Miami Vice
1984-1989 | Crime | USA | Created by Anthony Yerkovich
Overview
MTV cops: pastel suits, needle drops, Art Deco architecture, a Ferrari, and a pet alligator. Michael Mann executive polish made the look of a decade and brought film grammar to weekly television. Don Johnson stubble and Philip Michael Thomas charm. Five seasons. The Jan Hammer theme became a number one hit. The city as character, synthesizer as score. Fashion and crime merged.
