I am rewatching episodes out of order, here and there, and the style, the music, the direction is all incredible, yeah, it sags in some parts, in terms of all long running cop shows, as in the suffering is just overwhelming, but there are so many moments of pure cinematic thrill and beauty, that speedboat on the ocean to Tina Turner, In The Air Tonight, Simply Redd, (lol) I Don't Care Anymore, (lol) all the music montages really defined 90's and 2000's television. The final frame of a dejected, demoralized Crockett/Tubbs, as another innocent person is killed, or another personal relationship is torn apart. I'd say a show has never been as stylized as Miami Vice.
