I would have given Miami Vice a 10 rating if there weren't a handful of dud episodes. It was usually quite an unpredictable storyline so it kept you interested. The style was very upmarket 80's & set a lot of trends. The writers & producers of the show took risks which generally came off. Occassionally they got it wrong & maybe a little unrealistic but generally they got it right & when they did there was many outstanding episodes that put modern shows to shame. I actually think the show was ahead of it's time with the story lines & political corruption that as a teenager I didn't fully understand then but now as an adult looking back I say yes that's how the system does work. Many guest actors/actresses became household names. You sort have to watch the show from the start of the series to understand it fully as many episodes intertwine with previous episodes & characters. To a younger person who is interested in the 1980's culture & wants to watch something a bit different I think you'll like it.
