Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Each locale in the CSI family has their own color palette: the original series is a dingy, seedy green, while New York is shot in gloomy blue hues. Miami, on the other hand, is a rich meld of citrus yellows and oranges, as bright as star David Caruso's hair. Yet with all the muscle-beach shots and balmy palm trees, grisly crime scenes are waiting to be dusted. The third season of CSI: Miami starts off with a bang (literally) as cast regular Rory Cochrane is killed in the line of duty. His death casts a shadow over the Miami crew, who have the courtesy to mention his name every few episodes or so. Instead of replacing Cochrane with a colorful new character, however, he's replaced by replicas of the other shows. One is young, inexperienced Ryan Wolfe (Jonathan Togo, bearing a resemblance to the original CSI's young, inexperienced Eric Szmanda). Also joining the cast full-time is Det. Yelina Salas (Sofia Milos), who brings a Raphaelite beauty to the cast a la Melina Kanakeredes from CSI: NY, but she has very little to do but receive longing glances from Horatio Crane (Caruso), who still harbors feelings for her. Too bad she's the widow of Crane's dead brother.

Miami's unusual cases include an axe murderer (Eric Roberts) with an apprentice; a Romeo who dies at a speed-dating event; a corpse whose skull must be boiled for processing; a party girl crushed to death by a snake; and a crime scene that involves a tsunami (yes, that's right.). Even pro skateboarder Tony Hawk turns up as--what else?--a pro skateboarder who's killed while motion-capturing himself for a video game. The best thing in CSI: Miami is Caruso, who gets more yardage out of Horatio Crane than the other CSI franchise leads. As a detective, he isn't restricted to swabbing people's mouths but gets to pull out a gun and strong-arm suspects. He also may have the biggest love for over-the-top dramatic pauses on television ("Because. The evidence. Is. The. One. Who's. Talking."), but he's having fun doing it.--Ellen A. Kim

5.0 out of 5 stars Season 3 turns up the heat!, September 17, 2005

By	Amy Wallace "Buttonsamy" (San Rafael, CA United States) - See all my reviews

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!

1. Lost Son: A boat plows into a drawbride and one car falls into the waters below. One of the CSI team gets fatally shot in a shootout.

6. Hell Night: A bus filled with jury members of a large murder case makes a stop at the defendant's house to look at the scene and someone ends up dead with only the jury as suspects.
7. Crime Wave: A tidal wave hits the shores of Miami leaving a crime in its wake.
8. Speed Kills: Speed dating clientel are supected in a mysterious death.
9. Pirated: Pirates have apparently hit the coast of Miami after the bodies of a boat crew are found tied together in a chain in the ocean.
10. After the Fall: A man falls to his death off a modern apartment building and Horatio is accused of being too violent with the suspect. Brutality charges are brought against him.
11. Addiction: A beautiful young married couple drive off the road and the wife is killed. The husband claims they were being held up at gunpoint.

15. Identity: A victim is found at a hotel covered in slime and two young women are implicated in a murder and they both claim to be victims of identity theft.
16. Nothing to Lose: A fire and murder have occured in the Everglades again and Eric and Alex are caught once again in a sticky situation. Another body is found after the fires are put out.
17. Money Plane: A dead body is found in a mail carrier plane's cargo that went down.
18. Game Over: A car plows into a boat leaving the boat driver dead.
19. Sex & Taxes: A man shoots a boat theif who attempts to shoot him, but there is more than meets the eye and Horatio knows it.
20. Killer Date: A dating service madame winds up dead in a bar and her partner is business is suspected.
21. Recoil: The ultimate Horatio Caine episode begins with a stakeout at the courthouse while police and CSI join forces to protect a woman being held at gunpoint.
22. Vengeance: Someone ends up dead at a high school reunion and a life ensurance salesman is a suspect.
23. Whacked: Crime analyst Valera is suspected of illegal evidence procedure and this could put a serial killar on the loose.
24. 10-7: A wearhouse party explodes and the club owner is found dead and Raymond shows up again and his story is played out.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars ANOTHER AWESOME + ENTERTAINING SEASON!!!, November 22, 2005

By	Nicholas Bryant "MovieMad" (Cape Town, South Africa) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars CSI Miami reaches a high point with Season 3: Sun, Glamour, and Overacting Galore!, December 7, 2005

By	A. G. Corwin - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

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.
