TV review

[ffutures]

Can't resist quoting this CSI Miami review snippet:

The storyline is typically convoluted and engaging, and the episode has the requisite number of sharp one-liners, but CSI: Miami increasingly looks like a glossy 1980s pop promo. And why at certain points in the story do the cast start walking in slow motion?

Pretty much sums up CSI Miami - all style and no substance. Original CSI is still pretty good, CSI NY isn't bad, why is Miami so awful? Could it possibly be the cast?

I've always prefered the original to the others.
I love CSI Miami for all those reasons, though. And I do collect tacky souvenirs.

I like Emily Procter, and it's just so much fun. I've only watched two episodes in the last year, but I enjoyed noticing everything H takes off or puts on his sunglasses. I find CSI New York too weird, and I don't like the woman.

In Germany the adds for Miami say "It's only genuine with the sunglasses."

Tastes differ - but H seems far more judgemental than any of the other CSI people, and that's something you don't want to see in someone who is supposed to work strictly according to the evidence.

He is, yes, much more involved than Grissom. And he makes promises. Nothing like 'I will find the guy,' but he's very intense and personal.
I've never been good about following the clues myself. I watch for his corny pronouncements.
