Been binging Miami Vice lately and this is one of the few episodes that lives up to the potential set out in the early days. I always remember to watch this show in relatiion to the times (almost 40 years now, sheesh). This one has a darkness and edge to it that feels genuine. It's a showcase for Tubbs and Castillo. It moves at a brisk pace (unlike many Vice episodes) it doesn't rely too heavily on montages ( not that there's anything wrong with them in Vice world). Ron Pearlman (sons of anarchy) and Laurence Fishburn are the pre-fame talents and are also great. I really thought it was going to slow down and get corny when Tubbs goes on the inside as a prisoner, some cheesiness does ensue (it is network tv after all), but not enough to distract. Overall, a solid outing early on in the third season, that seems to be shaping up to be better than the second (fingers crossed)
