The release of the series DVDs comes at the perfect time to answer the critics with poor memories who are now stupidly hailing the new "Vice" film as "darkier and grittier" than the TV series. They forget how dark and gritty---and how timely, potent and groundbreaking---the original series was. The art direction, music, colors, the "cool", were innovative, but mere superficialities. It was the political narrative that was the heart of this series. "Miami Vice" carved open the hypocrisy of America's "war on drugs" like nothing before, or since.
It was this hypocrisy, and series' meditations on the duplicity and corruption of the intelligence world, the multinational narco-economy, that made every double and triple cross so explosive and shocking, and this context that let us feel the angst of Crockett, Tubbs and the other characters. These were among the finest, boldest, most TIMELESS moments in TV history.
Season 2 found the series at its popular zenith, with the initial hip gradually giving way to even more powerful, even darker moments. The season was full of highlights.
"Prodigal Son" was a stunning standalone two-episode movie with Crockett and Tubbs pursuing Colombian drug lords all the way to New York, and the center of world finance, and to America's own involvement in the drug economy. This unprecedented epic was possibly the series' zenith, and one of many episodes that puts the Colin Farrell-Jamie Foxx film to shame. "Out Where Buses Don't Run" was a poem on obession, bitterly poignant. "Back in the World" brought back the ghosts of the Vietnam War, and US covert operations. (The Ira Stone arc would return again in Season 3, in the most timely manner.)
I sincerely hope that the entire series, the final seasons (3-5), are made available on DVD. These underappreciated episodes were full of gems, such as "Shadow in the Dark" (a perfect serial killer procedural, the precursor to "Manhunter"), a couple of fine examples of quirky Florida crime humor, a very scary episode with Crockett pursuing a maker of snuff films, and the powerful two-hour series finale "Freefall".

The picture and sound quality of Season Two is actually much better than that of Season One. The picture is much clearer and sharper, while the sound on the Season Two discs is crisper and in much better quality stereo.
There are some really great episodes in the Season Two boxed set. My favorite episode of this season is "The Dutch Oven", which focused on Trudy's inner-conflict and personal struggles following her fatal shooting of a drug dealer. It was nice to see Trudy, usually reduced to cameo appearances on the program, given a lead role. Another great episode involves a Santeria cult that is offing crooked Miami police officers.
If you enjoyed the first season, you will love Season Two.
