Vice and Easy – Détails, épisodes et analyse

This week on Miami Vice: We have arrived at the series finale, Freefall! Crockett and Tubbs are roped into a plan to bring a dictator from a fictional Central American nation known as Costa Morada to help get information about a cartel boss. Crockett is aprehensive and just jaded in general, but Tubbs' enthusiasm is persuasive. They flew to Costa Morada only to be set up multiple times, bring Borbon back to Miami only to be set up again and again. Realizing Crockett was right to be skeptical, they bring matters into their own hands, only to toss their badges on the ground in front of the Feds and Castillo in a horrendous wig. One last drive in the Testarossa into the sunset as they plan for their next steps and we say goodbye with a montage of clips from the entire series. Break out those tissues, I know I did!

This week on Miami Vice: Valerie Gordon is back! Sadly, it's due to very unpleasant circumstances. Her childhood best friend Yvonne (CCH Pounder) is struggling with addiction and dealing with a violent dealer named Swain. Valerie flies into Miami after receiving a worrisome call from her Goddaughter, Lynette, and tries to help out Yvonne, but, things only unravel more once Swain is not content with taking Yvonne's money and dealing with her late payments. He suggests something very sinister, her daughter, which Yvonne agrees to. Yvonne ends up dead and Lynette is refusing to ID Swain or talk to anyone about what happened, which tickles Sonny's Spidey senses. Switek descends back into gambling, while Rico, the only happy person in this epsiode - albeit momentarily - can't see the forest through the trees because he's just so excited to have Valerie back. As the title of the episode suggests, will it be too late for them?

Robbing Peter to pay Paul has its consequences when he's leant counterfeit money (John Santucci is back!) and Jack is really in deep and needs Sonny's help. Sonny tries to smooth things over with the fabulously dressed kingpin who printed that counterfeit money himself - Escandero, to try and get his cousin out of trouble AGAIN!

This week on Miami Vice: Crockett and Tubbs are off to Cartagena with the help of Jimmy (Glenn Frey) to help pinpoint an agency leak that's resulting in the kidnapping and and deaths of smugglers and their families.

We are testing out some more categories! The Fashion segment now has a Wild Card! I wax a little too poetically about CanCon (sorry and I got the categories wrong haha), talk about what came first, Smuggler's Blues the song or the episode, the Miami Vice movie yay or nay (I'm in the nay camp, but I'll try to watch it again this weekend), do undercover cops do drugs to not blow their cover? and Crockett and Tubbs are working with the dad from Step Brothers!

This week on Miami Vice: Crockett and Tubbs try to set two young men set after catching them about to smuggle drug-filled statues in from Colombia. The first episode I ever saw features a young Evan Handler (that's Harry Goldenblatt to a different generation), boxing, arthouse cinema fashion and A+ acting from Don Johnson. I reminisce on how relaxed flying used to be and point out another GTA: Vice City trivia fact.
