Sidney's TV Reviews

CSI: Miami is by far the best of the 3 CSI shows and perhaps the best show on television. The photography is breathtaking, the cast is beautiful and the stories hold your interest.

I can't remember a TV show that uses split screen multiple images, combined with an ever changing sound track. When viewed on an HDTV with a good sound system, the product is impressive. With the subtle blues and greens from the water, combined with sweeping shots of the Miami skyline, and punctuated with fast cars and beautiful people - well, for free TV right from a set of rabbit ears, how can you top that?

The slow development of the characters and their personal lives - Calliegh's dad, Horatio's love life and his many painful losses, Wolfe's gambling, Natalis's very complicated past, Eric's unrequited love for Calleigh; yet, all these subplots never seem to overpower the story. The only character we seem to know nothing about is Alexx, the sexy M.D. Perhaps the show will take a turn in that direction.

CSI may have been born in Vegas, borrowed heavily from 80's extended music video drama "Miami Vice", but it has grown to adulthood in Miami. The writers, editors and photographers deserve an award - if for nothing else than Horatio's impeccable timing in his delivery of quips and comebacks.

I'm a crime drama fan from way back (Perry Mason in black and white), but CSI: Miami has taken the genre to entire new level. A level that is now the benchmark for quality television drama.

This is one little kinky TV show. Lots of cleavage, leather, S&M, bondage and violence - all during the family hour!

The plot (if you can call it that - it's sooooo thin), really centers around the concept that if the "Seeker" and the "Confessor" do "The Wildthing", they will be unable to complete their task of ridding the known world of ""Darken" whatever the dude's name is. But, in the meantime - the visual spectacle is a sight to behold.

This is sort of a modern day "Star Trek", set in, oh, the 11th century, although everyone is good looking AND they have all their teeth. Go figure.

The "Spock" person is a sorcerer called "Zed". Keep your attention tuned to him, if, that is you're interested in the plot. Otherwise, just enjoy the cheesecake!
