Season 3 of CSI Miami really turned up the heat this season as we watch Horatio Caine and his team solve a slough of exciting crimes. In this season, Hortatio comes off as more of a superhero; every third episode or so he is running from an exploding building, narrowly escaping from some natural disaster like a tsunami or hurricane, dodging bullets and still managing to look fabulous with his designer sunglasses. Not that I am complaining, the action and excitement is packed into each episode.

Season 3 continues the story about Horatio's brother, Raymond, who is not dead, as told in the season 2 finale, we see more of Susie and Ray's daughter, Madison, and one of the CSI's dies in the first few episodes. Are you hooked yet? I certainly was after watching just one episode. Another great episode is about everyone's favorite coroner and Eric Delco being trapped AGAIN in the forrest preserve in a flash fire, deja vu all over again!

This season was much better than the previous two. Hortatio Caine, played by David Caruso is the next super-hero, and his CSI team is his sidekick. Wtih more action, suspense and unusual crimes to solve, this season will keep viewers rivited to each episode.

Well, Season 3 seriously explained the catch phrase "WE WON'T GET FOOLED AGAIN!!!" and HORATIO and his team of good looking "hot" shots just about had everything thrown at them that the criminals and mother nature had to offer. Armed with Intensity, his HUMMER and his Dark Shades - HORATIO KANE - darted around explosions, falling buildings, fires and his "IS -HE-OR-ISN'T-HE-DEAD-BROTHER"... all in all the most entertaining season : visually outstanding, action packed and incredibly intense!!! Here's looking over the dark shades for SEASON 4!!! Again the "YOU CAN ALWAYS BANK ON A WINNER" Bruckheimer delivers the goods... This is ONE SEASON that needs to be standing in all it's glory on your DVD Shelf.

CSI:Miami, having evolved with difficulty over the first two seasons, reaches its high point in Season 3. Anyone who has watched the show realizes that Horatio, unlike Gil Grissom or Mac Taylor, is the true star of the show. The rest of the CSIs are entertaining, but the show is truly about him. This dynamic, when combined with the glamour and glitz of the Miami setting and crimes most foul, make this for me the CSI that is above the rest.

Plotwise, season 3 is bit over the top. Issues covered in this season include a stalker murder, a sports star on trial for his wife's murder, a young woman killed in a club, the murder of a uniformed cop, gang warfare in a hospital, the killings of IRS agents, speed dating that ends in a death, spree killing, and the murder of a wingwoman. Some of the lesser episodes involve our old friend Clavo Cruz, a giant boa contricter that eats a woman, skaters and gamers, and of course, the infamous tsunami episode. The season incorporates the Raymond Caine subplot heavily in the last 5 or 6 episodes. This leads up to a satisfying conclusion in the season finale.

The season is also one of change. A regular cast member gets killed in episode 1, which quite frankly, was quite a relief since the character was terrible. Another regular, not a CSI, kills himself. A new cast member joins, Officer Ryan Wolfe, makes the transfer from patrol to CSI, and making some waves in the process. Callie and Delco (who has very little to do this season) have a tough time dealing with tragedy, and we actually see Horatio dating a rather attractive Assistant DA, at least for a few episodes. Some old familiars pop by, including Suzy and Madison, and Raymond Caine's killer Bob, who ends up being much more important in the story than we assumed. All in all it adds up to a great season, which will be extremely difficult to top in Season 4.

People either love or hate this show, so if you count yourself among the fans, this is a must addition to the collection.

I really think csi miami is the best csi shows, every other is great to, I enjoe hours, thanks to this show so well done.

It is one of the best seasons of this show. Off course, nobody should expect the real police to work like those guys, or they will be very dissapointed.

I really enjoyed the entire season. It had some of the most intense episodes yet, and a lot of the plot line is starting to unravel.

The turquoise blues and golden washes of light that show up in the episodes here, whether sky, sea or sun remind me of Maxfield Parrish prints. This makes this series an incredible pleasure to watch.

In other ways the Miami part of the CSI franchise seems like the juvenile delinquent younger brother of the original CSI. Lots of loud explosions, gun shots and action. Combined with the pretty pictures and Caruso's ability to suffer nonstop-- someone nominate him for sainthood-- this makes for a very watchable series.

However, there is one major nit that needs to be picked! The episode with the tax man has a series of tragic events that begin with the IRS making an error in the amount of life insurance benefits paid out to a surviving spouse. A two decimal point error made it impossible for the spouse to pay his tax bill. Duh, guys, get your head out of the DNA lab. Death benefits from life insurance aren't taxable income to an individual.

Surprised your forensic accountant didn't catch that one. *Snort*

I just finished watching the third season of "CSI Miami" and I have to say, it's definitely the best best season so far for this show. There is a major plot twist this season that will blow your mind! Forget everything you think you know about these characters, because they're about to take you for a wild ride!
