I watched the 显示 when it was still airing and loved it then. Years later, after it ended I discovered it was on Netflix and had to binge watch. Now I'm on my 秒 rewatch and I'm 更多 addicted than ever. This is an 文章 about why Miami is my 最喜爱的 of the 犯罪现场调查 franchise.
The Miami scenery is the best!
你 might be thinking to yourself "why does this matter?" and that's fine, 你 can think that. But I'm shallow and I like aesthetically pleasing shows occasionally. Just because it's nice to look at. Of all CSI's, New York is actually my 最喜爱的 city but I was very disappointed with the way they made it look. Miami makes me want to be there, and I hate tropical weather. That says a lot.
The cases are very interesting.
Nothing in Miami is dull. Nothing about CSI: Miami is dull. Never forget it used to be the number one 显示 in America at one time for a reason. A big part of why this is is because it has the most interesting cases of all CSI's. The original 犯罪现场调查 really found its footing in later seasons, but in Miami they seemed to know that what drives the 显示 is the cases. People die in interesting ways, and it's almost kindasortanotreally like a horror movie in some ways in "what's the most creative way we can kill someone?" I loved tuning in each week to find out what the case of the week would be because I knew they'd never disappoint.
The lab is also very attractive.
Starting from season 4 onward, the crew really started amping up Miami's visuals. Flashy became the show's middle name. Some people took issue with this, but mostly in those days it was 互联网电影数据库 trolls who had nothing better to do (how I miss those message boards...) If I wanted to watch a boring setting with below average looking people solving crimes, I'd watch NCIS. But I don't, so I don't. Seems people bitched at the 显示 for unfounded reasons that all the other CSI's do...yet Miami was the #1 显示 in America? Hmm...
The other CSIs don't have Calleigh!
Find me ONE PERSON who doesn't 爱情 Calleigh. One. And then there will be none. Possibly the sweetest, most precious 天使 that ever existed. And her accent makes everything better! 😍
The other CSIs also don't have Horatio!
Horatio! I know people make fun of him, 粉丝 and critics alike. But I care about that as much as I care about what 名人 wear to award shows, which is to say not at all. Everything they make fun of about him, I love. Cheesy one liners and puns are the reason I live! "He's always wearing sunglasses!" Okay A - no he's not and B - it's freaking Miami, so....🌞 *shrugs* I think he's an ideal boss, and I would work for him and he's the main reason why the 显示 works as well as it does. Get a jerk boss and it's just like all the others.
It's exciting!
更多 than all others in the franchise, this one frequently puts its CSIs in danger. Near weekly gun fights, and at least twice seasonly explosions. It gives the characters something to do besides look at things under a microscope and print out papers of DNA results. And it is fun to watch. Miami doesn't do anything half-assed, that's for sure!
The cast is family.
Last but not least, and most importantly - I feel very strongly about this one - is that I strongly disagree with critics who 说 this one of all CSIs felt the least like the cast was a family. I think of all of them, this one feels that way the most. The characters all seem to like each other and get along, even when there are underlying tensions. It helps that the lab is run 由 a caring and understanding boss (unlike Grissom and Mac). I think the fact that most of the time in Miami all the CSIs are on the same case as opposed to being 分裂, 拆分 up frequently as they are in the other shows. This puts them all on the same page as they're all working toward the same goal. In other shows, the characters just feel part of a lab. I don't feel the connection I do here.
And not to mention, I also like nearly ALL of the characters individually. Even my least 最喜爱的 here, I'd take over my 最喜爱的 on NY for example. They're just likeable characters. Overwhelmingly so. Even the very minor characters who get 10 episodes to their name are 更多 memorable than the best of the other shows.
