Miami Vice made stars out of Don Johnson, Philip Michael Thomas, and Edward James Olmos, who won an Emmy as the intense, taciturn Lt. Castillo (watching him bust some martial arts moves in "Golden Triangle" is like Yoda cutting lose in Attack of the Clones), but the first season also offers time-capsule glimpses of actors on the cusp of stardom, including a pre-L.A. Law Jimmy Smits in the pilot, a pre-Crime Story Dennis Farina in "One-Eyed Jack," and a pre-Moonlighting Bruce Willis in "No Exit." Miami Vice put a neon sheen on cop-show convention. Its fashion sense (pastel suits, no belt, no socks), and the brilliantly employed freeze frames are still arresting. Miami Vice was a TV watershed, and this DVD set does it full justice. --Donald Liebenson

Customer Reviews of Miami Vice - Season One
Be Carefull Taking The Discs Out... My girlfriend bought me season 1 last year right, ok...I went to take the first disc out and GOD that thing is IN THERE!! You practically have toi BEND the disc in half to get it away from that little plastic flower in the middle holding it in...Then, as we're watching the first episode the DVD freezes for a second or two and skips a little when Sonny says "I dont get, I dont understand this..you were my partner"...Then it plays fine. We thought ok, maybe I cracked the disc trying to take it out...So with the reciept she bought another one. I took the discs out of the first one and replaced them with the discs from the new one...then we returned the second box with the first discs...Same problem, the discs are IMPOSSIBLE to remove but I was more carefull this time, theres NO way I damaged it taking it out. At the EXACT same point in episode one, the disc freezes...and it only got worse, now it skips all through those three minutes and sometimes the DVD player will just get pissed and switch to the next chapter. Whether its an error in printing the discs or the more obvious, a packaging flaw...be carefull. AND HANG ONTO YOUR RECIEPT!!!!!!!!!!
Music sound track is A+ however.....
Finally Miami Vice is available on dvd after watching the entire season 1, I can only give it 3 star rating. The good news - Universal did indeed retain the original soundtrack the 5.1 sound is fairly good given its age (20 years old). The bad news - Universal probably transcribe the episodes over from the vhs prints all the episodes looks grainy and colors bleed (especially red), I have play the discs on a regular crt & my 1080p hdtv - the picture looks worst on hdtv all of the grain shows. Even more puzzling its that other Universal titles (which I own) like Columbo, McCloud which are older looks better than Vice (!) So please rent the set before dropping your hard earned $$$ on season 1.
