Review Quotes:
In this slim volume, Steven Sanders offers a penetrating and surprisingly comprehensive examination of the artistic and thematic complexities of one of network television's most popular and critically acclaimed series. Written with both the enthusiasm of the fan and the perspicacity of the scholar, this book is accessible and yet never simplistic, a fitting tribute to Miami Vice itself, which was always entertaining yet thought-provoking. Sanders is especially to be praised for his thorough and careful analysis of production history, which provides a mine of useful information. His graceful, fluent prose is a joy to read."
