Don't know if many watch these series, but I'm quite a fan  .
I really think that the original Las Vegas has gone downhill a little since the departures of Warrick, Sara and especially Grissom. It's just not the same anymore. On the other hand Miami and NY appear to be getting better. I think I'm edging towards Miami....
What's everybody think?

I'm still waiting for Law And Order SUV. Gotta go with the original. Caruso in Miami is way too smug. Although that hot blond lady with a thing for guns almost makes up for it. And what the hell's up with CSI New York? L & O hasn't invaded your territories in Miami and Vegas.  I'm pretty sure sooner or later there will be hell to pay and of course blood everywhere. ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

The original, but the first five seasons at most, with perhaps the Miniature Killer story extracted from otherwise four more seasons with many, many lows. I'm almost up to date just by watching it on TV (Grissom not departed yet), and the 10th is ok. Really like watching CSI: NY as well, though. -------------

CSI. Yuck. For me it epitomizes everything that is bad in detective fiction series.  Forensics, forensics, forensics! Is there really nothing else to be said in this genre in last few years? The plot of each episode is generically crafted - a screenplay writer started with murder(s), writing backwards, messing a few things up a bit, showing a body and a a few tiny clues. There is no story, there is no drama, characters are paper-thin and convincing as characters in a toothpaste commercial. CSI , Bones, and others of their ilk are not series in a real sense - it's just a techno-thriller picture-book: it emphasizes more a documentary aspect of forensic techniques than stories and emotions among people. Camera movement is too erratic (that's a plague in American police series for the last 10 years; since NYPD Blue, I think). And do we really need bullet trajectories and all that?? The whole show is a pile of messy pictures, if I have to say a one thing about character's personalities, that's main character's sun glasses. Numb3rs is more interesting because of the original approach, but the delivery is naive, and characters are shallow. (not even Judd Hirsch could save it) Over here, there are usually two or three episodes of different series aired in a row - most often one or two contemporary American ones, and one British (or German) police series. The difference is evident - not only in production techniques and style, but also in quality, unfortunately. I want a story with characters that have personal life, emotions, that can make a mistake. I'll pick A Touch Of Frost over CSI anytime. ------------- |
