Profile of Miami Vice

The mood of Miami Vice is stylized, exciting, and rough. The plot centers around working undercover, partners against crime, and drug dealing. It is a drama, crime, and action TV show. Stylistically, Miami Vice is neo-noir. In approach, it is serious and realistic. The setting is Miami. Miami Vice happens in the 1980s. The musical score is pop and rock. The TV show is known for being groundbreaking, a hit series, and a Golden Globe winner. Miami Vice is especially suggested for a boys' night. Note that it includes drugs/alcohol and violent content.

Summary of Miami Vice

One of the most popular television shows of the 1980s, Miami Vice helped define the fashion and music of the period while simultaneously maintaining a high quality police drama standard. The show is famous for its pastel colors and bright south Florida settings, which serve to counteract the sleaze its main characters often had to deal with. Sonny and Rico are two cops who work undercover for the Miami Police Department. They must balance their myriad personal problems with the difficulty of being undercover in some of Miami's most rotten criminal businesses. Luckily, upbeat 80s music, and their own personal sense of cool, help. Miami Vice made a short-lived star out of Don Johnson, who eventually won a Golden Globe for his portrayal of Sonny, and supporting star Edward James Olmos (as a police captain) won both the Golden Globe and an Emmy. Miami Vice is a fascinating cultural document of the 1980s as well as an effective and exciting cop show.
