DVD Reviews of C.S.I. Miami - The Fifth Season
DVD Review: Not worth a cent
Summary: 1 Stars
Please read Jimmy's review (the one star one) before even considering watching or buying this series. I am a huge fan on all CSI series since their creation and this is the worst one by far.
It is insulting our intelligence with stories lacking any credibility and Horatio Cayne is turning into an unbearable "White Knight" born to save the world and hardly ever looking at any evidence in the lab. I understand that CSI was lacking some personal angles and too focused on the cases but now it is the opposite, too much personal stories and boring cases.
I cannot believe this series is the most watched in the world when CSI Las Vegas, CSI NY, The Wire or the last seasons on the English series Waking the Dead are by far much smarter and enjoyable.

Summary: 5 Stars
As always, season 5 is DEFINITELY in line with the previous seasons.
Season 5 is beatiful and exciting.
I can't wait to obtain Season 6.

Summary: 5 Stars
This season is the best season yet. Full of action and surprises. I highly recommend this product!!!DVD Review: i LOVE CSI:Miami
Summary: 5 Stars
I LOVE CSI:Miami! i even watch reruns over and over again on A&E. I am buying this DVD set because this season had some good episodes. i hate that Alex has left the show(Season 6)!! I can not wait until Season 6 is out! and yes, some events are unrealistic but it is a TV show for some of you people leaving negative Feedback because of that. If you want straight reality than switch to FOX and watch COPS! DVD Review: The Sun Is Setting On CSI Miami's Street Cred
Summary: 3 Stars
I do enjoy this show and have all the seasons on DVD, but I have to admit Jimmy Park's review is fair and accurate. The lines and direction given to David Caruso are so cringe worthy. For a TV show to be based on something real, it should at least exhibit some reality and believability in order to have credibility. The producers go to so much trouble with lush sets, top notch equipment and other impressive props and yet the writers let us down with banal and ridiculous plots. The 'drive the bomb in the car to a deserted location before it blows' sequence was laughable.
There's ALWAYS a fiber or a fingerprint or some DNA left behind and I'm sure a lot of viewers like me are able to spot who the villain is very early on. Every episode it's the same: murder, the crew turns up (the beautiful people), Horatio delivers his cringe worthy one liner, opening credits, Alex says she'll know more at the "post", one of the beautiful people spots something either on the body or at the scene and says they'll "get it to trace", Horatio drops in from time to time with a "Let's do that" or "Find the gun, find the shooter" or "Find the bomb, find the bomber" line, blah blah blah, a bit of flirting between the beautiful people, an inch or so too much cleavage from Boa Vista and/or Cally and hey presto, Frank Tripp man handles the villain down the steps of the CSI building while Horatio stands in the background looking smug. David Caruso's acting duties may be restricted to putting on/taking off his sunglasses, putting his hands on his hips and nearly always looking down in a hunch back pose, but the guy who plays Tripp, all he does is look annoyed.
One final thought. I've actually seen forensic investigators turn up at a crime scene and they wear these all in one white jump suits, covered footwear (like surgeons do) and face masks. Why? So they don't compromise the scene. That long blonde hair of Cally's must get everywhere at a crime scene, but you never see any of the CSIs bagging and tagging blonde hairs for later DNA analysis only to discover it was one of their own shedding over everything. It's a bit silly.
As I said, I do like this show and am somewhat entertained by it. But as for coming over as realistic and genuinely dramatic, it's become more and more of a let down as the seasons have passed.
Description of C.S.I. Miami - The Fifth Season
Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 10/30/2007The fifth season of CSI: Miami begins with revenge: Lead CSI Horatio Caine (David Caruso) and underwater recovery whiz Eric Delko (Adam Rodriguez) travel to Brazil to avenge the murder of Horatio's wife Marisol (who was Eric's sister). While there, Horatio also helps his sister-in-law and nephew after his brother is murdered by drug lords. (Never mind that the crime-fighting duo seem to have carte blanche to do as they like in a foreign country.) The scenes are beautifully shot and the rhythm of the first few episodes are reminiscent of classic Miami Vice. The most stylistic--and hammy--show in the CSI franchise, CSI: Miami is driven by Caruso's quiet delivery. Never one to get overly excited, Horatio rarely exhibits more than a shy smile or a whispery threat. In this season, two CSIs--Ryan Wolfe (Jonathan Togo) and Natalia Boa Vista (Eva La Rue) face professional and personal problems that could threaten their jobs, while Horatio himself battles a recurring nemesis who always seems to be one step ahead of him. The crimes range from an apparent death by grizzly bear to what looks like an off-shore betting pool dealing with celebrity deaths. After solving the latter case, ballistics expert Calleigh Duquesne (Emily Procter) observes that "Somebody will always think it's easy to make [money]." Taking his classic hands on hips stance, Horatio says, "But we know different, don't we?" Considered smarmy by some, and dreamy by others, Caruso is a love-him-or-hate-him kind of actor. While he doesn't have the depth of William Petersen (star of the original CSI), his preening works in the context of the glitzier CSI: Miami. All 24 episodes, which originally ran during 2006-2007, are included in this six-disc set. Extras include a six-minute look at the actors' wardrobe and a 25-minute documentary hosted by Togo that explores the similarities (and differences) between real and fictional forensic experts. Also, gamers will get a kick out of the CSI: Hard Evidence PC game that comes with the DVD box set. --Jae-Ha Kim
