its location with stories about showgirls and casino owners, so has CSI: Miami exploited its surroundings for all they're worth. Pilot episode "Cross-Jurisdictions" (a crossover with CSI), for instance, was loosely based on the murder of Miami-based designer Gianni Versace. Other notable episodes include "Camp Fear" with Joan of Arcadia's Amber Tamblyn as a detention camp cadet and "Dead Woman Walking" with Karen Sillas (Under Suspicion) as a victim of radiation poisoning. Like its parent program, CSI: Miami quickly became a ratings powerhouse and was followed by CSI: New York in 2004. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

 laugh out loud May 31, 2009

Funny. If you think that C.S.I. Miami is funny, with it's over-acting and ridiculously funny writing, you might want to check out C.S.I. Maine . This is a spoof of C.S.I. Miami

I purchase this for my wife because she is crazy for the show. I enjoy it but not as much as her.

Season 1 of CSI Miami was the best, with the characters trying to find themselves, solid writing and acting !
David Caruso actually seem to take the show seriously!
A great start December 5, 2008
Jonathan Mettin (Philadelphia, PA USA)
Although this show has faded down the stretch, the first season of CSI: Miami is definitely worth the pick-up. The cases are fantastic but still believable, as is the science for solving them. The characters are varied and believable, with (with the exception of Horatio, the lead character, who is developed more slowly - not at all until season 2, really) just enough personal touches to convince you they are real people who lead real lives outside of the crime lab but not enough to distract you. Usually spin-offs are doomed for failure, but every now and then you get a good one. For the first few seasons, at least, this was one of the best.
