«A representation of the American dream»
CSI Miami is, according to Reuters, "the most-watched U.S. series around the world", and one can easily understand why.
American TV shows have been a vehicle used to spread and promote the American way of life (occasionally while glorifying it) for years. In my opinion, no other show conveys the essence of the American dream better than CSI Miami - and that's the source of its phenomenal success.
Police work and life in general have never looked so attractive and fulfilling; Florida, what a beautiful land, even more when all the females you ever get to see (cast members or random passers-by) are top models. The cars the police officers drive are fancy Hummers, the equiptment used for the CSI work is always on the top of the line. Most of the crimes are committed in the best and wealthiest neighborhoods, mostly by - you must have guessed - handsome/beautiful, charming and occasionally rich criminals. The poor victims seem almost good looking on their deathbeds. Add to that the amazing speed in which justice is served (usually within 40 minutes), and you get the most easily watched syndicated program in the history of television.
It should be noted that the creators of the show do not shy away from planting the expected crimes in places in which sometimes the most unusual, disturbing and bizarre types of behaviors found within the American society happen; from getaway promiscuous parties for bored wives, to arranged dates for men with shameless gold diggers going to one night stand meetings for men and willing women, and so forth. These outrageous and often sensational plot contexts undoubtly contribute to the appeal of the series no less than all the other elements.
The entertainment-value of the final outcome is undisputable. I've seen many episodes and was never bored or indifferent. The stories are interesting, engaging and fast-paced. David Caruso, the leading actor, plays well, has the necessary charisma and is famous for employing special mannerisms like no other. Even so, there's a downsize; when everything is said and done, more often than not, there is no special memory left in mind, there isn't a deep lesson, moral or intellectual stimulation that leaves its mark. Not much remains other than the general atmosphere of things which is -- a sort of a representation or maybe a taste of the American dream.
