Where to Find Your Vice Fix
Now, let’s get down to business. Where can you actually watch this 80s masterpiece? Well, it’s not like it’s hidden in a secret underground lair (though that would be pretty cool). The good news is, it's easier than tracking down a lost episode of Knight Rider.
- Streaming Services: Your best bet is to check out streaming platforms. They’re like the digital equivalent of those old video rental stores, but without the late fees. Keep an eye out for services like Prime Video. They often have classic shows like Miami Vice.
- DVDs and Blu-rays: If you’re feeling nostalgic or simply prefer physical media, you can always opt for the classic DVD or Blu-ray. It’s like owning a piece of 80s history. Just be prepared to explain to your friends why you have a physical copy of a TV show.
- Cable/Satellite: While it's less common, some cable or satellite providers might still air classic shows. So, if you're stuck in the 90s with your TV package, you might get lucky.
A Few Tips for the Uninitiated
Before you hit play, here are a few things to keep in mind:
 |
- Fashion: The show is as much about the clothes as it is about the crime. So, prepare to be blinded by pastel suits, oversized sunglasses, and hair that defies gravity.
- Soundtrack: The music is legendary. Get ready for a soundtrack filled with synth-heavy tunes that will transport you straight back to the 80s.
- Plot: Sure, there’s crime-solving, but it’s the style and atmosphere that really make the show. So, don’t expect deep character development or complex storylines.
How to... Miami Vice
- How to dress like Sonny Crockett: Invest in a white suit, pastel t-shirt, and sunglasses. Bonus points for a boat.
- How to achieve Miami Vice hair: Use copious amounts of gel and backcomb until it reaches for the sky.
- How to talk like Ricardo Tubbs: Just add a cool, laid-back tone and some slangy phrases.
- How to drive a Ferrari Testarossa: Rent one. Or at least pretend you can.
- How to live the Miami Vice lifestyle: Move to Miami, buy a boat, and pretend you're an undercover cop. (Disclaimer: Do not actually pretend to be an undercover cop.)
So, there you have it. Your guide to experiencing the magic of Miami Vice. Now go forth and enjoy the show!
