I talk about Michael Mann for probably not the first time

I skimmed a little of this.

I watched a lot of these shows.

I was really into Miami Vice as a teenager. The use of time was amazing, and it was largely possible due to not falling into the trick of using a, b, and c plots, but telling one story in the 45 minutes available. "Half a major motion picture every week." I watched Michael Mann's Robbery Homicide Division years later, and it was the same theory, but it relied too much on the same protagonist every week, and wasted the rest of the ostensible regular cast.

I've probably said this on this journal before.

Man, I loved Miami Vice. I was a nutty kid.
