Miami Vice

Season 5 (20 Episodes)

5 Seasons 1988 TV-14 48m 7.6

Resplendent with authentic 1980s music, fashion, and vibe, "Miami Vice" follows two undercover detectives and their extended team through the mean streets of Miami, Florida.

James "Sonny" Crockett and Ricardo "Rico" Tubbs are undercover Miami police detectives. Their world is the sordid yet distinctly high-flying and glamorous world of drug dealers. To fit in they need to look at act the part: flashy cars, trendy clothes, glamorous women.
