Are You Old Enough to Remember Miami Vice?
It was widely hyped when it started. My wife and I were newlyweds, and it charmed us from the pilot. Dark but very realistic portrayal of the savagery of drug dealing and interdiction with spectacular use of cameras and music. I just watched the pilot again on NBC.com, where it is free with a few annoying ads. It still overwhelms me with its artistry.
My wife and I were just beginning to date when Miami Vice came out.

ReplyDeleteJohnson was very underrated as an actor. The music was also outstanding.
ReplyDeleteI watched a bit of it at the time and I thought it was lame, with awful music.
ReplyDeleteJeff is a heretic! To the stake he goes.
ReplyDeleteBe careful! You might trip over your dress shoes with no socks.
