Description
Miami Vice: A New Standard of Crime Television Miami Vice, a groundbreaking television series, brought feature film production values to prime time in the mid-1980s. With its unprecedented budget and executive producer Michael Mann at the helm, the show redefined the television police drama. This book, written by Steven Sanders, explores the show's themes, narratives, visual realization, and sound design, revealing how they created a new standard of crime television. Sanders examines the social, political, and cultural background that led to the show's distinctive "TV noir" style, as well as its exploration of existentialist and postmodern themes. The book also considers questions of authenticity, redemption, and politics in the show, highlighting its attention to the complex issues surrounding the war on drugs. A valuable contribution to film and video scholars, Miami Vice remains a thought-provoking and absorbing watch, even twenty-five years after its initial broadcast.
