Miami Vice: The Complete Series

Miami Vice: The Complete Series Review

I haven't watched this show since it was on in the 80's and rewatching it after more than 20 years has been so enjoyable. This show was so well made, film, camera work, acting of the leads. Some of the stand alone episodes weren't that great but this is always the case of any long running show. Don Johnson was brilliant as Sonny Crockett and I always enjoyed Phillip Michael Thomas as Ricardo Tubbs. The two actors played so well together.
There are suggestions that Don Johnson was a prima donna but when you watch this show, you do realise that he was the perfect actor for the role and simply did push the quality of the show up. I love Edward James Olmos as Castillo. He and Don Johnson played really well off of each other.

This show defined what was happening at the time and was very reflective of the indulgent mentality of the 80's and it has been an absolute pleasure watching it again. This is a show that truly does stand the test of time. Watch this and, excepting the development in film technology now, I think you would be hard pressed to name 6 shows today that could match up to the quality of work that was "Miami Vice".
