HEAT-WAVE! "CSI: MIAMI" SEASON TEN

I pity the fools who run into Calleigh (Emily Procter) and Horatio Caine (David Caruso). CSI: MIAMI continues in new episodes. Image: CBS PARAMOUNT.

In the ever glowing sun of Miami, Florida, relaxation is the normal preoccupation for the millions of holiday-makers who descend upon it to enjoy its glamorous beaches, scenery and nightlife. But for the residing CSI team that works within its hot climes, led by iconic bespectacled hero Horatio Caine (played by the inimitable David Caruso), there's no respite or time to smell the roses in their pursuit of the wicked, murderous and immoral-from all walks of life and lifestyle- that operate and thrive within its distinctive swampland borders. And thank goodness for that, too, as television would be a boring place without CSI: MIAMI and its glossy, almost psychedelic coloured cinematography, adrenalin paced editing and slightly absurd but always played with conviction comic book-esque storytelling. The series is currently showing classic episodes daily on the UK's channel FIVE as well as premiering new episodes every Tuesday night from Season Nine (which really has turned out to be a great improvement over the previous lackluster year, with much better use of the main cast and Horatio getting up to some serious bad-ass stuff again!). Lucky viewers in the US, however, are now onto Season Ten-yes, the show has gone on for that long!- which its dedicated producers insist will be a "game changer" for the series and its main characters, and also sees in a new politically powerful, and very wealthy, baddie/antagonist for Horatio, as played by 24 ex-hero Carlos Bernard, for a major season story arc. As well as a more prominent return for the lovely Emily Procter, now back from real-life maternity leave as Calleigh Duquesne, look out for future plots involving the return of the man who killed Horatio's beloved Marisol (of which Alana De La Garza returns to play the part in flashbacks for the season opener), our heroes trying to save a crime scene during a lethal tornado, and a race against the clock for Natalia and Horatio to find an escaped killer. The lovely actress/model Natasha Henstridge also returns as FBI agent Renee Locklear- a possible new love interest for Horatio.

With the shows continued success, it looks like sunglasses manufacturers will be kept busy for a few more years yet! Classic clip: Jim Carrey does his legendary David Caruso/Horatio Caine impression:
