C.S.I. Miami - The Complete First Season (2002) Review

C.S.I. Miami - The Complete First Season (2002)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Being a CSI las Vegas fan, I wasn't happy when they made CSI Miami. I picked this up due to the summer break of CSI, I needed something.. and this was my choice! I can honestly say that it was a worthwhile purchase after having watched all of the episodes. True David Caruso is no Gil Grissom, but would you want him to be? The feel of the series is very different with the set being in Miami. The cast is on par with the Las vegas cast. Las Vegas has a more personal feel to it, as many times the originals bring their personal lives into the story (i.e. Catherine being a stripper, Warrick being a Gambler), and you don't find that as much in Miami. The focus seems to stay more to the storyline.
Kim Delaney was a welcome cast-off in my opinion. She dragged the series down with her poor attitude, and had no chemistry with David Caruso. She came across as an uptight investigator who had no interest in getting along with her fellow CSIs, or have any passion in getting the truth. I was very glad when she finally left.
Another difference between Las Vegas and Miami that is striking is how each CSI is an expert in their certain field. Callegh is the "Bullet Girl", Speedle is the AV expert, Delco is the Diving tech who speaks russian, and spanish, acts as the go between the Cuban community and the MDPD. Alexx talks to her patients as they were still alive, and in general is friendlier then Al Robbins of Las Vegas.
In conclusion, try it, the two CSIs are comparable, like the many Law and Order spinoffs, you can choose your favorite, but in my opinion each one is strong, and holds its own. You can enjoy either, but take a vacation from Las Vegas to Miami.

Although the original still firmly stands superior, CSI Miami is nevertheless, a good show that is easy to just sit, watch, and get pulled into. It's "tense, gripping, exciting drama" as I like to jikingly call, but it's not that far from the truth. Although the characters can sometimes be a little annoying, it really depends on what you like. If you like Caruso's cheesy maneurisms, or Emily Proctor's constant cheerfulness, it probably won't bother you and will keep you watching. These more positive and sunny characters (probably influenced by the city itself) are responsible for making Miami more enjoyable than New York, but also puts it behind Vegas. These are the season two episodes.
Blood Brothers: A model is the fatal victim of a hit and run, Horatio and Yelina examine their feelings for eachother.
Dead Zone: A man is discovered harpooned while searching for sunken treasure, and the death could be financially motivated.

Grand Prix: Pit crewman is burned to death in a Miami race, which brings the team into the strange world of racing.
Big Brother: Horatio becomes driven to find his brother Ray's killer, and discovers a niece he never he had.
Bait: After a woman is attacked and killed by a shark, the case becomes strange after it is discovered she was shot first.
Extreme: A young woman is found thrown over the railing of a parking garage, but it is discovered she was already dead.
Complications: A man is discovered hanging in his two-story condo, but the evidence points to murder, and that the killer had a motive.

C.S.I. New York - The Complete First Season (2004) Review

C.S.I. New York - The Complete First Season (2004)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Crime Scene Investigation: New York (CSI) is the second follow-up of the original CSI, which takes place in Las Vegas. The first sequel to CSI offered the 60 million dedicated viewers to the initial series a location change, as the sequel is set in the subtropical Miami. However, in one episode of CSI: Miami, a cold-blooded murderer brought the investigation to New York to find the killer. This development gave grounds for another change of scenery, which gave the viewers a chance to see the nitty-gritty indifference of the unsympathetic Big Apple's criminals. The mood in CSI: NY is far grimmer and more distant from humanity than its predecessors, as the bluish tone of the photography enhances the cold and unfeeling mood of this series murderous trail.
The first disc of this set of discs offers an opportunity for the audience to experience the initial episode from CSI: Miami that sets up CSI: NY. In this episode the forensic-analyst, Caine (David Caruso) of Miami-Dade crime lab, investigates a grisly double murder, which leads them to New York. Once in New York, Caine begins to cooperate with Detective Mac Taylor (Gary Sinise) to find the answers of the callous murderer's identity, as they put their two sharp minds together to solve the crime. In the opening of CSI: NY, the discovery of a female body neatly dressed and with no visible signs of struggle, or harm, immediately sets the tone of Mac's bleak world. To further the desolated atmosphere of CSI: NY, the audience learns about Mac's late wife who died during the 9/11 attack in Manhattan, which affects his sleeping patterns.
CSI: NY has a number of interesting characters, besides Mac, such as the dedicated Detective Stella Bonasera (Melina Kanakaredes) and Danny Messer (Carmine Giovinazzo). There is also the disillusioned doctor Sheldon Hawkes who has left his job as a doctor due to failure, and then there is the hot-tempered Don Flack (Eddie Cahill). The combination between these characters led by Mac and the horrific crimes that fall in their lap allows the audience to enter a dark and sinister domain, as they seek through scientific methods find the clue that solves the case. The TV series is not really entertainment, as it has some gruesome stories. However, CSI: NY offers an interesting and suspenseful perspective on science in the legal system, which also offers an interesting viewpoint on life and its function. It truly presents a rather fascinating experience, which definitely is worth the time.
CSI: NY brings the viewers an intriguingly dark police drama where science is the main tool in their investigation. The success on the show rests within the cast's chemistry and their performances, as they all enhance the experience with multifaceted individuality and persona. In addition, each episode presents a unique perspective on innovatively gruesome crimes and how the law enforcement pursues the criminals with relentless dedication. Thus, adding a third location to the CSI franchise was a good decision, as it still serves a large audience a suspenseful and captivating visual event.

Season 2 of CSI: New York is a transition year. The show no longer is as dark as it was during its first season, the storyline involving Mac Taylor's mourning of his wife's death on 9/11 has disappeared, Dr. Hawks is now in the field, instead of performing autopsies, and Aidan Burn is fired and replaced Lindsay Monroe.
The producers seem to have stuck to the CSI formula for 2/3 of the season to allow the dust to settle. The last few episodes bring in some interesting character developments: the sexual chemistry between Danny and Lindsay, the relationship between Danny and his brother, the wrapping up of the rapist storyline, Stella having a relationship with a man that turns violent, and the revelation of a lighter side to Mac.
In all, Season 2 is a good year of cases and glimpses of what direction this show wants to go in.

I stumbled upon this item looking for information on the 3rd Season release. I've searched around on other sites and *apparently* this DVD set is the first 12 episodes of Season 1. It *apparently* is a Canadian release, but who knows. All I know is if you own the Season 1 set, don't buy this. Mind you, all this is second hand info, but I found it on a site I trust. I myself don't own this set, I do own the 1st & 2nd Season sets, though, and HIGHLY recommend them. Hope this helps.
