Heard this song on the newest episode of CSI: Miami today and I ended up really liking it =)
I love me some CSI:NY
I was never a big CSI fan until this year and now that I’ve started watching old reruns and new episodes of all three CSI series, I’ve decided that CSI:NY is my favorite out of the trio. The storylines are engaging and realistic, the drama is well-balanced and not over the top like on CSI:Miami (I have to giggle every time Horatio Caine speaks, he makes everything sound like the end of the world), and the characters are so much more down-to-earth and yet so fun to watch. Not to mention I love Gary Sinise, who is an awesome actor and plays the part just right. I realized just how much I loved CSI:NY when I was watching a Season 5 episode, Yahrzeit, which had a plot related to the Holocaust. They dealt with the subject matter so gracefully and beautifully, I almost wanted to cry at the end watching the scene where Mac listened to a testimonial about his father saving a concentration camp prisoner. That moment is when CSI:NY definitely won me over.
CSI:Miami, on the other hand, is all flash and glamour and little substance to me. Sure, some of the storylines are really interesting but they get lost in all the fast-paced action scenes. Even the way they film CSI: Miami makes it look fake, with everything so bright and yellowy all the time. CSI:Las Vegas, on the other hand, seems cold and impersonal, which can be partly attributed to the way they shoot the series, using dark and cold color tones in the lab, and partly to the characters themselves. I just never connected with the characters and storylines on CSI:Miami and CSI:Las Vegas the way I did with CSI:NY.
