Miami Vice was a one of a kind show. Famous for it's fashion, music & glamour, it was a cop show like no other. Don Johnson & Philip Michael Thomas fitted the roles well & had a good supporting cast. Seasons 1 & 2 were great. Very fresh & very original. Season 3 however had a slightly different feel to it. The Daytona was replaced by the Testerossa which I personally didn't think was as nice. Crockett looked more of a ponce in this season & also had a hairstyle I didn't think suited him much. Season 3 also started to show some slightly poor episodes, but most were good. Season 4 was different yet again. Crocket's hair was now longer & Tubbs wore an awful beard, making him lose most of his coolness! Even though season 4 had the odd good episode, death & the lady, child's play & blood & roses, most were just absolute nonsense. By the end of season 4 I have to admit I'd gotten rather bored of this show which seemed to have completely lost it's way. However, Miami Vice returned for a 5th, & final, season. Season 5 was different yet again, & I personally think that this season was the best! Crockett was more distant, quiet, & scruffy, which I think suited the character much better. This season had no silly or cheesy stories, it was just great all the way through & seemed to find it's way again. Very different to season 4. I believe if the show had kept that quality it could have ran longer, but sadly it didn't.
