    Easily one of my favorite TV series ever. Sad it ended. Glad it ended while it was still good. Good post!

    I read somewhere - can't remember where - that the producer of this show was considering a revival of Miami Vice, but in the gritty style of The Wire instead of the original. Or that dreadful movie.

    I think that would be an interesting take; Miami's REALLY seedy side, not the Architectonica buildings or the shots of the Metrorail in the sunset.

    If he did I would absolutely give it a shot.... I like Miami Vice the movie though, and pretty much everything else Michael Mann has done.

    I'm a HUGE Mann fan; Thief is definitive work in the brainy/action genre, and Heat is simply brilliant.

    I just thought that with all that time and budget the story in MV could have been MILES better.

    For it's time, and considering it was on network TV, I thought Miami Vice was pretty gritty. Not by today's standards mind you, but that show was cutting edge in the 1980s :lol:
