Customer Reviews of Miami Vice - Season Three

THE BEST SEASON?
Excellent season....To critics of the show who say it was not a gritty show then watch this season.....Excellent mix of grittiness and style..The show took on a much darker edge but did not stray from its roots......Don Johnson's clothes went from pastels and white sportcoats to mostly darker toned clothes, and the white Testarossa was introduced....Bye bye to Zito who was killed off midseason (no loss there) <
>Some episodes are truly classics (the opener with Jeff Fahey as a weapons distributor) the episode guest starring Lou Diamond Philipps as a cop, and a classic with John Glover as a former cop who is a surveillance sweeper (by the far funniest and least gritty episode of the season-straight out of a season 1 episode) Classic season..Only negative is Don Johnson's clothes are much more dated than in any other season....The white coats and pastels can still pass today, but the yellow shirts with blue sport coats look was out by 1988...

Great episodes in season 3, but the way the DVDs were made, without song lyric captions, was not a good idea
I'm glad that they finally produced seasons three, four, and five. Season three was one of the best, if not THE best, out of all of them. But what I don't like is that the DVD makers strayed away a little bit from the format that they did in the DVDs for seasons one and two. One thing that was GREAT in the Season One and Two DVD sets is that in the option for English subtitles or captions, whenever a song was played during a scene, the words and lyrics of that song would ALSO show. As part of the captions. But instead of sticking to that cool feature, the geniuses who finally put the seasons three to five DVDs together, decided to omit that lovely cool thing, which is a departure that I don't like at all, cuz in Season Three especially there were specific episodes that I WANTED to know the precise lyrics of certain song tracks. A little more clearly. And I was glad to hear that the Season Three Miami Vice DVD set finally came out. And one reason was I wanted to see the words of a few cool songs in Season Three episodes. With the captions option. Captions are still possible, but for some silly reason, when songs are played during scenes, the words don't nicely show up on the screen for that. Like they did in the Seasons 1 and 2 DVD sets. THAT'S ONE LOUSY CHANGE NOW IN THE FORMATTING OF IT !! Not a good idea. Probably a bit of laziness on the part of the engineers or video editors or whatever. Hence why only 4 stars instead of 5. At least part of the reason. (Because I'm rating the DVD formats and sets themselves too. Not just the episodes.) <
>Also, I actually preferred when the disks were two-sided, as in Seasons one and two DVDs. Anyway, another reason 4 stars instead of 5 is, while I like Miami Vice overall, sometimes, let's be totally honest, the violence, gun killings, etc, are a bit gratuitous and non-credible. At certain times. But what can you do? Even if all those near escapes and constant near misses, and some of the gun things are a bit over-done here and there, which they are sometimes, the total picture needs to be appreciated and understood. Those are two crazy under-cover cops. And fun and passionate. And also deep, in certain ways. And at least are not really corrupt and crooked. Like the sickos on "The Shield". (Even though the subject matter and drama on "The Shield" are pretty realistic and with good acting.) But nothing's perfect. Not even Miami Vice. Anyway, overall though, Don Johnson's hair and apparel and style are great. Drama and dialogue interesting and thought-provoking. Philip Michael Thomas is always in cool and sharp form. Edward James Olmos is always intense, sharp, and great in his speech and suave cool demeanor. Supporting cast really good. Scenery and imagery, topics. Nice stuff. Overall. Not perfect, but interesting and cool basically, in the overall sense. Again though, the DVDs themselves, were made differently than in seasons one and two, for some oddball reason. They should have stuck to that original format, in the DVD sets, instead of changing it in seasons 3 to 5. But you take the good with the bad. So overall, pretty good.
