Don't get me wrong, I do like the New York spin-off. Again, as with the Miami series, I wasn't so sure that it would be any good but when I watched it, I thought it was definitely worthy like the other two series.
I love the characters. They are completely different and unique to the city and none of the characters feel like they had been copied from the other series which is good. The actors are convincing in their roles and interesting as well. I again, like the fact that you are spoon fed little pieces of information about the characters through out the series but I sometimes feel in some instances, they could go into a lot more detail then they do.
The crimes are new and relevant to that city and as I come from the UK, it is nice learning about the cities featured in the series.
The only other problem I have with the programme is the location of New York as the setting for the show. To me, I think that New York has been done to death with all the crime shows that have been done using the city as its base. The producers, to me, picked a predictable location. I would have liked to have seen the show based somewhere that no one would have thought of such as New Orleans, Arizona or Seattle, for example.
I think the cast are just brilliant and I am just as absorbed in them as the other two shows. I would like the show to go on for more seasons and to get to explore more of the characters work and home lives. I think a lot more can be shown of characters such of Mac Taylor (Gary Sinise), Stella Bonasera (Melina Kanakaredes), Danny Messer (Carmine Giovinazzo), Dr. Sheldon Hawkes (Hill Harper), Lindsay Monroe (Anna Belknap) and Det. Don Flack (Eddie Cahill).
