Title: Phoning it in
Review: Lets be real. The high point of the creative Miami Vice was in seasons two and three after the show got rolling in season one. The dynamic creative energy began to slip in season four and by season five the combination of poor writing, actors phoning it in, and missing characters caught up with what was once THE most daring show on TV. The plots are silly. Castillo disappears halfway through the season, only to briefly reappear at the final episode. Don Johnson disappears for several of the final episodes and there is an outright awful pilot about pretty boy young undercover cops that must be endured to be seen. I tried to count up how many bad guys Crockett and Tubbs had killed in five years: just about most of Latin America. By season five you could tell the drug dealers because they were wearing the stupidest costumes that could be designed. You have to watch this dvd just for the laughs!
