    Miami is cheesy as ****.... CSI Las Vegas best IMHO, although, getting into CSI NY recently.

    CSI Las Vegas is the best, Grissom is the man. Great characters, and great acting.

    Miami is cheesy, the guy who plays Horashio (spelling wrong, i know) overacts the part IMO, wrecks my head! Grissom is far better. The blonde chick in miami, her voice really annoys me!

    Only seen a little bit of new york, but it looks good from what ive seen.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,807 ✭✭✭chump


    I enjoy them all.

    I'd rate Miami as the cheesiest, Las Vegas the edgiest and NY the most boring.

    I like Horatio the best, he's gas, Grissom isn't as likeable but still kool, and Mac just doesn't do it for me.

    I enjoy a good Miami episode the most, Las Vegas is most consistant, and NY is average. Although some of the more recent Miami ones have been laughable, so maybe I'll change allegience soon enough :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,132 ✭✭✭✭is_that_so


    I like the original and CSI:NY. Can't get into the "Miami Vice/macho" thing Horatio has going. It's as if everyone else is as thick as two short planks and sheriff H knows best. He can't resist throwing shapes whether the evidence is there or not. :rolleyes: Just damned annoying. That and the dull bunch of people in his team.
    I think I am just sold on the idea of "follow the evidence" which NY and Vegas do. CSI:NY is much better and darker in season 2 IMHO.

    CSI: Dublin would be great.

    I'd say start with the original. Channel 6 started it from scratch. If you don't like that you won't go for the others.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,129 ✭✭✭Nightwish


    Horatio, Grissom then Mac...I love all of the series but Miami is my favourite. I love Horatio :D

    I agree , The acting and effects in Miami are starting to get to me .. las Vagas is the best by far ..

    Perhaps a POLL could be posted ???

    He did a 2 parter for Vegas which was the end of season 5 - cracking episodes. Wasn't aware he had done a Miami one as well.

    He only did the second part of that two-parter ....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5 BernardBlack


    CSI Las Vegas is by far the best IMO. I watched the other two for a bit when they started but I just didn't care about the characters and the storylines seemed really dull compared to the original series.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 794 ✭✭✭ChityWest


    Cant stand that guy in the miami one - dont reckon hes too great of an actor. The vegas one is best imo - followed by NY.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,789 ✭✭✭tvnutz


    I don't see why everyone loves Vegas,sure it is the original,but the lead (Grissom) is such a boring twat. He should go and marry is jar of bugs and live happily ever after.

    Miami is my favourite,I like the setting,its almost aslways day time and bright.That might not bother some people.but I think Vergas is too dark and dull,and most of the episodes are at night. Horatio is just plain cool,his posing and cheesiness are great,lol. He never takes off his sunglasses,he always looks away when he is talking to someone...its great lol :D

    I like NY as well,I think gary Sinise is an amazing actor,and I hear they are bringing in Anna Belknap as a series regular for season 2,which is cool because you gotta love her. She was in Medical Investiagtion and last seasons finale of Without a Trace.

    So ye,in order I would say

    Miami
    NY
    and then Vegas.

    Hoiratio is a twat , he does take off his glasses , EVERY time he saya a line in the bloody program , That coroner who speaks to the body's gets on my nerves ..

    Oh and CSI agents are NOT supposed to be involved in arresting suspects ....This crack in Miami where they are out chasing the criminals is crap , thay are supposed to be in tha backround investigating ...Hence tha title ..


    Vegas Forever ..........


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,984 ✭✭✭✭Lump


    Also, Grissom and his team are on the night shift.... hence all the episodes being at night :Rolleyes:

    Well then its just boring,aint it? :) Having them in the lab seeing up close how a finger print is examined a million times is just plaing boring. Miami mixes the forensics and the chase of the criminal,which at least makes it interesting.

    And your point? My point was it is annoying,dull and dark. They should have made it the day shift from the start.

    And now half the team are on the day shift...yet we still have it mostly at night,don't we? :rolleyes:

    theres always more crimes at night time...its the way it works..

    The are supposed to be crime scene investigators, not swat teams.

    The never show how examine a finger print. Your just talkin out ur ass now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,373 ✭✭✭Dr Galen


    doesn't Horatio get to do more because he's an actual cop.......

    either way I love em all for differnet reasons.

    Grissoms the man, and the original is prob the best, but just by a little bit. H is a legend, and its the macho, over the topness that i love. The drawn out speech too. Either Caruso is an amazing actor or a **** one, i don't care lol. NY looks good, bit grittier i think, but looking forward to seeing more of it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,373 ✭✭✭Dr Galen


    what u think the chances of a CSI forum are..............anyone tried this is the past

    NY
