a5c7b9f00b Stubble-faced detective Crockett lived in a sailboat guarded by his alligator Elvis. His partner Tubbs was a black New York cop looking for his brother&#39;s killer. Together they took on the Florida drug world. The show influenced men&#39;s fashions toward Italo-casual and interior decor toward the Miami look. Very trendy music and unusual guest performers. Detective James &quot;Sonny&quot; Crockett and detective Ricardo &quot;Rico&quot; Tubbs, of the Miami-Dade police department&#39;s organized crime bureau vice unit, work deep undercoverseedy criminals to infiltrate and bring down the various criminal enterprises of southern Florida. Miami Vice was the defining show of the 1980s that thanks to be being so far ahead of it&#39;s day, still does not look dated today. <br/><br/>It works so well combining a good mix and background of characters, fast cars, shootouts, exotic locations, you name it, for escapist thrills Miami Vice had it all.<br/><br/>The suits, boats and cars provided to blend undercover with the opulent South Florida underworld provided the fun and glamour, but at the core, the team were completely straight and ultimately were dedicated to putting away the variety of bad guys they had to deal with.<br/><br/>Crockett and Tubbs were the coolest guys on the box, and still are, well supported by sexy Gina and Trudy, and the lighter touch of Switek and Zito. Undoubtedly the performance of the show was from Edward James Olmos&#39;man of few words&#39; Lt Castillo.<br/><br/>True there were some episodes (especially in later series) that were a bit hard to follow or just plain insane. But mostly the fix of sheer style and a ripping pace, spot on soundtrack, and the obligatory shoot out at the end, unusually killing the villain of the week, made for a top notch 40 minutes. I remember watching this show when I was younger. It gives me this nostalgic feeling whenever I watch it, reminding me of growing up lower-middle class here in Florida. I also like Edward James Olmos, he rocks in his own right. As I used to say back when this show was still on, &quot;totally rad!&quot;
