it's the baywatch of the 80ties, well it's better but it's pretty camp. for instance it's totally unbelievable

Since when a show has to be believable to be good? A-Team had a chopper chase every episode, the rifle guns never hit no one and it was still a damn good show not that Miami Vice is tho.
The best thing about Macgyver and the A-Team was that both had a very similar episode layout, it started with some kind of helpless victim/s who was being oppressed by a much stronger force with less than noble intentions, then the good visiting heroes would have to build traps and other shit using mundane items in order to defeat the evil doers, like some kind of analogy that cooperation and intelligence can defeat even the strongest military force.

i think it kind of pretends it. in any case the unrealism doesn't add to it.

its great, i like the 80s tunes & the 80s color but the story remains the same ! to make it short : some dude betrays his boss & get killed just before the cops arrives & don johnson cries at the end. still great tv prog, much better than those recent craps..

It's highly stylised, even by 80s standards, how does it "pretend" to be "beliveable". What rot, what pish. It's good telly. If you want social realism go queue for bread in the Third World. Like I do, not that I think it's that funny anymore. I'd rather watch Miami Vice.

mentioning Twin Peaks in the same sentence as Miami Vice?!
Two completely different levels of quality

it's just so dumb the police inspector gives sonny the car, a lamborghini i think, maybe a ferarri, as a goodbye gift in the end
but i don't want to speak so bad about miami vice, it's pretty cool

There's an "end"? I never knew that. I thought they were still fighting drug lords in pastel coloured haciendas.

I certainly appreciate Michael Mann, though. The Insider, Heat & Collateral were good movies, and even the Miami Vice movie had some decent moments.

Collateral, at times, looks like it was shot with a DV-cam. Watch the cab scenes, shot through the wind shield. I know it's a million dollar Viper cam or something equally expensive, but the quality just isn't 35mm. It's too flat.
