This series is largely remembered for the stylish clothes Detectives Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs wore, the soundtrack, and its distinct visuals. But beneath the veneer is a surprisingly dark cop show. The cocaine boom of the 1980s framed many stories about drugs and murder, with Crockett and Tubbs often resorting to violence in the course of their work.

For the first three years, Miami Vice earned its now-renowned status...With its cinematic sensibility, charming anti-heroes and existential montages, it paved the way for our golden age of deluxe cable TV. Go to Full Review Diane Holloway Austin American-Statesman 01/09/2021
It's still a better series than a lot of shows that are on the air. Cinematically, it's still exciting. Johnson may be overrated as a sex symbol, but he's a good actor and more interesting to watch than guys like Stacy Keach or Fred Dryer. Go to Full Review Stax IGN Movies 05/24/2018
