Great show and I watched it mainly for the featured "gun of the week." Unfortunately too many politicians in DC and sheeple in general took the guns and their use as gospel in the real world.

Finished it on Netflix a month ago great show. Was a baby when it was on tv originally. Loved seeing some of the stars of today when they first started out.

I was a kid when it was on. Dad would let me watch it if Mom was gone and I loved it. I watch them now, and its still great TV. And I love the 80's cars, guns, music and clothes.

A lot of famous people made cameo appearances on that show. It was one of the best television series ever. Thanks Michael Mann.

I used to watch it as a kid. Then I saw it on the Centric channel and started to relive my youth (they also have the A-Team and only have these shows because a black guy is a main or supporting character - no joke). My brother and his wife bought me the 5 season DVD set after they heard me constantly make references to Miami Vice to their son.

Huge fan of Michael Mann's directorial style. What a great series. Manhunter (prequel to Silence of the Lambs from 1986) is classic Michael Mann and shouldn't be missed.

Did Netflix get rights to "Evan"? Hands down, best episode and hardest to license (why, I have no idea - Hulu didn't have it forever, and then only had it for a short time).

Fucking this.

Manhunter. Last of the Mohicans. Heat. The Kingdom.

I challenge anyone to find someone better at matching music and imagery to evoke an specific emotional response. The man is a complete master.

Not surprising. I have no idea what the issue is, but its hard to get that episode. Hulu only had it for about 1 month, even youtube clips are hard to find. I can never listen to Peter Gabriel's "Biko" without thinking of the ending scene.

There's something about Miami that draws me in. I am determined to get back there some day.

The show for me is about the city, the life and the wonderful 80's style.

Gina what a babe..

Grew up as a kid in Miami back in those days. Brother and I were fishing once and Don Johnson stopped to fish with us...

Miami (South Florida) sure isn't the same anymore. I really miss those days and that time down here. Such a different place. I can feel it at times, it just had this different feeling.

I know this isn't about Miami Vice per say but if you get a chance to watch Cocaine Cowboys on Netflix instant, great documentary, Jan Hammer soundtrack.

From what I've read, "Evan" is considered to be one of the two best episodes of the entire series. I'm guessing they were never able to reach a deal with regard to the licensing and distribution for it.

It's a shame, because it's damn good television.

Jim Zubiena too. He was an advisor and also played an assassin once. His quick draw from concealment was epic.

Definitely Miami

That and Evan are two of the greats for me. Definitely Miami - whenever I watch that one I actually think I can feel the sweltering heat of south FL. Great directing, cinematography - a show ahead of its time (other than the clothes, they defined the time)

What's the other one?

My personal favorite episode is Glades, mainly because of "Maybe you won't even twitch...."
There are a lot of episodes tied for second place, though.
