- I find it far too formulaic - I know that's a bit rich coming from a Columbo fan, but really does every episode have to have two separate investigations running through it?
- If I miss the first few minutes of it, I find it hard to keep up with which investigation is which - probably because of the next point
- I have trouble distinguishing between the investigators and don't have any real sense of their characters, except in the case of..
- Horatio in CSI Miami - he stands out because I can't stand him - posing with his sunglasses on, looking wistfully (I imagine as I can't actually see his eyes) out to sea
- Motivation isn't so important as method of killing. A reason will be given why someone has committed the crime but it isn' t anything in-depth - everyone is 2 dimensional
- Because the method is the most important thing, these are ridiculous - rarely is anyone just shot or stabbed
- They don't seem to liaise with any other specialists - no criminal psychologists etc - just forensics
- Back in the real world, it is apparently getting harder to convict without lots of impressive CSI type evidence as this is what juries now expect having seen it on television
- We had a break-in at work a while back and a forensics expert came to look at the scene - she was no where near as glamorous as the CSI teams - she was quite dull in fact.
I will admit I haven't seen that many full episodes as I tend to watch this in bed and fall asleep and I prefer the original series, then New York and absolutely loathe Miami.
