When I watch Miami Vice I remind myself to keep the viewing experience relative to the times. For a network show in 1985 to look, feel and sound the way many of these first season episodes do, is a miracle. I was pulled in from the opening sequence of this episode. A very dark episode that has the vice squad assisting the robbery squad with a series of violent home invasions. Abel Ferrara directs and the bad guys include Esai Morales and Paul Calderon.
The main storyline is that the robbery squad lieutenant is not up to the task and lieutenant Castillo has to do the real investigative work. There's a great scene where the robbery guys and Sonny watch Castillo figure out the common thread between all the invasions. As always, Olmos is cool as ice throughout.
Once again, a very dark episode with a great supporting cast and director. I liked this one.
