C.S.I. Miami - The Sixth Season

I MISSSED LAST SEASON SO BUYING THIS HELPED ME OUT A LOT MAINLY TO UNDERSTAND THIS SEASON

The show is the best on television. Season 6 and the departure of Khandi Alexander in episode 19 out of the 21 short season that the 07-08 season had for us was the only bad thing about the show.

"CSI Miami - Sixth Season"
In the past, arguably, "CSI Miami" has worked better as an ensemble cast show than as a vehicle for lead actor David Caruso. Caruso, who first came onto the mainstream radar as the character Det. John Kelly, on "NYPD Blue," where his smouldering, slow-burn intensity was perfectly harnessed. After leaving the show, Caruso embarked on an abortive film career marked by the abysmal 1995 Joe Eszterhas flop, "Jade" (one of only two movies that I've ever walked out on in my life). His role as CSI's Horatio Caine is Caruso's career redemption -- although many viewers find the character to be shockingly one-note, the show has been a commercial success, as evidenced by this, the show's sixth season, now released on DVD.

During the show's sixth season it was derailed, like most 2007-2008 TV shows, by the long-running Hollywood screenwriters strike. Hardly matters, though: this is a show that chugs along on its own steam, outside world be damned. And, interestingly enough, it is a season where the taciturn Caine character is given more development than in many previous seasons. Caine is reunited with a long-lost (and hitherto unknown) son, a teenage boy who is hopelessly caught up in Miami's world of petty crime. Their relationship gets caught up in Caine's ongoing feud with an imprisoned crime boss, leading, apparently, to a cliffhanger ending where Caine gets shot by an unknown gunman. Is he dead? Doubt it, but you'll have to tune in next season to find out! Meanwhile, the trademark CSI formula is firmly in place: glitzy, stylish cinematography, gratuitous t&a (hey, it's Miami, after all) and simplistic yet far-fetched murder mysteries, solved by with plenty of gruesome detail by a Scooby gang of high-tech flatfoots with lots of fancy forensic toys (and holographic projectors in the crime lab! Batman himself would be jealous!) One of TV's most formulaic shows, but also one of the decade's programming warhorses. (Joe Sixpack, Slipcue film reviews)

The best yet it keeps getting better and better all the time. I liked La Vegas then it went kinda weird, and I started watching Miama and it is awesome they sometimes go outside the box.

The best season in the series yet. David Caruso is making his mark on the world with this show.
