"I am a Junkie" Helena Bonham Carter | Guest Star | Miami Vice

[@leestockton9367]

The eternally beautiful Helena Bonham-Carter her eyebrows are put to great use in showing the emotional pain her character is suffering

[@floridalovegaming3982]

Spectacular acting from the one and only Don Johnson. Gotta feel bad for Sonny during this scene.

[@blackpeter70]

You know who DJ's biggest fan as an actor was? Michael Mann. He thought he was a brilliant actor. I just wish they'd gotten along better.

[@kcrnz]

We all watched Miami Vice because of Don Johnson but watching this clip we must say "Wow, Helena Bonham Carter" is a great actor as well and only aged 21.

35 years later this is as fresh and intense as anything made since. You could see HBC was a talent and Don Johnson is more real here than I’ve ever seen. Among the best scripts the show ever shot.

“Theresa” is one of Jan Hammer’s most beautiful works for Miami Vice 😎

[@Gzimkodra]

Awesome acting by johnson. One of my favorite actors.

[@MsSylkoZakur]

I remember this episode because I loved her in A Room with a View and Lady Jane, and I thought she was wayyyyy too young looking to be playing a doctor. She’s only 21 here but she looks 16.

[@DarkKnight-yz2wg]

This show was way ahead of its time, taking on topics that play out on a massive scale in our time: opioid crises field by the medical industrial complex.

[@ModMokkaMatti]

Corporate health care has been conspiring to destroy individuals since its inception, and the Catholic Cult has had a major role in this.

[@geoleo2597]

One of the most hauntingly beautiful love themes on MV, reflective of the most tragic love relationship for Crockett. The music portrays the deep love Crockett has for Theresa with the dilemma Crockett is faced with; save his relationship or save her. One of thee best MV episodes

[@CryptoX-kr3wu]

Gotta feel bad for Sonny. Every relationship he’s been in ends in disaster.

[@petersmithyy4556]

Is that a common trope for just about any TV show main actor? It's like a little Joe and Bonanza, he can never get the girl in the end. Also, isn't she like a lot younger than Don Johnson is here? She looks like a teenager and he looks like he's nearing forty

[@jowhit226]

It's more dramatic that way.

[@maryjanedeolivier5313]

My beautiful gentle Sonny Crockett! you did not deserve to go through this!! this lady betrayed you, and she is a junky!! my love you did well, to give her up!! even though, you tried so hard, to help her!!

[@jebclang9403]

4:50 That low-end microphone quality really sells it. Who says we need expensive equipment?

[@vegetasolo1221]

Early episodes had many of the elements of a standard police procedural, such as the explicit planning of busts, but as the series progressed these aspects were largely abandoned to allow for greater focus on the show's use of cool dialogue, crisp images and unexpected endings.

[@wreccen]

This was informative and well put👆

[@DarkKnight-yz2wg]

This show goes way beyond aesthetics. It was a diliberate attempt at showing how the futility of the war on drugs was in direct response to our government’s foreign meddling. The topics from this show are even addressed in today’s programs like Narcos.

[@lennyjay8390]

@@DarkKnight-yz2wg Should also be noted that the "aesthetics" of the show are commonly misunderstood. When we see Sonny Crockett sitting depressedly on his speed boat smoking a cigarette. It‘s not meant to say: "Look at this cool guy allowing himself to be emotional while still looking cool“ but it‘s rather a comment on consumer culture, showing Sonny's position between the empty luxuries of a dope dealer's new money and the all too real struggle of making sense of a world in which nothing is as it seems.

[@jadedandbitter]

@@lennyjay8390 I'd say its both. Crockett was always meant to look cool.

everybody praising don Johnson but Helena Bonham Carter sold this role. her emotions and just the small details made it soo believable and convincing. she's such an underrated actress.

The music in this one is terrific

[@goldfing5898]

The awesome Helena Bonham Carter (back then known from the movie "A Room With A View") in an awesome series with its awesome music (Jan Hammer's theme "Theresa" in this case). I still remember watching this episode from Season Three back in the 1980s. The talk in front of the white Ferrari Testarossa. And in the end, Crockett staring at the engagement ring in front of him in this white Testarossa.

I have to say, it was more believable HBC was a junkie than a surgeon, who's going out with a cop over 10 years her senior. Get real! It's like Nicole Kidman as a neurosurgeon in Days Of Thunder. I'm all for the suspension of disbelief, but COME ON!

I honestly never liked crime shows although I liked the actors most of my memories of Miami Vice are a few car chases, Castillo getting mad and dramatic endings with the boss walk with Jan Hammer Music, but I could not have told you what happened because I was probably playing with a Transformer or Legos, or drawing as I usually did when dad watched Miami Vice. However this episode was the one exception because I saw Helena Bonham Carter for the first time and it was like Gollum finding the ring of power.
