CSI: Miami follows the crime scene investigators working for the Miami Dade Police Department as they use physical evidence to solve grisly murders. The series mixes deduction, gritty subject matter and character-driven drama in the same vein as the original CSI franchise, except that the Miami investigators are cops first, scientists second.

Spun-off from the insanely successful "vanilla" CSI series, CSI: Miami quickly burrowed its way into viewers' hearts with an iconic cold open shtick that was trotted out for every episode.
Broken down into a formula, it goes: grisly crime scene is discovered, Horatio Caine (David Caruso) puts on his sunglasses and makes a glib one-liner about the murder, "Won't Get Fooled Again" by The Who kicks in with a glorious shriek of "Yeeaaaaaah!", and it just never gets old. Though you could argue that it wasn't as popular or successful as its forebear (CSI managed 15 seasons compared to Miami's 10), what we have here is some damn fine police procedural entertainment.
Much like their Las Vegas-based contemporaries, this Floridian team of forensic investigators uses bleeding-edge science and good old-fashioned hunches to run down some of the most mind-bending murders imaginable. Basically, an impossibly cool former homicide detective heads a team of sleuths who work crimes amid the steamy tropical surroundings and cultural crossroads of Miami.
Honestly, this series has aged incredibly well and it's easy to see why it was one of the major cornerstones of CBS's primetime schedule for a solid decade.
