Miami Vice
 

Having so far failed to locate a time machine capable of taking me back to the 80s, I did the next best thing and bought the complete series set on Fleabay.
Although cop shows do lose a lot of their luster once you figure out how the world really works, this is still one of the best and definitely had the best soundtrack of any cop show ever made.

I haven't watch that show in many years.

:lol: Yup.... "Cop as free roaming, autonomous action-hero". Basically the root explanation of almost every 80's action flick.

"I'm a cop".
"He's a cop who was ex-special forces".
"He did special ops in Baghdad in that battle no one wants to discuss before I recruited him to my force".

The "supercop" explanation that spanned everything from "Leathal Weapon" to.... everything else.
