The most cinematic show of the 80s, with camera techniques, lighting, style and fashion beyond its time. Seasons 1 and 2 are mostly excellent, but the quality tapers off at 3 and especially 4.

Excellent show. Even when it's bad it is oh so good. An aesthetic masterpiece, right down to Jan Hammer's original music. Very interesting how it holds up on certain issues. Having grown up in Miami, this makes me nostalgic for its poetic absurdity.

Great show, but I really don't understand why Google is not letting me buy this in Finland. Does the film industry want me to go back to pirating stuff?
