This season, they really learned from their mistakes from season 3 so to speak. I thought the episodes kind of went back to the style and pastel colours of season 2, but still had an element of seriousness. To me they were more thought out, and more interesting this time around. There were a few stupid episodes like Missing Hours, The Cows Of October, and The Big Thaw, but for the most part, I really liked this season.
This season shows the addition of Sheena Easton, who marries Crockett.
I liked the whole storyline, and I give this season a 5 stars. The way they end this season, is the exact way you end a season, WITH A BANG!
So I recommend this season fully to any VICE fans. Some people would disagree, but this is my opinion.

After the PERFECT 3 and I mean PERFECT. Not a single bad episode in 3. That all changes fast in Season 4 which is just completely awful. Just AWFUL! Season 4 is not the least bit Miami Vice. It's more like MTV Cops/ Crockett's Mis-Adventures. It's very, very bad. Extemely cheap looking and there isn't any action. The heart and soul that was seen in every episode of 3 is not seen in one episode of the pathetic Season 4. Don Johnson who expressed one hell of an ego in 3 and looked so cool in every episode in dark stylish, expensive threads. In Season 4 he looks absolutely silly in his cheaply made clothes. I think he got most of his clothes at the nearest swap meet. He also looks bored and tired, just like the viewer is, when watching this garbage and thinking when is Miami Vice going to come back. Well it comes back in Season 5, to make sure it goes out with a BANG!

Sometimes, this season is considered the weakest season but in my opinion it features many of what would be my favorite episodes. The first few episodes are rather run of the mill - though "Amen .. send money" is a great episode but is different to other MV - and certainly "The big thaw" is terrible, but "Child's play" and "God's work" are very strong and inventive episodes. "Missing hours" is often cited as the worst episode of all but while this is clearly not MV in style, it is the kind of stuff people would be watching later on "Twin peaks" or "X-Files". I like the Caitlin Davies episodes (Crockett's revenge on Frank Hackman - that episode is one of the best ever MV episodes imo) and "Mirror image", where Sonny loses his mind after his Caitlin's death. "Bad of dishonor", "Indian wars" and "Hell hath no fury" are great action-packed episodes. The anti-Pinochet episode "Baseballs of death" is not only fiction but shows the kind of people the West supported against communism (this is the best political episode since "Stones war" in season 3).
The only problem with season four is there are about 4 very pointless episodes (the boring "Vote of confidence", the ridiculous "Cows of October" and "The big thaw" and - if you want to - "Missing hours" (the strongest of these 4 actually!)) that sometimes were back to back. The fact that the season also had many of the best episodes ever is not well known as a result.

stand-out episodes from an exciting and innovative television series. the chemistry and dialogue of the two main characters (crockett and tubbs) are templates for all subsequent "buddy" movies. the use of music and colors in each episode not only set the tone for the shows episodes, it gave new direction to shows and movies to follow.

Season 4 may not be Miami Vice at it's best but it's still way better than the movie and also way better than law shows we have these days. Give me Miami Vice over Law & Boredom anyway. The most exciting thing about that show is the...."Dung Dung" in the opening. This season of Miami Vice has a silly start but a solid ending. In the beginning you have Crockett and Tubbs given silly missions with less of the action that us fans love. I mean you have them watching over a frozen body in one and an episode possible alien abductions for god's sake. You also have a silly but entertaining episode with 2 tv preachers feuding and Crockett and Tubbs caught in the middle.
So it's obvious that they ran out of ideas during this season but it's still not bad at all. Probably the strongest is where Crockett accidently shoots a kid and he decides to look up his ex and their kid to be a father figure again. But it's not going to be that easy since his ex has a new guy in her life that wants to adopt his kid with Crockett totally shut out. So their is some good drama this season.
I do think that Crockett falls for a singer that he's supposed to protect though. I mean they get married in the episode where he just met her. But that leads up to something good too. Crockett has to deal with the publicity of being married to a famous singer and it makes her look bad when it's put in the newspapers that he's a drug dealer. Since a reporter uncovers Crockett's history as his undercover identity Bernett. Crockett with a new wife also leads to a solid episode before the season finale though. Plus we get a different side of Crockett in the season finale as well when he loses his memory and thinks he actually is Bernett. It may be a bit unrealistic but it's still a very cool cliffhanger of an ending for the season. It's also not that silly compared to a lot of the other things from this season either. Hell I even love the 3 episodes where Crockett thinks he's Bernett and acts like a ruthless criminal, it's good stuff. To get the other 2 episodes like that, you need season 5 of course.
The season also offers some excellent appearances by Chris Cooper, Julia Roberts, Oliver Platt, Chris Rock and James Brown "Rock and Brown both appear in one of my least favorite episodes where Trudy has been drugged", Ving Rhames and Stanley Tucci also appear in different roles than they had in previous seasons.
