User Reviews

Simply the worst

The writing for CSI/Miami has never been particularly good. The show has always leaned heavily on Miami's beautiful scenery (of various sorts) to sustain its appeal. That said, many episodes have had adequate writing. This is not one of them. Scripts for this show are often manipulated to cast Horatio Caine in an exaggerated hero's light, but seldom has this been attempted in such an obvious, mechanical, and sterile manner. The plotting of the story line is considerably more hackneyed than normal. The characters are equally wooden and lifeless regardless of whether or not they are slated for autopsy. The acting efforts of both Jill Flint and Bo Derek are completely wasted, since they have been saddled with dialog and direction that must have required ipecac to regurgitate.
