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

Since I am old school 80s fan i say this to those that are the same. Your collection will never be complete unless you have all 5 seasons of Miami Vice. Aside from the cool music, clothes, story line and the beautiful Tessarosa. A lot of the cases they worked on gave me the chills. Now that I am a little older and have a much better understanding of the show's plot (i was barely three when it first came out in '84).
I felt bad for Tubbs alot in the show cause everytime he found a woman ... Read More

If you haven't seen the pilot of Miami Vice, its worth the price of these discs.
Sonny Crocket knows that a bad cop is in his department, but he can't seem to convince anyone else. He needs to hunt down a drug dealer that's responsible for the deaths of several cops. He's been undercover for too long, and he and his wife are going through a tough divorce.
Tubbs is a detective from New York after the same bad dealer. He shows up in Miami and teams up with Crocket.
This simple ... Read More

I purchased this used DVD set at an incredible and received discs that were like brand new. Can't complain about this kind of service. Been a fan of the show since forever and to have season 1 at my fingertips is
way cool. Love this show/love the money I saved buying it. Over and out!

Miami Vice and I go back to it's air dates. It was the first TV show broadcast in full stereo. The music made the show very moving and exiting.
I own the entire series and think it is a must have for all Drama fans and all Phil Collins music lovers. Enjoy!

I've always liked the series. Parts of it haven't aged too well, but overall, it's still fun to watch. The only complaint I have is that the transfers are not that good. Not one scene is clear and crisp like a DVD transfer should be. For the price tag, it should've been better than that.
