Negative Positive
Title: "You ever consider a career in Southern law enforcement?"
Review: If there's a TV show in the 80's that made a helluva impression on me, it was Miami Vice. Shows today like CSI (esp. CSI: Miami), the short-lived series Fastlane (still irritated that Fox cancelled it, but I digress), and most dramas are the way they are now due to how Miami Vice was produced back then by Michael Mann. The look he gave was distinct and slick. The background music, from Jan Hammer's trademark theme song and underlying score thoughout, and the use of well-known (and even some obscure) music artists throughout the series. The writing was top-notch, so this show was more than just "gloss". My only quibble is that I wish they had cleaned up some of the grime I see on transfer, though the quality is much better than the reruns you see, and the use of 5.1 surround is a definite plus. I can't wait to see Season 2 soon!
