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.

STILL great show with mind blowing action and music mixed perfectly together.. This stands the test of time.

I haven't watched this show since it was on in the 80's and rewatching it after more than 20 years has been so enjoyable. This show was so well made, film, camera work, acting of the leads. Some of the stand alone episodes weren't that great but this is always the case of any long running show. Don Johnson was brilliant as Sonny Crockett and I always enjoyed Phillip Michael Thomas as Ricardo Tubbs. The two actors played so well together.There are suggestions that Don Johnson was a prima donna but when you watch this show, you do realise that he was the perfect actor for the role and simply did push the quality of the show up. I love Edward James Olmos as Castillo. He and Don Johnson played really well off of each other.This show defined what was happening at the time and was very reflective of the indulgent mentality of the 80's and it has been an absolute pleasure watching it again. This is a show that truly does stand the test of time. Watch this and, excepting the development in film technology now, I think you would be hard pressed to name 6 shows today that could match up to the quality of work that was "Miami Vice".

So far I've only made it through Season 3 of Miami Vice. I was a huge fan of this series back in the 80's. All 5 seasons are in this boxed set and I found the price to be a decent one compared to other sellers. The box is made to resemble alligator skin and is white. If you remember, Crockett had a pet alligator named Elvis on his boat.The quality of the discs has been okay if a bit grainy but that hasn't been a big issue with me. My biggest beef is that one of the discs (Season 2, disc 4, episode 14) had several "bad spots" in it and froze up on me. I had to fast forward through those places, which was annoying.All in all, so far, I've been happy with the set and hearing some of the sound tracks, reliving the episodes, etc has been worth a few "bad spots." For that reason I could not give this a 5 star.

Il prodotto corrisponde pienamente alla descrizione! La prima stagione è anche in italiano mentre le restanti sono in inglese. Un "must-have" per i fan di vecchia data di Crockett e Tubbs

Incroyable ! Top qualité et des épisodes et de l'humour, de l'action non-woke comme dans le temps !

Ich habe diese Box zwar schon seit Oktober 2009,möchte aber dennoch ein paar Worte zu dieser Box sagen. Die Aussenbox ist doch sehr stabil und aus sehr dickem Karton, das Innenleben ist ein Buch mit je 2 DVDs pro rechter Seite. Von daher ist die Qualität und Stabilität der Box schon gut.Es stimmt zwar, das die DVDs nur in Kartontaschen sind, jedoch habe ich bisher kein Problem gehabt mir Kratzern, dabei laufen die DVDs im "Power Play".Halten tun die DVDs auch in den Taschen, zumal man ja die Box nicht sehr oft wirft und dreht, so das die DVDs in stehenden oder liegenden Booklet sehr wohl an Ort uns Stelle bleiben. Klebstoffreste oder ähnlichen Horror gab es gottseidank nicht (Ausgabenummer 2019), und ich erfreue mich seither immer wieder an der für mich besten Cop Serie all-ever. Die Synchronstimmen sind so wie man sie kennt und liebt, die Schnitte sind ebenfalls wie gehabt, und sein wir uns ehrlich, wer die Serie ungeschnitten haben will greift sowieso zur Import Box. Anzumerken sei der große Preisverfall, im Oktober 2009 hat das Teil noch gut 200 Euro gekostet, nun kann man es um ein Drittel dieses Preises erstehen. Jeder muss selbst wissen wie er zur Serie steht, aber es ist eine sehr gute Gelegenheit die gesamte Serie zu kaufen. Untertitel in deutsch und englisch und ebenso die Tonspuren halten es angenehm überschaubar und schnell umschaltbar, wenn man zwischen englisch und deutsch hin und her schalten will ,um z.B. sich manche Sprüche im Original anzuhören, ausserdem gewöhnt man sich an Don Johnson's echte Stimme, die weit nicht so gut klingt wie die von Reent Reins. Wer Vice mag kann beruhigt zugreifen, zudem gibt es ein Wiedersehen mit vielen bekannten Gesichtern der 80ger Jahre, die Gastrollen haben...

Tease up your "mall bangs" and guys, take off your socks, put on a pink shirt and get back to Sonny and Rico! what a great show! The music is terrific and you can see how the 80's styles were driven by this sassy and smart cop show. Wow, I want that boat! Watch out for Elvis though.We binge watched three seasons. Five to go. Can't wait.
