Review of Dishonor

CSI: Miami: Dishonor (2010)
Season 8, Episode 18
4/10
Cultural details of the story doesn't add up.
3 February 2013
This was the first episode of this show that I saw. At the first look, the CSI officer's good looking outfits capture my attention. Then the supper clean work environment and empty glass shelves of their laboratories. Then casual interrogation with the suspects which were more like a chat with their family lawyers. On the positive side, the story unfolds in an accepting manner and you can easily follow how they discover the facts. The concept of arranged marriage is still an accepted tradition among some families from middle eastern countries. And still some (dis)honoring related murders happens among some uneducated and strictly religious or tradition-oriented families. But the Faroogh family portrait in this show are far more high class than a family that I expect these actions from. As a guy from middle east, I had a hard time figuring out which country is the Faroogh family from. The names and clothes selection and the accents were implying a high class Pakistanian family. Then suddenly some Farsi word appears in the documents recovered from the crime scene. Then some more hints to Iranian heritage of the father of the family. It seems to me that for the writers and directors of this episode didn't bother even asking the Iranian actor of this episode about these details, which is an indication of the ignorance toward details.

This lack of attention to the details of the show was the most annoying part. At least for me and my wife.
