James "Sonny" Crockett and Ricardo "Rico" Tubbs are undercover Miami police detectives. Their world is the sordid yet distinctly high-flying and glamourous world of drug dealers. To fit in they need to look at act the part: flashy cars, trendy clothes, glamorous women.
A show that was revolutionary for its time and still holds up incredibly well today. The average cop show until then was a fairly procedural, dour affair. This was totally different: fast cars, trend-setting clothes, beautiful women, great Miami scenery and nightlife, a fantastic soundtrack, gritty yet "cool" plots, expert cinematography.
The whole vibe was fantastic and a breath of fresh air.
