jhtg Miami vice is cool and action packed. I grew up watching this show in my late 20s when it got home after working at A.C.W garden center. I am now a 59 year old art teacher but istill watch it. it ran for 5 seasons and was the most watched show in the world not just I the U.S.A I live i Bradford Yorkshire and people could not stop talking about this show even after it ended. my mum watched it, my Gran watched it,my aunt who lived in Skipton in the middle of the Yorkshire countryside watched it, everyone I knew watched it. every time I watch it I feel like I am took back to the 80s. it action, its music, its plots and its set makes it best show on TV. forget game of thrones and breaking bad. this is the best show on TV.

Freedom_of_Sin If you want to see a good 80s action show, then don't waste time with Miami Vice. Watch A-Team or MacGyver instead. This crap is just plain boring. I got confused whether this is an action show or a soap opera. Storytelling and characters are weak to begin with. It tries to be funny while it's not. It is just stupid. Like this crocodile $hit - it is not funny at all. A bunch of pointless scenes and pointless dialogue - most of time, you won't understand who or what a certain episode is about. Miami Vice just sucks. Retards watch Miami Vice. Cool people watch Walker Texas Ranger and Renegade - real action shows. And music? It makes me throw up. What kind of a sore loser would enjoy this crap? Bad plots, weak characters, mediocre actors - Miami Vice is 45 minutes of pain and suffering, plus bad soundtrack. After watching through the entire first season, I could neither sympathize with the characters nor feel any emotion towards them, or their "adventures". Miami Vice is not the type of show I'd watch over and over again. It simply leaves me bored and indifferent.

TellMeAboutTheGolfShoes Miami Vice was and still is the best TV show ever made in my opinion. The clothes, cars, music and Miami backgrounds are just perfect in this series.Season 1 kicks off with an excellent pilot episode and never looks back until maybe late in the season where there are a few 'meh' episodes. Early on the series focuses more on the police work than the glitz of Miami, but that changes after a few episodes. I liked both types of epsiodes really. In this season Jan Hammer is on fire, the scenery is awesome, Johnson & Thomas are at their best and the colors used are perfect. And I think this is by far the best season of the series.Best Episodes: "Smuggler's Blues", "The Great McCarthy", "Brother's Keeper". Worst Episodes: "Made for Each Other", "Give a Little, Take a Little", "Nobody Lives Forever".Season 2 is much like Season 1 style-wise. But I think the music here is even better than what it was in the first season, Jan Hammer is on fire throughout the entire season, especially the season opener "The Prodigal Son". My favorite Vice episode "Out Where the Buses Don't Run" also has the my favorite Vice moment, the long drive through the city while Dire Straits' Brothers in Arms plays in the background. This is also the season where Lt. Castillo established himself as my favorite TV character of all time.Best Episodes: "Out Where the Buses Don't Run", "The Prodigal Son", "One-Way Ticket" Worst Episodes: "Tale of the Goat", "Free Verse", "Little Miss DangerousSeason 3 is definitely a different season. Some of the episodes are much darker than they were in the previous season (e.g. "Forgive Us Our Debts). Crockett's Spider is gone and is replaced with a Testarossa (which I like more than the Spider), his pastel clothes are gone and the show gets a different kind of soundtrack. The pop tunes are gone and Hammer has his worst season as the primary musician for the series. It's not all bad though, some of the episodes actually benefit from the lack of music, and the chance for more storytelling.Best Episodes: "Shadow in the Dark", "The Good Collar", "Down for the Count: Part 1" Worst Episodes: "Streetwise", "Lend Me an Ear", "By Hooker, By Crook"Season 4 is the worst of the bunch. I mean there are some very good episodes here, but some of the episodes are just jokes. Tubbs' beard is also the worst decision they made style-wise for the show. And that didn't even matter much with the amount of screen time he lost to Crockett. About half of the episodes in this season focus solely on Crockett. Luckily this season picks up toward the end, and ends in an excellent performance by Jan Hammer and a cliffhanger ending.Best Episodes: "Mirror Image", "Child's Play", "Like a Hurricane" Worst Episodes: "Missing Hours, "Amen... Send Money", "The Cows of October"Season 5 is a very consistent season. Not a lot of classic episodes, but not a lot of bad ones either. Jan Hammer is replaced by Tim Truman, whose sound is more guitar heavy than the synth-driven songs of Hammer. Truman does a surprisingly good job, but falls short of Hammer's earlier performances. This season ends the series extremely well, seeing the final scene again actually made me cry for the first time in like 10 years and I'm a grown ass man. Just breathtaking.Best Episodes: "Freefall", "Line of Fire", "To Have and To Hold" Worst Episodes: "The Cell Within", "Miracle Man", "Jack of All Trades"The only show I can think of that even comes close to the awesomeness of this series is HBO's The Wire. Very different in style than Miami Vice, but still an excellent show. I recommend it to everyone.

antoniopardi7692 In my humble opinion, Miami Vice is one of the best TV shows ever to hit the small screen.When I first saw Miami Vice on TV, I was immediately hooked. Never in my life had I seen such a glamorous and cool series. There were a lot of things that drew me in. The following are a few.Speaking from a technical point of view, Miami Vice was clearly well ahead of its time. Apart from being brilliantly acted, Miami Vice also boasts a lot of action and stylish sequences. However, the element that stands out the most is, without any doubt, the music. In fact, Miami Vice is known to have been the first to make extensive use of popular songs at the time and integrate them into the show. In this respect, one can not but mention the unforgettable "In the Air Tonight" sequence. Also worthy of mention are the clothes used in the show which helped to define 80's fashion. Furthermore, the show also sported a lot of fast cars such as a Ferrari Daytona Spider, a Ferrari Testarossa, Cadillacs and Lamborghinis.By way of conclusion, I believe that everyone should give Miami Vice a shot as I think it is still one of the best TV series ever produced, even when compared with present TV shows, let alone at the time it was created.
