Miami Vice: The Complete Series

First off I have had this set for a little over a year, but I did order it from Amazon and as I remember it did come in a good time and was definately in good condition. The only problem was the Season Three set had a broken holder in the case. (I don't know what you really call it, its the little 'toothed' thing that the DVD disc rests on.) The disc itself was fine, and I just keep it in a DVD envelope inside the Season Three case. All of the discs were in good condition and they all played fine. The only other small complaint I have is that in Season One, sometimes the picture wavers just a little, its not bad enough to hurt the viewing for me, it just kind of looks like the picture is underwater for just a second or two. And the overall quality of the tranfer of Seasons One and Two is not as high as the later seasons...such as spots over the picture or scratches on the picture. In other words, sometimes Season One and Season Two looks twenty some years old.The white case that the dics come in is really sturdy and has a nice velvetlike or suedelike turquiose colored lining. And if you know "Miami Vice" you will understand why the case is done in an alligator skin pattern. If you don't, you will find out when you watch the show.Any how, I used to watch "Miami Vice" back in the day, but I can't say I was a huge fan and did not watch it much in the last two seasons. But about a year ago, I was listening to '80's music on the radio and got to thinking about the show. So when I found the complete series on Amazon I had to have it. I was glad I did buy the whole series, because for all these years I thought the main characters were killed in the series finale.I have really enjoyed watching "Miami Vice" again. I have a Blu-Ray player and although these dics are not Blu-Ray, my player upgrades them and they look great. All the pastel colors of the earlier seasons and the lovely beach scenery just pops! And as far I can remember all of the original songs are there. This was the show of the '8o's.So for anyone who is having a mid-life crisis (LOL) like me or who just wants to get a taste of the fashions and music of that time then I highly recommend you get "Miami Vice" and watch it.

I got this Miami Vice DVD box-set for $45 as a birthday present to myself back on 2010. Every disc from every season works perfectly. Every episode looks and sounds fantastic. My wife and I just re-watched most of season 1 very recently. The main reason I was thrilled with this DVD box-set is because I when I first got all the individual seasons by themselves season's 3 and 5 didn't work very well. So I returned. I later sold season's 1, 2, and 4 to someone because they worked fine. But this Miami Vice box-set must have been lucky or something because everything works very well. It's really too bad that there wasn't better consistency in quality for a lot of the early MV DVD releases. Hopefully they've fixed the problem since it's 2018. Miami Vice is easily one of the best shows ever on TV. Some many shows, even to this day, have "borrowed" storylines and visual/sound production ideas from Miami Vice. The show literally inspired a couple of generations of similar cop shows. Crockett & Tubbs are so often copied yet never ever matched. Shows like NCIS and CSI to movies mega franchises like Fast & Furious... think about it. Don Johnson is a legend and like all legends gets a bad rap among some people. If you were a young dude growing up in the 80s you wanted to either be Don Johnson or Eddie Van Halen and have a James Bond girl for your girlfriend. Lmao! Its actually really amazing how much the 80s have and still continue to influence the modern era of TV/DVD/Streaming content. For some reason people still love to relive one of/if not the greatest decades of the last 100 years... in my humble opinion. That being said, I hope you enjoy the Miami Vice experience. Season's 1, 2, and 4 are my favorites. However, the first 35-40 episodes of the show are the mid 80s cranked to 11 just the way I like it.

Miami Vice was my absolute favorite cop show, in the '80's and even now...No one else quite represented those wonderfully decadent '80's like a tanned Don Johnson, with that sexy smile, in a pink linen sports coat and Ray-Bans! I hesitated spending the money on this, but I realized that this Miami Vice Complete Series wouldn't be around forever, given that this show is already approx. 25 years old. And if I waited, I might end up paying a lot more, later.I was concerned, howeveer, when I read one of the comments here, saying that when they got their order, one of the CD's were missing. Prior to ordering, I expressed my concerns in an e-mail to Amazon and got a prompt reply saying that, if I had any problems, they would correct it immediately, if I chose to order this product.Well, I got it and evrything was there, beautifully packaged and really excellent quality DVD's....I am up to about #13 of the first season and thoroughly enjoying it! Thanks for excellent service and a quality product, Amazon! This is a real collector's item that I will always treasure.

I am a huge Miami Vice fan and saw no alternative than to get the whole series. Sure, there are some episodes during the later run of the series that are a bit out there; the James Brown episode and frozen Jamaican for example. However, I'm a fan of all episodes and recommend this to any hardcore Vice fan. For the casual fan, I would recommend this also, although fairweather Vice fans would probably just benefit from buying individual seasons. They are all great, though.It would be great if there were some commentaries from Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas (or anyone), but there are some special features on the Season 1 DVD. There is a great number of featurettes on it, however.If you love the music, the feel and vibe of one of the greatest 80s series, look no further than this great DVD set.
