If you let Vice lure you along with its suspense, you will be rewarded.

There's probably no way to appreciate how special the show seemed when it first aired unless you were there at the time, and had been watching TV long enough to accept that even the smartest, best-written shows were going to look like mud.

Only the highly innovative first two seasons really hold up, with a few good episodes scattered through the third season but not much beyond that.

The series' use of pop music was unprecedented. Entire songs would play out over montages or shots of Crockett and Tubbs driving/boating someplace with minimal dialogue.

Both the visuals and the audio were symbolic of bringing feature-film values to television.
