Season One of CSI: Miami

Introduced as part of a regular season episode of the top-rated drama series, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, CSI: MIAMI premiered on the CBS Television Network September 23, 2002.  The premiere received the highest rating of any network drama in the past eight years and garnered a People’s Choice Award for Best New Drama Series.

 A fast-paced forensics drama set against the lush backdrop and pulsing rhythms of the southernmost U.S. metropolis, CSI: MIAMI follows a South Florida team of investigators who use cutting-edge forensics and police work to solve crimes.

Led by Lieutenant Horatio Caine (David Caruso), the Miami-Dade Crime Scene Investigators work amid the steamy, tropical surroundings and cultural crossroads of Miami.  Caine, a former bomb squad detective, often relies on a mix of gut instinct and the forensic evidence presented by each case.

 

The Miami-Dade CSI team also includes Calleigh Duquesne (Emily Procter), a bilingual Southern beauty with a specialty in ballistics; Tim Speedle (Rory Cochrane), a cocky-yet- disarming investigator who is well connected on the street, and Eric Delko (Adam Rodriguez), an underwater recovery expert who knows all the twists and turns of the Florida waterways.  Rounding out the team are Alexx Woods (Khandi Alexander), the no-nonsense medical examiner with a special sensitivity for the departed victims, and Lt. Yelina Salas (Sofia Milos), the widow of Horatio’s brother, Raymond.

 Together the investigators of CSI: MIAMI collect and analyze the evidence to defend the memory of those who often cannot speak for themselves – the victims.
