Miami Vice Season 1
|
|
One of the most
popular television shows of the 1980s, MIAMI VICE helped
define the fashion and music of the period while
simultaneously maintaining a high quality police drama
standard. The show is famous for its pastel colors and
bright south Florida settings, which serve to counteract
the sleaze its main characters often had to deal with.
Sonny and Rico are two cops who work undercover for the
Miami Police Department. They must balance their myriad
personal problems with the difficulty of being undercover
in some of Miami's most rotten criminal businesses.
Luckily, upbeat 80s music, and their own personal sense of
cool, help. MIAMI VICE made a short-lived star out of Don
Johnson, who eventually won a Golden Globe for his
portrayal of Sonny, and supporting star Edward James Olmos
(as a police captain) won both the Golden Globe and an
Emmy. The first season of the show has a surprising number
of famous guest stars, including Bruce Willis, John
Turturro, Jimmy Smits, and Pam Grier. MIAMI VICE is a
fascinating cultural document of the 1980s as well as an
effective and exciting cop show. |
