Miami Vice- the best cop show on DVD? March 8, 2007

Whilst born in the 80s, I grew up in the 90s, so was never able to experience this great show when it was first run. or second, third, fourth or fifth come to think of it. Instead I discovered it because I took a gamble and bought it off the back of an advert I saw on TV for it.

Vice

THE best cop show ever in my opinion. This was groundbreaking stuff for the 80s, the camera work, the acting and combination of grittiness and glamour all rolled into one makes this a must own box set. The first series is amazing, Crockett and Tubbs are an awesome duo, both of them have so many levels, especially Crockett. The sunny beaches are also an amazing backdrop for the show. Music is also such an important part of the show, the scene where Phil Collins’ In The Air Tonight plays as Crockett and Tubbs are on their way to a showdown is so powerful and one that sends shivers down your spine. The Ferrari Daytona is just pure sexiness, although I think its better suited to Miami’s glamour than mid-England where I’m writing this from. Nothing to do with the fact that I’m a penniless student and can’t afford one. In the UK the first two series are out on DVD and in the US the first FOUR are, lucky so and so’s.

Here is THAT scene in the Daytona…
