CSI: Miami (TV Series) Spring Breakdown (2010) User Reviews

Satisfying

[bonheura · 8/10 · 12 March 2022]

Three young people have the time of their life at a Spring Break. They all turn up dead the next morning, separately, and our team who investigates the crimes soon find out that they're all connected.

Turns out -spoiler alert- that they all have been killed by a beautiful brunette who was savagely bullied a year ago, when she was blond and fat.

Horatio asks her "was it worth spending the rest of your life in prison" to what she answers yes.

Of course it was. Any people who suffered under the hands of these popular brats would think so. They think they'll get away with it and they often do. You dream to ruin their life, to humiliate them, to have revenge on them for what they did and it never happens of course because you have all your senses.

This episode was very satisfying to watch because the bad guys get what they mostly deserved (well maybe not to die). So does the killer, who goes to prison. Hopefully this is all fiction.

The final scene is poignant. Was it really worth it after all?

Three Murders For The Price Of One

[ccthemovieman-1 · 8/10 · 27 April 2011]

Three different murders occur, all in an area of a wild Spring Break down in Florida. One man is found buried with just his head above the sand, another impaled on a statue and with a big hole in his chest from a flare gun and a third found dead in a mega-washing machine!

Ah, just another day for the members of the CSI: Miami team. Always expect the bizarre on this show.

Can be murderers be connected or is this just a bad, bad night among the drunken college-age revelers? Well, a lot of things - as usual - aren't as they first seem and to say too much would ruin it for those who have not seen this wild-and-very interesting episode.

Good episode, don't miss it.

Some useless reviews here. This is a good CSI episode to watch. In an age with cyber-bullying is still present this episode is still relevant.

In the episode the girl said she pressed charges, some time ago, on her bullies, exactly what charges I'm not sure. No doubt the 3 bullies were complete losers and scumbags. Of course they didn't deserve to die but when Horatio asks the murderer -"was it worth spending the rest of your life in prison" She relishes in answering yes.

Of course she does. She's been planning to kill them for years. The poor girl really didn't think everything through, her rage and revenge obsessed her the years following her bullying. That is pretty sad. It's also a good lesson the show displays here.

The ending is excellent because it shows her smug smile walking out of the police station handcuffed off to jail, where the scene continues with her smiling right into her jail cell but her smile quickly fades to sadness and she sits and we see she has turned back into the girl who got bullied.

I think the show is trying to tell us you are always the same person inside no matter what you look like on the outside. Clearly this girl is realizing she made a grave mistake, which she will be paying for and reflecting on the rest of her life.

Great, emotional episode when you look at it from a whole.

The most boring Spring Break!

[shoei · 3/10 · 10 January 2011]

Ah, the joy of the spring break! This episode is the most boring one I've ever seen, it's just bored and nothing new in it! Let us recall: 11 seasons of "CSI," 9 seasons of "CSI NY," 7 seasons of "CSI: Miami," this is really the most boring spring break! Talk about spring break and many episodes have been shown, so many murders occurred, murderers, and in this episode we got three bodies, at last for the CSI Team eventually found related the three of them. Three people died, for what? Because of the fat girl were humiliated, she lost weight, maybe had some cosmetic surgeries, changed name and moved for one's only: revenge!

Hmmm...let us recall that in: "CSI: NY" S4:E19, "Personal Foul", removed the time: spring break, and the scenes with beach front hotel, isn't the plot very familiar? BINGO! Moreover, the set of New York, the creativity and ingenuity of murder, the detection of story line, and way the story had been told, all were far more better than Miami: this spring break episode. The fat girl got revenge in NY is much more interesting, ingenuity than the fat girl in Miami!

Seekingrevenge for the three original "partners in crime/victims" while they were getting mellow with drink, the girl came forward to them and showed her true face, then sent them to the death, to get even. A young women as a cheerleader, under the thousands of watching eyes of the court, who kissed the "lucky guy" and then the audiences saw that the poison "lucky guy" he fell dead. Which one is more innovative and attractive? Which path of puzzle solving is more interesting and fascinating? Which key to a puzzle was revealed that would make people think: OH! That is CSI! The original CSI style!

And the problem, needless to say, "three bodies in a day" and the team amazingly broke the whole case just in the same very day: finding facts, analyzing evidences/DNA/sources, searching warrants...etc., it is meant to fool the audiences again, saying that CSI team is a group of supermen/superwomen, it only take one day and they can immediately solve the cases? YAWN...it's a really boring spring break in Miami! Hah!

Whats the big deal?

[Resi-Novak · 5/10 · 13 April 2010]

This is the first time I've ever watched a "CSI" show in full. Chelsea Hobbs & Cassie Scerbo of brought me to check out this particular episode and while i felt their performances were more than up to par. all i could think was...whats the big deal? This show really isn't that great in comparison to its competitors. I understand the forensics thing is big right now, but they put way too much emphasis on the scientific motions CSI goes through and most people don't truly understand what they are doing. Bones is a show that does this very well and explains every aspect of it. The detectives in this show seemed half of that of any in Law & Order, while i found myself wondering why they weren't checking certain leads & going through way more work than they needed to. This would have been a great chance for CSI to draw a rogue viewer into their world. Not only did they not do that, but they completely turned me off to it. Hmmm, maybe my Aunt would enjoy this show, but not me. Feel the same way? Suggestions would be...

Any Law & Order Bones Southland Justified
