The second spinoff from CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and was introduced during an episode of CSI: Miami when Horatio Caine journeyed to New York City in pursuit of a murder suspect who fled Miami. It is much bloodier than the Miami version, and was filmed in a hard blue light until Season 2, when CBS President Les Moonves wanted to make the show appear "less cold".
Great but not my cup of tea. Good but not good enough. Just plain bad. Cancelled too soon to tell. Not enough hours in the day. Shows I tried and abandoned.
