Summary: Slow Start - Strong Finish
Review: First of all, I purchased this set because I am a fan of the original CSI. I had never seen any of these episodes, so my opinion is not based on any prior disposition. That said, I didn't care for the first 10 episodes of this set primarily because Kim Delaney got in the way of an otherwise decent show. After she left, the show definitely improved, but I still wasn't all that thrilled with it until the episode "Dead Woman Walking" totally blew me away. The remaining 7 or 8 episodes are very good, and I am now looking forward to the second season release in January. At first I really regretted buying this set, but the show definitely improves as the season progresses.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Two Thumbs Up Almost as good as CSI Las Vegas
Review: I enjoyed it alot. Took me awhile to adapt to the different Miami characters as opposed to the Las Vegas team, but I really enjoyed the series. Almost as good as the regular CSI.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent Addition to the CSI Franchise
Review: I had not watched CSI Miami on TV, but have watched most of the original CSI series. I'm a huge fan of the original. You always wonder whether or not a spin-off can match the original. CSI Miami comes pretty close. The series does start out a little slow with the team's chemistry thrown off by Kim Delaney's role in the first few episodes. However, Miami picks up steam and finishes with some intriguing episodes. The series also develops some interesting storyline which I look forward to following with the release of the Season 2 DVDs.

Summary: Great show!!! My personal favorite!!! :)
Review: I have preferred this show to CSI from the start...it appeals to me more. I find the characters more likable and more compassionate. I also feel there is great chemistry with all of them. With one exception...and this applies to season one only...I never felt Kim Delaney's character fit in and was glad when she left. I never really understood why she was added...it was obvious, to me, that when the CSI:Miami cast was introduced in "Crossing Jurisdictions" they all fit perfectly the way they were. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". I also prefer the Miami location...it's mostly bright and sunny...which is more appealing to me.

I'm really glad to see this finally coming out on DVD...and I hope season two will not take as long to be put on DVD.

A side note: I have no ill feelings towards Kim Delaney...I think she is good actress and have watched her since her soap days...this show was just not for her.

Summary: CSI Miami is one of the best
Review: I love CSI Miami, David Caruso who plays Horatio Caine, does a wonderful acting job. He makes you believe in the CSI and that they are there to help and solve cases. He has a certain charisma that he portrays and that makes him very believable. This being a spin off CSI, i feel that this show does things better. It's location and the types of crime scenes that they have, are so much more better and make it more enjoyable to watch. If you haven't seen any episodes before think about buying the DVD, cuz u'll probably end up loving the show. I don't really like other shows like Law and Order and CSI for much, but the cast and type of crimes in this series make me love it alot.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great spinoff
Review: I though this was very good seriese. Like most it has a few kinks to work out in the first season but it was much better written and acted tham almost all first seasons I've seen (with the excepton of the original CSI). If you liked the Original CSI you should definatly give this a try.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It's about time.
Review: It's about time that the newest addiction, CSI Miami joined the DVD set. I have to be, at work early & some times, I have missed a epic or two. So, I'm glade that the DVD set will be out soon. I look forward to catching the ones that I had to miss. It will be a great addiction to my CSI DVD Set. I have the three other CSIs & let me tell you, they really come in handy on the those days, when there is nothing on tv to watch on my days off. I'm not in to the soaps. I'm a Drama kinda person Keep them coming!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: CSI Miami - getting better and better
Review: Most first seasons struggle. The original CSI had problems but sorted them out quickly and became a massive hit.

The First season of CSI Miami starts with more confidence that its Vegas sibling and gets better and better, with the only major fault being too much focus on Caruso's character (but as his protrayal of the empathic Horatio Caine is such a pleasure to watch this is understandable).

CSI Miami is a spin-off, one of those things that fans can either love or hate and will always compare to the original. People who unfavourably compare the fully fleshed out Vegas people to the fledgling Miami cast should remember that it took us a while to get used to Sarah, Warwick and the rest of the crew so we should give Speed, Calleigh and Co. some time to grow on us (and they come on in leaps and bounds in season two). As for Caine vs Grissom - I can enjoy watching either.

The fact that some of the stories stray from bread and butter CSI work to other points of view make CSI Miami more distinct from the Vegas series and, in my opinion, more watchable.

A good show, getting better and better

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is an awesome show!
Review: This is a good show. Everythings good about it. They were filming this show a few blocks away from where I live a couple of times. (...). I love this show

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Not even close to original CSI Vegas
Review: those of you who started from the original CSI series, forgot this Miami makeover. the storylines and especially Caruso's performances doesn't worth a cent. CSI series were supposed to be more cerebral and at the opposite extreme of NYPD Blue, but Caruso made it looked like a cheap NYPD clone.
those who got duped with its false promises, I suggest you moved to real action in "The Shields", or better still, the original NYPD series.
