Seasons 1-2 were essence of vice. Art deco style, solid police work. Essence of the series.
Season 3 was darker, gritter vice.
Overall, seasons 1-3 had good and worse episodes. But their level was pretty much balanced, there were not very bad episodes during these years.
But since season 4 things started to downfall down the slope.
Story scrips are unimpressve. Characters lack chemistry. Acting looks forced. Some episodes looks like more X-files than real world police work.
Crockett grew lion lion hair and Tubbs grew beard, I don't know who advised that but it looks terrible.
Jan Hammer watched it and sensed what's going on in S4 and departed from the show, and rightfully so. He wouldn't have liked to compose his great tunes to bad acting and bad script.
I really preferred if MV ended after season 3.
This way the series would have cult and iconic status today, easily with 9/10 rating. But it doesn't.
When I rewatch MV I almost always play first three seasons only. Coincidence?
