Sure, I only watch it because it's one of a handful of shows that look stunning in high def, but that's a flimsy excuse for putting myself through CSI: Miami, which I watched last night because I completely shamelessly wanted to see pretty pictures of Brazil. And, um, Brazilians. Still, didn't this show once follow some sort of narrative structure -- you know, a plot and logical series of actions by protagonists and antagonists that could reasonably be interpreted by the average viewer? Do the show's writers expect people to believe that the first thing a person does when visiting Rio is strike five different David-Caruso poses by the big statue of Jesus? And then go back and do it some more? Or that Brazilian street thugs all look like they just stepped out of an alternate-world, Latin Abercrombie & Fitch catalog, dressed like they're about to break into a number from West Side Story?
Okay, that last one's probably true -- Brazilians are hot! -- but everything else is mindnumbingly awful. Man, I can't wait 'til Battlestar Galactica comes back.
