Very underrated super kino. Haven't seen much of the show but I bet parts of it are great. Digital era Mann is phenomenal.

First two seasons are pure kino, then it starts to dip. Don't even bother touching season 5.

Surprisingly has some really interesting plots, it's pretty much worth watching for Edward James Olmos alone.

Lotta estrogenated replies here
It's perfectly good entertainment as long as you know how to laugh at the subtle social commentary poison pills that lay like landmines in between the cop kino action bombs
My main complaint is most of the gunshot wounds are bloodless lazy and ratings-board-compliant TV bullshit deaths

wonder why he never wound up in any of Mann's films.

Well yeah, it's a 1980s TV show and is literally one of the very first things people think of when they think of the 80s.
>>
>>219317146
The two part pilot is great on it's own. The rest of the series is hit or miss, but I would recommend it still if you enjoy the 80's vibe.

Tony Soprano's neighbor's wife. Pretty cute.

He's apparently a fairly quiet life kind of guy and says no to a lot of things. Even when he was hired for Miami Vice, he had gone back to working for his fathers furniture company.

It's almost entirely hit for the first two seasons but really becomes hit and miss after that point, it starts to really falter at season 4 and I've only ever looked at some of season 5 just once (and it's really bad). Michael Mann become part time on season 3 and left in season 4, with Dick Wolf replacing him and it just became another gritty cop show because that's all Wolf knows.

Its good 80's kino on tv. Atmosphere is perfect. Soundtrack and lighting are exceptional, especially use of colored lighting. Individual episodes are hit or miss, same goes with some storylines that will go batshit insane at times, mostly towards the end of the show.

it's honestly great

Crocket has a pet alligator that guards his boat/divorced man's domicile while he's away at work busting creeps, pimps, and drug pushers

>>219318251
Yeah, it's great.

Jan Hammer's soundtrack is cool.
>>
>>219317146
The first two seasons are pretty entertaining. I've tried finishing the series twice and always drop around the time when Tubbs grows a beard.

>>219318608
Honestly that's how it is for everyone.

>>219317146
the music scenes are the highlights

dogshit compared to the show. just shows that mann didn't get the show he produced
>>
>>219317849
when Snyder and Mann became the top directors on the board

There's just something about 80s TV productions.. cozy as fuck
The 90s action movie bigger budget era is good too
Honestly I just really hate everything post-00s
I'll rewatch time tested kino before I testdrive new slop
>>
I watched a few episodes to see what the hype was about and the cop plots are way more unique and interesting than I thought they'd be. I assumed the episode plots would be predictable and generic as every other show copied it, but it was the opposite.
