I saw this at my local store. It is the two separate box sets for each season shrink wrapped together. I see 20% of people after viewing this page then going and purchasing the sets separately for more than double the money. Wake up people. this is a great deal. Even if wasn't you could always send it back.

My overview of "Miami Vice" the series is in the review of the Season 2 DVD. In terms of this package, it is essential, and "Vice" completists (and those with no previous experience with "Vice") should absolutely grab it. However, I have always felt that the series, the characters, did not really hits its stride until well into the end of Season 1. Season 1 contains some gems, such as "Milk Run", "Nobody Lives Forever", and "Evan", all examples of poignant and shocking (uniquely "Vice") stories. The beginning arc, involving Calderon, across three episodes (including the pilot), was overrated.

It is in Season 2 that the heart of "Vice", its explosive political narrative about duplicity behind the "war on drugs", really began to assert. This darkness, its effects on the characters, propelled the series final seasons, long after the much hyped pastels and "cool" phased out.

Great set. The 2 hour pilot episode was as riveting now as when it originally aired. Although certain aspects have aged (ie music, fashion) the action and plot withstand the test of time. I am amazed at some of the subject matter that was able to get on prime time air when it did (pornography rings, drug smuggling, etc) and in such detail and realism. But this is essential to Michael Mann's modus operandi. If you are a true Michael Mann and Vice fan, this set is something you won't be able to do without (and in crisp, DVD resolution!) If you are not, well you might just think it's a relic of the 80s.

Just an amazing show to begin with. Being able to see these groundbreaking shows again is great. The soundtrack is nothing short of incredible. Edgy storylines - especially for the time. Interesting characters and cool guest stars. Can't wait for them to release the remaining seasons!! Highly recommended.

Though there is argument what the best time of Miami Vice was, there is no disputing the first two seasons were the "classic" vice everyone has come to know any love. The style was the most prevalant here, and the characaters in true form. Also, the songs usually associated with the show were found in these seasons as well. The show was great and really entertaining. If you're looking to remember the classic vice, these two seasons will give you your fill.

Cool cops, lots of action, interesting guest stars, great music, Edward James Olmos emoting like mad, and amazingly atmospheric cinematography combine to create the seminal TV show of the 1980s.

Where are the other seasons. We need them all. Miami Vice ruled the 80's, and to this day, it cannot be touched! Why did the show ever end?

This is a fun collection to watch. Even after 20 years, it still looks fairly good and entertaining. Seeing corded car phones reminds you of the actual age of the series. I guess it will have more value to those who were fans during it's original release as it brings back a lot of memories.

The DVD's are nicely packaged and on dual-sided media. Watching an episode a night, it will keep you entertained for several weeks. Recommended.

OMG, I am somewhere close to heaven when I watch the original Miami Vice series. I was a huge fan back in the 80s. I cannot wait for all the other seasons to come out on DVD. Does anyone know the ETA on those?...lol

My husband and I loved this programme when it first aired in the U.K. back in the early 80's. It went out on a Monday night at 9pm and everything in the household stopped, then you talked about it all the next day with your workmates. I was devasted when Crocketts wife played by Sheena Easton got murdered. I purchased this double DVD as a suprise gift for my husband and he loves it, has watched it over and over again, I think he's reliving his youth. Can't wait for the others to follow
