CSI (the first) was sensible and entertaining. Sure, it played quick and loose along with the details on the CSI mission, and police work in-general, but over-all it had been fairly intelligent and entertaining. Then came CSI Miami, which launched a fresh setting and characters but still was a fairly intelligent exhibit. I liked 'H' like a re-tread crime detective who now heads a staff of CSIs and is also a wise avenue cop with some technical smarts and a concealed comfortable streak. He was likeable and typically admirable. Difficulty was that just after 3 respectable yrs being a sequence, '24' arrived all-around and CBS wanted an international intrigue, espionage show to compete.

Rather than try to create a new sequence from total cloth, which quite a few would have viewed as just copying, CBS made a decision to make CSI:Miami their reply to 24. Consequently, they ruined a possibly great display. "OK, let's fire each of the sensible writers and technical advisers and just make this sensationalist crap and contact it a exhibit about CSIs". I liked this collection for the first three seasons, definitely I did. 24 labored effectively (I'm a fan) mainly because it was ridiculous to your excessive in the to begin with episode as well as the premise was based on pure fantasy; a group of individuals identified as the Counter-Terrorism Unit, who fought by far the most 2-dimensional negative guys actually dreamed up in impossible scenarios whilst overcoming out of the question odds with extremely hard know-how.

Fine, I get it. It really is pure fantasy but partaking fantasy therefore you knew that from episode 1. CSI:Miami, on the flip side had generally attempted to appear to be grounded the truth is; Miami PD crime investigators accomplishing whatsoever it will require to unravel mysteries. Instantly by season 4 1. Each individual member with the crew does one thing that may get any regulation enforcement professional fired, and maybe incarcerated each and every season. 2. Technologically extremely hard important things are true and customary. 3. Horatio Caine is usually a super hero. four. It can be presumed which the audience are entire morons, which sadly may be accurate. This is certainly TV at its worst and all connected with its production are worthy of to get slapped and relegated to operating the deep fryer at McDonald's. 24 was wonderfully insane escapism, because it by no means pretended to be actual. CSI:Miami can be a stinking pile of horse crap left inside the spot the place a sensible show the moment existed. Disgrace on CBS for getting this lazy try at glomming onto 24.
