Storyline

Horatio Caine, a former homicide detective, heads a group of investigators who work crimes amid the steamy, tropical surroundings and cultural crossroads of Miami. His team includes Calleigh Duquesne, a bilingual Southern beauty with a specialty in ballistics; Tim Speedle, a cocky yet disarming investigator who is well connected on the street, and Eric Delko, an underwater recovery expert who knows all the twists and turns of the Florida waterways. Rounding out the team is Alexx Woods, the no-nonsense, know-it-all coroner. And, after Speedle is killed in Action, Former Patrolman Ryan Wolfe joins the team. Together, these investigators collect and analyze the evidence to solve the crimes and to vindicate those who often cannot speak for themselves -- the victims.

Goofs

"The CSI Effect": CSI's and detectives sometimes pick up a weapon with a handkerchief or by inserting a pencil in the barrel. In real life, the handkerchief might contaminate possible DNA evidence, and the pencil would destroy microscopic markings inside the barrel, making it difficult to match the weapon to slugs retrieved from a victim's body or a crime scene. Instead experts recommend holding a weapon in place with gloved fingertips and sliding a thin, stiff sheet of plastic beneath it.

Emily Schloctor, The Prostitute Medical Examiner, and Dr. Cool !!

Would you believe a stone-faced unnatural blonde in spike heels, a low-cut top and a push-up bra? She's a "real crime investigator" in the "real world" of Miami. Isn't she? When she opens her mouth to speak, your ears are assaulted with a squeaky, winy, nasal monotony falling from a face covered with so much paint that it rivals that of Bozo The Clown. You keep watching with anticipation that she just might smile. And if she did, what would happen? Maybe her face would crack and the first five layers would fall off onto her spiky heeled boots, contaminating the crime scene. She enters the crime scene lab and puts on her white lab coat. Leaving it unbuttoned and open as to keep her cleavage well exposed to the air, (it must be hot in Miami) she pulls out a slide and places it under the microscope. The hippest of music starts to play as her camera-like eye probes through the lens, searching, investigating, not missing an atom or a microbe. What does she see? What is it that her brilliant Einstein-like mind has wrapped itself around? She must be a genius, or at least some kind of superior being. Isn't she?

How about a Medical Examiner that looks and carries herself like a prostitute? She also wears tight, low-cut tops and push-up bras as well as 10lbs of makeup. She has conversations with corpses, calling them "Sugar" and "Honey". She softly touches them and at certain points you are almost certain she is going to crawl on top of them! Maybe she'll have to in order to find out the "real cause of death". "You poor sweetheart", she smiles at the corpse. "What is it that you're trying to tell me?"

What if we added a guy who is so cool that your beer would chill while he handed it to you? Hands propped on his hips in a riveting stance, sunglasses ablaze, he scans the crime scene. Now here is a "real" man in the real world of Miami. "They're not going to get away with it"! And they never do! Just like his platinum blonde sidekick, he never smiles. He can't. His life and work are far too serious for such infantile trivialities. He's got a crime scene and it's a real bad situation, especially with bloody, decapitated, bullet-ridden, hacked-up corpses lying all over the place and a horny Medical Examiner crawling all over them.

Would you believe any of this? This is CSI Miami.
