To hear the opening beats of Jan Hammer's percussive, propulsive Miami Vice theme is to be instantly transported back to 1984. But this groundbreaking series, with its cinematic sensibility, cool clothes, and killer soundtrack is no mere blast from the past. It still rocks. This three-disc set would be worthless if it didn't. Music was an integral part of Miami Vice's hip vibe. The soundtrack propelled the stories and established the mood like no series before it. So the first thing you want to know is: Have the music rights been secured for this DVD release? In the pilot episode, does Phil Collins's "In the Air Tonight" still play ominously as vice undercover cops Crockett and Tubbs speed toward a bust? Does Eric Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight" serenade Sonny and Gina on his boat in the episode "One-Eyed Jack?" And what would the benchmark episode, "Smuggler's Blues" be without Glenn Frey's instant classic? From the Rolling Stones on a boombox to Elvis Presley singing "Rubberneckin'" on a TV, Vice's cutting-edge soundtrack has been preserved and honed in 5.1 surround sound glory.
Miami Vice made stars out of Don Johnson, Philip Michael Thomas, and Edward James Olmos, who won an Emmy as the intense, taciturn Lt. Castillo (watching him bust some martial arts moves in "Golden Triangle" is like Yoda cutting lose in Attack of the Clones), but the first season also offers time-capsule glimpses of actors on the cusp of stardom, including a pre-L.A. Law Jimmy Smits in the pilot, a pre-Crime Story Dennis Farina in "One-Eyed Jack," and a pre-Moonlighting Bruce Willis in "No Exit." Miami Vice put a neon sheen on cop-show convention. Its fashion sense (pastel suits, no belt, no socks), and the brilliantly employed freeze frames are still arresting. Miami Vice was a TV watershed, and this DVD set does it full justice. --Donald Liebenson

It's interesting that a majority of the reviews for this show are based on people who grew up with it, or have a fondness for seeing it when it originally aired. I don't have that as the show aired when I was too young to watch. But given the things I've heard, I gave it a try. I'm glad I did. This show stands the test of time better than most shows. The action is top notch, and I can't help but love the characters. The soundtrack is pretty awesome too. Now don't get me wrong, there is some ... Read More

Vice Season One, of course, started it all. A wonderful dimension to Season One is the pleasure of watching those episodes filmed when the spectacular success of program was being realized and experienced in real time by the cast. The terrific acting that Crockett and Tubbs bring to Vice takes on an added measure of easygoing and very shining confidence. So too do the parties that are incorporated in those episodes. There is an energy to them that is very special, hinting of newly discovered greatness ... Read More

This 1984-85 Season of Miami Vice is the season that started it all and the season that made Don Johnson(Crockett) a superstar and a sex symbol when Miami Vice made its debut on NBC in September of 1984, which reminds me that it just so happens that Don Johnson had also auditioned for the role of Michael Knight on KNIGHT RIDER in 1982, but Don Johnson obviously didn't get the part, since it was given to David Hasselhoff.
Fortunately, when Don Johnson got hired for the role of Sonny Crockett on ... Read More

THIS SERIES TURNED MIAMI INTO THE "HOT SPOT" IT IS TODAY. IT CHANGED THE FORMAT OF TV SERIES. A PERFECT CAST. MUCH BETTER THAN THE RECENT MOVIE.
