Re: It has to be asked CSI or CSI:Miami
My ranking of 'em would have to be:
CSI
CSI: NY
CSI: Miami
Mostly for me it's kind of a 'heart' thing, hard to explain better than that at this time of day, alas.
NY and Miami are actually close to on a par, for me. But Miami lost points for killing Speed (Woe! He was my favourite!) and because Horatio gets on my nerves at times. I really =like= Alexx, though. Body-chatting and all.
Maybe because if I were in her job, I'd talk to them too. It's not like she pours out her daily woes to them or expects them to answer in anything but evidence, after all, and I talk to =computers= at times, so.
Although a coroner who did hold one-sided entire conversations about her/his own life with the corpses could be pretty funny, actually. Not suitable to a CSI show, but still.
NY's characters aren't quite as well-drawn and memorable (overall) as the other two shows', but I find them more likeable than Miami's most of the time.
The original CSI gets everything right, though. So it's head and shoulders above the other two, for me.
