    Throwing away their badges after they realized they were fighting shadows in the dark was perfect. What an end of upbeat 80s🦩🌴🚗 giving way to the bleak 90s. Thank you for all the great content Morgan. Your insights into each episode was a side by side journey for us along with watching the series.💟

    This episode wasn't even included when you buy the box set of the first season. Which is criminal because this was one of the best episodes in the entire series. William Russ was fantastic.

    Great looking episodes which i would have loved to be a two-parter. Much more to explore in this story. And Crockett and Tubbs just disappear after a while. But they get their glorious night shoot-out from behind the Testarossa. Classic Vice imagery 👌

    This episode was in the ballpark of Rated-R & was unnecessarily violent towards women.

  • @ananya1721
    @ananya1721 18 днів тому

    This episode had such an early 90s aura around it. Vice unintentionally conveyed that the 90s had begun & these were the twilight episodes of the 80s decade of high.

    I quiet like her banter and persona. It was mostly Crockett that was bummed with his assignment and pretty rude to her. She was mostly getting even with him in a more playfull way.

    This episode was ahead of it's time. Things like this haven't changed but only gotten worse. With the rise of the manosphere recently, men have actually livestreamed such violence against women for views & walked away with minimum consequences. Also glad Trudy said that art like this perpetuates violence. Agree with you rating for this episode. 🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩

    5:20 "... somehow... I don't know how we did it..." // You don't? You've never been to an action toy aisle in the 80s? The name of the Imperial walker was written on the huge box of the KENNER toys "AT-AT" that every (male) kid born about 4 or 5 years earlier wanted to see under their Christmas tree. And there was also a more affordable 3.75 inch figure of the "AT-AT driver". Nobody knew how to pronounce it, but we all learned how to read then... last but not least BECAUSE we wanted to know the names of all the heroic and exotic characters that we saw on screen and on cards and boxes in the toy stores. :)

    I was expecting a freeze frame too when Archie died in Sonny's arms. But the grief filled angry kick was not over explanation. First the kid from Milk Run ep died on his watch & then Evan died in his arms (& a judge with gambling problem shot himself in front of him). I love the freeze frames but sometimes a catharsis is required. Not every time but sometimes a will man break.

  • @daanthing6002

    I liked this episode very much. The whole cast got something to do and had lost of interplay with eachother. I also didn't mind that they removed the ex-wife and kid from the series but once in a while it's good to know they exist. I was worried that it would be a complicated shooting and was glad that it was quickly clear that officially Crockett wasn't blamed. That the kid was a killer just gave the episode an extra layer of pessimistic Vice outlook. Like you said it didn'r really make a difference for the characters.

    when miami vice was aired on starz it was never shown and I was disappointed by it's not being shown is the mystery. What I like about Even was jan hammer's score I never forgot it. But for Universal not to air it is unfair to those miami vice fans. But Even's score I like too. In the final season Free Fall was favorite.

    I love this film, but Andrew McCarthy has stated to the effect that it was basically a mess of a production. Mainly the studio execs were like, hey, these are our kids you’re talking about here, so tread lightly. I love that aspect by the way, that it may have hit a little too close to home for them. McCarthy apparently had a better time making Weekend at Bernie’s:)

  • @chrisgrove7829

    ‘Evan’ is, hands down, the greatest episode of Miami Vice. They got so much right in it…the storyline, William Russ’ portrayal of Evan, Crockett’s anguish, and the incredible soundtrack.
