Matt and Vince leave New York behind to head to Miami's glam South Beach. Matt's chasing his fashion-model ex-girlfriend and will do whatever it takes to be involved in her new life, even though she has moved on. Meanwhile, the ambitious Vince uncovers the dangerous (and possibly seedy) underbelly of the city.
South Beach — Season 1

What to Know

Critics Consensus

The stars of South Beach seek a fresh start but find a dead end in a stilted series that offers nice vistas of Miami, but bears the depth of a postcard.

You can spend the rest of your time trying to figure out why the producers didn't just make a two-hour Miami music video - though in a sense they did, since there appears to be more time devoted to song than to speech. Go to Full Review Alessandra Stanley New York Times 03/09/2018
The show's subliminal message is even more appealing to today's youth than the lure of sex, drugs and hip-hop. Go to Full Review Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe 03/09/2018

1/5
It's not appropriate for kids. And with its predictable storylines and lack of character development, it's a waste of time for mature viewers, as well. Go to Full Review Rob Owen Pittsburgh Post-Gazette 03/09/2018
South Beach is filled with terrible dialogue ("Seeing you there on that stage, this is what you were meant to do," Matt tells Arielle), and it's populated by beautiful babes and buff hunks -- and not a brain to share among them. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
