CSI: Miami is a spin off show from the hugely popular groundbreaking CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. The first show in the CSI Miami series ran in 2002 and has since built up a strong following with CSI fans worldwide having now become almost as popular as the original series itself!
CSI: Miami stars David Caruso as the main man Lt. Horatio Caine, he is basically their version of Grissom, the guy we see call the shots and lead the team around a series of complex cases. He has become something of a cult character, renowned for his trademark sunglasses and strange mannerisms including always standing perpendicular to anyone he has conversations with and his faultless marksmanship and firearms skills. He has risked his own life several times to save people and definitely has a ‘love him or hate him’ kind of personality.
The rest of the CSI: Miami cast is made up of several recurring characters that each have their own sub plots and separate issues going on in each episode making the show compulsive and entertaining viewing. A few of the current cast regulars also include:
- Calleigh Duquesne – A ballistics specialist played by Emily Procter.
- Dr. Alexx Woods – A medical examiner played by Khandi Alexander.
- Eric Delko - Expert at identifying people from fingerprints played by Adam Rodriguez .
- Ryan Wolfe – Former police officer with a background in genetics and chemistry and a history of OCD. Played by Jonathan Togo
Over the past seasons there have been many show crossover episodes with CSI: Crime Scene Investigation as well as several amazing original story arcs exclusive to CSI: Miami which now have fans completely hooked.
Season 6 is currently being aired in the US and series 1-4 are now available on DVD packed with special features.
Momentum Pictures is offering the opportunity to purchase all 27 box sets from 15 October 2007 at HALF PRICE all the way until Christmas 2007. The only conclusion a jury can come to is that Momentum Pictures is without doubt guilty as charged for allowing the public access to the CSI library at a price that is quite irresistible. So look out for CSI at a store near you and enjoy the world’s biggest TV franchise in all its glory at HALF PRICE.
I must admit that being a huge fan of the original CSI I was slightly sceptical about this show to begin with. I wasn’t keen on Horatio, his complexity takes a while to get used to and actually come to like.
However, after watching a few episodes I soon became engrossed in the show and think that although nothing can top the original CSI series and its amazing characters CSI: Miami has done a great job coming up with a new and exciting angle and it just keeps getting better and better as the show progresses.
Fans of CSI will recognise the episode formats and although it may seem like a bit of a change at first for those who have only seen the original series this is one that is definitely worth sticking with as it looks sure to continue to grow.
