Dedicated to the classic 80s TV show.
Feel free to post anything related to the show, or "Vice Culture". 80's music, cars, style, and, of course, the world of Sonny Crockett and Rico Tubbs.

I am born in 1994, so that clearly makes me no original to watching the real show on television back in the 1980's. However. when I was 10 years of age, in 2004, I got my Playstation 2 with at the time the hottest game to have: GTA: Vice City. Man was I blown away by the graphics back then and how dynamic the world seemed to be (sorry but Red Dead Redemption 2 really took that title from GTA VC now but anyway).
Since GTA Vice City was my first game I played it for hours and hours and hours on. I just could not get enough and it the music and vibe was soo good to my soul. I just can not describe the edge of that feeling but I did not get any of that feeling from let's say something in the 1990's.
Fast forward to when I was 17 in 2011. I came, through PB, on the show Miami Vice. I just downloaded the first season because who knows it might just be crap (have not seen anything on youtube about it as well because I loved to jump into a new serie blindly). From the first 5 minutes I got turned off and just went back to playing games. What a shame.
A couple of weeks later on a drunken fridayevenig around 23.00 I started to give it another try somehow. That is when I finished episode one. Well everyone here knows probably that if you watched S1:E1, you will watch episode 2 as well. I fell asleep halfway episode 3. But on saturday I continued watching episode 3 and 4 and 5 untill 5 am. It caught me! The show, the vibe, the music, the ambiance. I can not really explain it into detail but the show had my by the balls. I felt all the characters as being so real. The emotions on the show where so good. Seeing Scarface as well, this made everything connect.
However even more friends of mine idolized GTA Vice City, none of them watched Miami Vice. In today's world where you can watch everything via Netflix etc. I feel it is a huge missed chance to re releasre Miami Vice on a Netflix kinda platform. What do you think?
It was in Season 3 "El Viejo". Willie did a good job in his role. Thoughts?
I believe there was a dancing child in it and the only other people were Tubbs, the seller and maybe Crockett.
Since my cinema app on firestick doesn't have the episodes in order and Idk how to actually pirate things without downloading viruses I looked for anywhere I could to stream miami vice so I could binge watch it in order. And since that doesn't look like an option I just decided to spend $20 and get the whole box set on DVD. Definitely a no brainer for the price. I popped the first disc in my ancient playstation 2 and well... that dusty old turd has a hard time reading games these days and it wouldn't read the DVD disc at all. So I guess it's time to go find a decent DVD player unfortunately. Maybe I'll drop by some pawn shops today's
I was reading about this earlier, a 24 year old James Norris travelled down to Inglis/Tampa with several thousand on him to buy drugs and make a lot of money, he vanished and his remains were found a couple of years later.
The boys got luckier in that episode.
It would be cool to be in the same location where they filmed Miami Vice
Crockett and Tubbs, Gina et al
Hi MV Fans
As an OG fan of the TV show, I wanted to collect the best voice lines from the series into a Miami Vice soundboard. Would love to have your input on what other quotes to include. Any suggestions?
Out Where the Buses Don’t Run gets a lot of love - and deservedly so - but I vote “Forgive Us Our Debts as a close runner-up. Not a single wasted word or scene in this episode.
The guitar on the Jan Hammer tracks sounds a lot like the guitar on Glenn Frey's Smuggler's Blues. I assume Glenn Frey played on Smuggler's Blues, but IDK for sure. There are no other personnel credits on the album.
What are your thoughts on Doctor Odyssey so far (Don's latest TV show)?
When they are chasing down Liam neeson etc towards the end, there is some instrumental music- but I don’t think it’s any of the songs referred to on IMDb. Any ideas?
I know there was as a possible conflict using a real Ferrari Daytona in every episode. Although was the pilot episode a real one?
