Narrative

In a world of nasty crimes, only one man can ensure that the women of Miami continue to be able to wear bikinis and sunbathe without corpses washing ashore. That man... wears sunglassses.
Yeeeeeeaaaaaahhhhhhh!
Spinoff from CSI, set in Miami. Horatio Caine (played by David Caruso) takes the role of the guy spouting the Grissom One Liner, which he always does
 after putting his sunglasses on. Horatio differs from Grissom by being a complete and utter unrepentant dick.
(For the most part, that is. Caine has been seen to treat children kindly and affectionately, especially if they've just survived some horrible accident or crime - but pretty much any adult who crosses Caine's path, other than one of his fellow castmembers, seems to be automatically and permanently under suspicion. To be fair, he's seldom wrong in this attitude.)
The show uses its Miami setting to tell different stories to its Vegas counterpart, namely more water-based mysteries, i.e. dead people on boats and stories involving people fleeing Cuba.
One of the show's oddities is Alexx The Coroner, who likes to go "Oh, poor baby" or words to that effect over the corpse of the week.
Other characters include Calleigh Duquesne, known as the "bullet girl", Ryan Wolfe (always referred to by Horatio as "Mr. Wolfe") and Eric Delko, whose intensely drippy sister had a brief marriage to Mr. Caine before getting introduced to a firearm.
Probably what would result if the writers of Starsky and Hutch were told 'Stop that! This is serious, goddammit!'.
Strictly speaking this is an ensemble show, like the other CSIs, but one character dominates the show.
