One of the great things about Vice was that, for all the neon and pastels, it was very much a “noir” detective series, where the heroes could lose as often as win.
These days, howver, what with “the Shield,” “True Detective,” and even early seaons of “CSI” that’s common place.
Miami Vice is a victim of its own success. So many other cop shows borrowed from it (and Hill St Blues) that to a modern viewer it would just seem cliched, not groundbreaking.
Ricardo Tubbs is a homosexual with an attraction to 'Sonny'. Trudy Joplin also volunteers with BLM and her favourite comment to any Caucasian is, "Watch it, sucka!" Gina Navarro is 350 pounds of La Raza nationalism, continually whining about how the gringos stole Northern Mexico and how the Southern states will soon be reunited with Mexico.
Sure, I'll want to watch this!
