Miami Vice: The Prodigal Son (1985)
Season 2, Episode 1
Style over substance. "Meaningful" stares over, well, everything else.

Pithy aphorisms over actual dialogue. If you don't count the song lyrics, this episode may set a TV world-record for fewest words per minute. And the words? Full sentence definitely unnecessary. Logic? Laissez-faire.

Near the end, they throw in a TBTF ghoul who must be an ancestor to both Mr. Burns and Jamie Dimon.

Good parts? The final drug deal goes down in the WTC, where I used to work. I think Crockett's final shots come while he is standing where they later built tennis courts. Courts I used to play on. And the piece de resistance: a "sex scene" that will surely have you laughing. Was that what they were going for?
