Critics

Audience

A Miami vice squad battles drug trafficking, prostitution, and other crimes while working undercover across the city. The series centers on an unlikely partnership between a local detective and a New York police officer whose investigation brings them together.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy stylish, music-driven police dramas with action, atmosphere, and unmistakable 1980s flair; Not for you if you prefer consistently realistic stories or modern crime-series pacing.
