Miami Vice: Blood & Roses (1988)
Season 4, Episode 19
4/10
Risky subject matter, lazy execution
23 July 2017
Warning: Spoilers
'Blood and Roses' treads all-too-familiar ground; if you remember Gina's involvement way back in 'Give a Little, Take a Little', then you've pretty much already seen this one. The only difference is Frank Mosca (Stanley Tucci) is the bad guy this time. That's about it.

But this lacks the danger of that earlier episode, and along with that, the drama. You know she's going to lose control of the situation way before it happens, and this paints Gina as both reckless and mildly incompetent. It's not like the character ever gets her own story, and this algorithm of a cop show episode is how they handle it?

What a waste.
