However, Horatio Caine is a more likeable character than Gil Grissom, which is what the writers to the respective shows intended. Overall, the supporting cast is stronger on LV than M, mainly because we know more about them. The only way we know about Yelena for instance on CSI is because she's related to Horatio.Caruso's biggest problem is that he has Caine coming off as TOO caring and concerned. I can't see any law enforcement officer being so soulful about EVERY dead person they find justice for. Same problem with Khandi Alexander (Alex), who talks to every corpse like it's still alive. It's a great characterization trick for a few times, but EVERY DARNED SHOW?  :\ The other positive about Las Vegas is that they DO have cases that go unsolved; sometimes, they have to let the bad guy walk. I can only remember ONE case where it happened on Miami (girl shoots an obnoxious guy at from a beachside theater viewing).But when it comes to the originality of cases, the supporting cast, and the storylines, I'm giving LV the thumbs up. Both are entertaining shows, but CSI is the stronger of the two.</blockquote>
