Neon.I remember the theme music but didn't watch/understand Miami Vice.
I think it's on Hulu. At least here in the US. I have no idea if Hulu differs based on country.Any streaming platforms have it?
There are some very strong, unexpected pieces of character development in that series.Actually, under all the glitz, Miami Vice had more depth than most 80s shows. Pretty much half the episodes end very darkly, it's made very clear that the fight against drugs is a losing battle. The cops themselves are traumatised wrecks from failed marriages, rape and seeing friends and loved ones murdered. Two of the main characters die for real during the show, one in a pretty gruesome way.
Not just intrinsic, inseparable in some cases. Glen Frey’s “Smuggler’s Blues” was turned into a script for the show...in which Mr. Frey played a major character.Miami Vice also paved the way for big money in television, and was the first show to use current popular music as an intrinsic part of the show. The scene in the opening episode with "In The Air Tonight" playing has become pretty iconic.
You don't have it, or it's not available in NZ?We don't have Hulu.
(shrugs) Their blurb says thousands of movies, TV shows.... So I assume they've got something. But as I don't have a subscription I couldn't tell you how old/what.Do they do older movies at all?
And yet, for all of that, there was actually very little blood. I remember quite specifically a scene in which one of the "bloody" killings occurred; a single spot of blood, from a bullet wound, on an otherwise spotless Panama Suit.Actually, under all the glitz, Miami Vice had more depth than most 80s shows.

It's definitely worth watching, though.
