Overview
Scripts are loosely based on actual crimes that occurred in Miami over the years. This includes both local and international and global organized crime. Many episodes focus on drug trafficking (for which real-life Miami was a main hub and entrance point into North America in the early 1980s). Other episodes are based on crimes such as firearms trafficking, for which Miami was equally a gateway for sales to Latin America, as well as the Miami River Cops scandal (a real police corruption ring that involves narcotic thefts, drug dealing and murders), street prostitution, serial home burglaries, crimes committed by Cuban immigrants to Miami following the Mariel Boatlift, and Yakuza and Mafia activity in Miami. The series also took a look at political issues such as the Northern Ireland conflict, the drug war in South America (e.g. Prodigal Son ), U.S. support of generals and dictators in Southeast Asia and South America, and the aftermath of the Vietnam War. Social issues like child abuse, homophobia, and the AIDS crisis are also covered.
Personal issues also arose: Crockett separates from his wife Caroline (Belinda Montgomery) in the pilot and divorces in the fourth episode, and later his second wife Caitlin Davies (Sheena Easton) is killed by one of his enemies. In the three episodes Mirror Image , Hostile Takeover , and Redemption in Blood , a concussion caused by an explosion causes Crockett to believe he was his undercover alter ego Sonny Burnett, a drug dealer. Tubbs had a running, partly personal vendetta with the Calderone family, a member of which orders the death of his brother Rafael, a New York City police detective. Lieutenant Martin Castillo is also frequently haunted by his past in Southeast Asia, which he had spent as a DEA agent in the Golden Triangle.

In the first seasons the tone was lighter, especially when comical characters such as police informants Noogie Lamont (Charlie Barnett) and Izzy Moreno (Martin Ferrero) appears. Later the content was darker and cynical, with Crockett and Tubbs fighting corruption, and storylines emphasizing the aspect of human tragedy behind a crime. The darker episodes sometimes lacks a denouement, each episode ending abruptly after a climax involving violence and death, often giving the episodes a despairing and sometimes nihilistic feel, despite the trademark glamor and conspicuous wealth.
Given its idiosyncratic dark feel and touch, Miami Vice is frequently cited as an example of made-for-TV neo-noir. Michael Mann, who serves as executive producer for the majority of the show s five-year run, is often credited with being one of the most influential neo-noir directors. The second-season episode Out Where the Buses Don t Run ranks #90 on TV Guide s 100 Greatest Episodes of All Time list.
Changes
During its five-year run, Miami Vice underwent several noticeable changes in its formula and content. Between seasons one and two, however, these changes were mostly subtle and involves details such as the degree of perfection with which color shades of scene backdrops, props and clothing are matched to each other.
For its third season in 1986–87 after the cancellation of Knight Rider, the show moved from its traditional time slot of 10 pm on Friday nights to 9 pm, which now put it up against perennial Top 10 show Dallas. This began the show s decline, and in March, 1987, TV Guide ran a cover story entitled, Dallas Drubs the Cops: Why Miami Vice Seems to be Slipping. Miami Vice s season ratings slipps from #9 in Season 2 down to #27 by the end of Season 3.
Before leaving the series to work on his new television series, Crime Story, Michael Mann hands the role of executive producer to future Law & Order creator Dick Wolf prior to the third season (1986–1987). Wolf had the show focus on contemporary issues like the Troubles in Northern Ireland and capital punishment.
In addition to losing the battle against new timeslot rival Dallas, the general tone of season 3 episodes starts to become more serious and less lighthearted than in previous seasons. Comedic scenes and subplots became distinctly rare. True to Dick Wolf s grabbed from the headlines approach which he later employs in TV series like Law & Order, storylines focus more on the serious human aspect of crime than on glamorizing the tropical lifestyles of drug dealers and other high-profile criminals. This shift in tone also reflects in the series fashions, color schemes, and its choice of music. The cast starts wearing pronouncedly dark clothing and even earthtones, which had famously been avoided by executive producer Michael Mann in seasons one and two. Color palettes of scene backdrops start becoming much darker as well, with pastels replaced by harsher-appearing shades of neon. Whereas seasons one and two always feature a diverse selection of contemporary, mostly upbeat chart music and classic rock and pop, the third season s music lineup became much more somber, with songs like In Dulce Decorum by The Damned, Lives in the Balance by Jackson Browne, Mercy by Steve Jones, and Never Let Me Down Again (Aggro Mix) by Depeche Mode. All these changes are decidedly unwelcome both by critics and by many viewers who had become fans of the TV series due to the package that the first two seasons delivers. It causes the producers to retool their approach to Miami Vice for the following fourth season.
By Season 4, most of the original writers had left the series. Stories and story arcs include a courtship and marriage between Sonny Crockett (Don Johnson) and Caitlin Davies (Sheena Easton), and a plot in which Crockett develops amnesia (during which he mistakes himself for his drug dealer alter ego, and becomes a hitman). Moreover, Caroline Crockett, Sonny s first wife, as well as his son Billy reappear briefly.
Jan Hammer departs from the series at the end of the fourth season, having already handed much of the weekly scoring workload during the season over to John Petersen. The tone of many season 4 episodes grew lighter again, albeit sometimes veering off into the bizarre, e.g. episodes like The Big Thaw , Missing Hours , and The Cows of October . Fashions and scene backdrops largely reassumes the pastel hues of seasons 1 and 2, and the choice of music became more varied again. Hopes by the producers of propitiating former and remaining fans this way only materializing very mutedly, and reception was lukewarm, as evidenced by the show s still declining ratings during season four.
The fifth season (1988–1989) saw the show return to its original timeslot, 10 pm on Friday nights and took the show on a yet more serious tone, with storylines becoming dark and gritty – enough so that even some of the most loyal fans are left perplexed. Tim Truman took over scoring the episodes for the remainder of the series run and brought with him a style of instrumental synthesizer music that was markedly different from Jan Hammer s.
Cancellation
After still-deteriorating ratings during the fourth season, NBC originally planned to order just a shortened fifth season of only 13 episodes, but eventually settled for another full run, which was, either way, going to be the final season. At the beginning of season five, Olivia Brown recalled, The show was trying to reinvent itself. Dick Wolf said in an interview for E! True Hollywood Story, after the fifth season, it was all just ...kind of over , and that the show had run its course .
In May 1989, NBC aired the two-hour series finale, Freefall . Despite its status as the series finale , there were three episodes that did not air ( World of Trouble , Miracle Man , and Leap of Faith ), which appears during the June re-runs as Lost Episodes . A fourth, previously unaired episode, Too Much Too Late , was aired for the first time in 1990, on the USA Network. It has since been run by other networks in syndication with the fifth-season episodes.

Main characters
- Don Johnson as Detective James Sonny Crockett: An undercover detective of the Metro-Dade Police Department. A former University of Florida Gators star wide receiver, he sustains a knee injury which put an end to his sports career. He served two tours in Vietnam – or as he calls it, the Southeast Asia Conference . In 1975 he became a Metro-Dade uniformed patrol officer and later an undercover detective of the vice unit. Crockett s alias is Sonny Burnett, a drug runner and middleman. His vehicles include a Ferrari Daytona Spyder (later a Ferrari Testarossa), a Scarab offshore power-boat, and a sailboat on which he lives with his pet alligator Elvis. The name Sonny Crockett had previously been used for a criminal played by actor Dennis Burkley on Hill Street Blues in 1983, where creator Anthony Yerkovich was a writer. Coincidentally, Gregory Sierra who later plays Crockett s boss on Vice appears in the same episodes.

After temporarily teaming up with Crockett, Tubbs follows his friend s advice and transfers to a career in Southern law enforcement , fearing that after his serious violations of NYPD codes of conduct in the pilot episode, he would not be able to resume his job in New York. He joins the Miami department and becomes Crockett s permanent partner. He often poses as Rico Cooper, a wealthy buyer from out of town.
- Edward James Olmos as Lieutenant Martin Marty Castillo: He replaces the slain Rodriguez as head of the OCB. A very taciturn man, Castillo lives a reclusive life outside of work. He was formerly a DEA commanding officer in the Golden Triangle of Southeast Asia during the late 1970s. During his time as a DEA commanding officer, he opposes the CIA in endorsing the trafficking of heroin to finance their overseas operations.
- Saundra Santiago as Detective Regina Gina Navarro Calabrese: A fearless female detective, who after Crockett s divorce, held a brief romance with him. Even after their relationship did not progress, they still have a strong friendship.

Critical response
This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (February 2017) |
Critics object to the show s usage of violence by dressing it with pretty photography. Others complain that the show relies more on visual aspects and music than on coherent stories and fully drawn characters. Civic leaders in Miami have also objected to the show s airing of the city s crime problems all across America. Most civic leaders, however, were placated due to the show s estimated contribution of $1 million per episode to the city s economy and because it boosted tourism to Miami. Gerald S. Arenberg of the National Association of Chiefs of Police criticized the show s glamorous depiction of vice squads, saying no real vice cops chase drug dealers in a Ferrari while wearing $600 suits. More often than not, they re holed up in a crummy room somewhere, wearing jeans with holes in them, watching some beat-up warehouse in a godforsaken part of town through a pair of dented binoculars .
At the 1985 Emmy Awards Miami Vice was nominated for 15 Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Writing in a Dramatic Series , Outstanding Film Editing , Outstanding Achievement for Music Composition for a series (dramatic underscore) , and Outstanding Directing . At the end of the night, Miami Vice only won four Emmys. The following day, the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner could only conclude that the conservative Emmy voters (at the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences) simply refused to recognize an innovative new series that celebrates hedonism, violence, sex, and drugs.
Television critics Alan Sepinwall and Matt Zoller Seitz ranked Miami Vice as the 51st greatest American television series of all time in their 2016 book titled TV (The Book), with Seitz stating how the show was more influenced by 1960s art house cinema from Europe than by any other contemporary television drama: Miami Vice superimposed ripped-from-the-headlines details about drug smuggling, arms dealing, and covert war onto a pastel noir dreamscape. It gave American TV its first visionary existential drama .
Impact on popular culture
Miami Vice was a groundbreaking police program of the 1980s. It had a notable impact on the decade s popular fashions and set the tone for the evolution of police drama. Series such as Homicide: Life on the Street, NYPD Blue, and the Law & Order franchise, though being markedly different in style and theme from Miami Vice, follows its lead in breaking the genre s mold; Dick Wolf, creator and executive producer of the Law & Order franchise, was a writer and later executive producer of Miami Vice. Parodies and pastiches of it have continued decades after it airs, such as the Only Fools and Horses Christmas episode Miami Twice (1991) and Moonbeam City (2015).
The video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, published by Rockstar Games in 2002, is heavily inspired by Miami Vice in multiple ways. It is set in a stylized 1980s Miami inspired fictional city named Vice City . One of the main characters, Lance Vance, was actually voiced by Philip Michael Thomas. Two undercover police officers appear in a police sports car within the game when the player obtains a three-star wanted level. The two officers, one white and one black, resemble the two leading characters of Miami Vice. In the prequel, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, there are two officers in the multiplayer mode named Cracker and Butts, a parody of Crockett and Tubbs; these characters share the same role as the undercover cops in Vice City.
Many of the fashion styles and trends popularized by the TV show, such as fast cars and speed boats, unshaven beard stubble, a T-shirt under pastel suits, no socks, rolled up sleeves, boat shoes and Ray Ban sunglasses symbolize the stereotypical image of 1980s fashion and culture.
It has built an awareness of Miami in young people who had never thought of visiting Miami.
—William CullomFormer President of the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce
The show also had a lasting impact on Miami itself. It drew a large amount of media attention to the beginning revitalization of the South Beach and Art Deco District areas of Miami Beach, as well as other portions of Greater Miami, and increases tourism and investment. Even 30 years after Miami Vice first airs, it is still responsible for its share of tourist visits to the city. The fact that Crockett and Tubbs were Dade County officers and not City of Miami police represents the growing notion of metro government in Miami. In 1997, a county referendum changed the name from Dade County to Miami-Dade County. This allows people to relate the county government to recognize notions and images of Miami, many of which arere first popularized by Miami Vice. The Dade County Sheriff s Office now became the Miami-Dade Police Department. The Overwatch League s Florida Mayhem who represents the cities of Miami and Orlando on January 6, 2020 announces the change of their color scheme to a Miami Vice-inspired Black Neon Pink and Neon Blue.
Home media
Universal Studios has released all Miami Vice seasons on DVD for regions 1, 2, and 4. Seasons 1 & 2 were released in 2005, and seasons 3 through 5 were released in 2007. The DVD release of the series had been significantly slow due to one of the signature features of the show: the heavy integration of 1980s pop and rock music. The music was difficult to source the rights to and acquire permission to use. (On at least one VHS release of the pilot, The Rolling Stones song Miss You had been replaced by generic rock music.) In the November 2004 announcement for the DVD release of the series, Universal promises that all original music in the series would be intact. On August 21, 2007 Universal announces the November 13, 2007 release of the complete series, with all five seasons on 27 single-sided DVDs. The seasons are in their own Digipak-style cases, and the set is housed in a faux alligator-skin package. Seasons 1 & 2 contained six single-sided discs, rather than the three double-sided discs in the initial release. The Region 2 version has different packaging, does not use double-sided discs, and although there are no special features stated on the packaging they are contained within the season 1 discs.
On March 8, 2016, it is announced that Mill Creek Entertainment had acquired the rights to the series in Region 1; they subsequently re-released the first two seasons on DVD on May 3, 2016.
On October 4, 2016, Mill Creek re-release Miami Vice – The Complete Series on DVD and also release the complete series on Blu-ray.

Miami Vice is an American crime drama television series created by Anthony Yerkovich and produced by Michael Mann for NBC. The series stars Don Johnson as James Sonny Crockett and Philip Michael Thomas as Ricardo Rico Tubbs, two Metro-Dade Police Department detectives working undercover in Miami. The series ran for five seasons on NBC from 1984 to 1989. The USA Network began airing reruns in 1988 and broadcast an originally unaired episode during its syndication run of the series on January 25, 1990.
Unlike standard police procedurals, the show drew heavily upon 1980s New Wave culture and is noted for its integration of contemporary pop and rock music and stylish or stylized visuals. People magazine states that Miami Vice was the first show to look really new and different since color TV was invented .
Michael Mann directed a film adaptation of the series, which was released July 28, 2006.
