60 of 319 · most liked firsti bought a blu ray box set of MIAMI VICE and so i'm watching the whole series from the beginning. philip michael thomas is so good looking it is genuinely insane that he would be cast as a new york cop.
positive · AI labelView post →I wrote about TV's Miami Vice, which debuted 40 years ago this month, and interviewed most of the principal architects of the medium-altering pilot episode, including Michael Mann and Jan Hammer: www.vulture.com/article/why-...
neutral · AI labelView post →I just heard the theme from Miami Vice and whilst I realise how dated the show is and I’d probably not watch it now, it did remind me how once upon a time America seemed so cool and exotic, rather than psychopathic and scary.
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm not in any Starter Packs (I barely know what that is) but I am going to try and be here more often, I think, so I'm on the lookout for old mutuals and things of that nature. If you don't know me I: write about movies, interview directors you love, show my gf Miami Vice, all that good stuff 👍
neutral · AI labelView post →An average episode of a show like Miami Vice or The X-Files has such robust, expressive camera movement & lighting. This is work that wasn't even going to completely come across on the TVs available at the time. The people who made these shows gave a fuck.
positive · AI labelView post →Water drugs??? We call them water drugs??? What the fuck does that even mean? I have never ever ever heard the term 'water drugs' and I just finished the entire Miami Vice series for the 3rd time

neutral · AI labelView post →I once made a YouTube series in which I analyzed every ep of Miami Vice, and I have many semi-hostile comments on my videos from dudes saying, "I've never met any female who liked Miami Vice!", which is just surreal, because the only people I knew in the 1980s who loved MV were teen girls like me.
neutral · AI labelView post →Miami Vice is such an insane tv show, they would walk niggas down set to Peter Gabriel - Biko
positive · AI labelView post →I think my podcast recording about Michael Mann’s MANHUNTER yielded two episodes because we talked about a lot of material including Mann updates, Miami Vice (the series), Red Dragon, Dino DeLaurentiis and various Hannibals… so a two-parter then, out in a few days

neutral · AI labelView post →Watched an episode of Miami Vice was eating lunch. really dumbass show, but lots of fun. I lived just north of Miami when it was on the air!

positive · AI labelView post →I mean, you can still enjoy Dynasty or Cheers or Miami Vice or whatever, but actually watch a few episodes back-to-back with one of those series. It’s like setting a child’s finger painting next to a Velasquez.
negative · AI labelView post →I just finished a revisit of Miami Vice. This final scene always gets me. It was not only the conclusion of my favorite tv series but also the 80's were coming to an end. The many ups and downs of adulthood weren't far away.

I am old enough that I watched it as it was broadcast, and it was unlike anything that had been done on TV before. I don't even know how Lynch got it made. It landed like a bombshell in the midst of sanitized pap. It was gritty and played with sex, drugs, and evil in a way that made shows like Miami Vice look vapid. It may seem like half…
