Miami – with its pastel costumes, fast cars and a soundtrack that made the history of television, “Miami Vice” was the program that helped define a decade.
It is difficult to forget that iconic impulse of the pilot episode, underlined by “In the Air Tonight” by Phil Collins.
“Miami Vice” was not just another police show. He redefined the genre, combining the action of high octane with film images, while helping to revitalize Miami Beach while showing his glamor Art Deco.
Each episode of the series that debuted in 1984 was a love letter to the city, wrapped in the excess of the 1980s.
Now, 41 years later, cast members and crew are gathering for an annual celebration (MV 41), attracting fans throughout the country.
Among those who return are Edward James Olmos, who won an Emmy for his interpretation of Lieutenant Stoic, Marty Castillo.
Olmos said that neither he nor his co -star could have predicted the global phenomenon “Miami vice.”
“I don’t think anyone really can,” he said. “He swept the world. It was the most watched television program of his time.”
No meeting would be complete without a small power. Olmos even slid away from one of the feathetic ferraris of the program and was “immediately, transported back to those nights of Miami illuminated by neon, he said.
For the Superfans “Miami Vice” as Brian Hauser, the celebration of almost a week is more than only nostalgia: it is an opportunity to connect with a program that shaped his youth.
“It was very fundamental in my age of age,” said Hauser. “I don’t think it has been recreated since then, and still resonates to this day.”
More than four decades later, “Miami Vice” remains a love letter to a city and an era that continues to captivate.
As Olmos said in a few words, sliding in the driver’s seat once again: “beautiful.”
