CSI: Miami - The Sixth Season

Who Shot JR? ...errrr, I mean Horatio Caine?
CSI Miami, the #1 watched show in the world, has the ultimate "cliff hanger" in it's 6th year. David Caruso, as Lt Horatio Caine, has helped to create a cult-type following for the show by creating a very memorable and fan-loved character. Feeding on that frenzie, the writers found a way to get us all coming back for more in the up-coming 7th year: they've recreated the whole "Who-Shot-JR" hoopla that the retro-show Dallas once had.

That's right: season 6 leaves Miami's Horatio Caine laying on a run way, with the sunglasses-of-justice broken in front of him, after a single shot rings out thru the air. Is he dead? Well that's what they'd like you to believe. And in all honesty, Mr Caruso does a staggering job of acting a "death rattle" in this final scene. Frankly, it's disturbing to any fan of the redhead. Rumor has it (as does a behind-the-scenes interview with Caruso) that it is merely a set-up, a faked death, to enable Caine to go after his arch-nemisis of season 6 in...

It Delivers
Season 6 was the best. The characters all get pushed to their breaking points. Calleigh gets crazy with her gun, Delko gets crazy over Calleigh, Ryan gets crazy with text messaging, and Alexx gets crazy sick of seeing dead bodies.
What makes CSI: Miami so awesome? Is it the fact that every frame is the same color as a mai-tai? Or that Horatio gets to shoot somebody in every other episode? Or that all the insert shots could be in a Flo-Rida music video? I don't know for sure, but it is awesome. I mean, there's criticism that its not as gritty as the other CSIs, or that David Caruso's Horatio does nothing more than take off his RayBans, do a three-quarter turn, put his hands on his hips, deliver a one liner, then puts on his shades again and walk away in slow motion. But in the end, who cares! Its a way sexy show without being sleezy. Its informative and technological without being outrageous. Its not like they're in car chases and hanging out the windows while driving...

BEST SEASON TO DATE!!!
so far season six has been the best season of csi miami. similar to the plot line fron season 4 with the mali noche crime gang except this time its about horatio and his son. the ending in episode 21 is not to be missed and there is an excellent 2 part episode aswell. a must see for any fan of csi miami.
