The production value of this show hasn’t been done since!

[@nymike06]

The best Miami Vice. It's basically a mini movie. Great cast and excellent directing, acting and production. Better than any movie currently in the theaters.

[@SIKE01]

...and great score and soundtrack.

[@nymike06]

@@SIKE01Agreed!

[@parkjamesshaw3189]

AMEN

[@killersalmon4359]

I actually didn't like it when it first aired since I don't think I understood some elements of the story as they totally went over my head, but re-watching it recently, it all totally made sense.

[@rogerb1031]

I agree with you it was a masterpiece

MIAMI VICE: NYC is my favorite episode outside of the masterpiece movie pilot.

[@rogerb1031]

Agree 100. You figured they film this in spring of 85 because it premiered in September years later there is nothing like it every scene holds up a brilliant masterpiece

[@otisroseboro2837]

I agree I'm watching it right now on dvd i have seasons 1 & 2 best season's of Miami vice

[@responare]

Whoever edited this together great job!!!

[@ValarieJohnson]

Wow, thanks for putting this together. Some of the best background music was in this 2nd season opener. Great casting & NY in the 1980s...

[@thesilentdiva]

The camera work and Lighting in this episode is amazing

[@mrwill1779]

This could've easily been a movie

[@andyberridge4209]

🌴 MIAMI VICE 🌴😎 I had this episode on video back in the day. The best t.v show of all-time. Fast women, fast cars, drugs and rock n roll and a whacked out alligator, called Elvis. 🐊 (Gene Simmons 🎸 Kiss, Crazy Crazy Nights)

[@jacintobrigadeiro5608]

How wonderful it will be when someone could show us on youtube the full episodes of the most espectacular serie of the 80´s. And one of all times.

[@andrewberridge1629]

Miami Vice 🌴 cool, great episode.

[@killersalmon4359]

I re-watched this recently and I noticed something. I think everyone recognized that the Miami Vice movie contained a lot of element from Smuggler's Blues, but after rewatching Prodigal Son, I realized it also had elements of Prodigal Son, namely in that at the beginning, the op. sec. of a federal agency has been compromised and many of its agents killed, which means that Crockett and Tubbs get deputized as federal agents to try to flush out the killers. In Smuggler's Blues, the villain is a lone, corrupt DEA agent going after individual smugglers.

[@josephfuselier]

I have grown up in the 80s loving Miami Vice. Lived in Louisiana and Texas. Now I am in Perth Western Australia since December 25 1991. Went to J.B Hi-Fi . It is like Best Buy Electronics. Got the DvD box set Awesome! Prodigal Son and the music from Jan Hammer really is super cool.

[@lazarusagame]

Fantastic! Thanks so much for watching, Joseph! I'm so glad Miami Vice fans are still so passionate about the show!

[@sbgoldma]

Fantastic 👍👍 Agreed , it was a great episode.

[@babykosh5415]

Has there ever been a show like this since?

[@lazarusagame]

It's definitely one of a kind, IMHO. Thanks so much for watching, baby kosh!

[@robbycan]

great job this was a heck of a good trailer

[@lazarusagame]

Thank you for your kind words, Robby. I'm glad fans of the show are enjoying the trailers. Thanks so much for watching!

[@Kohlphoto1]

Great Job! Better than the other “trailer” I’ve seen. Posting it on a fan page!

[@lwbw33]

I remember I hated they went to New York on this episode. It lost that Miami feel. But I did love the guest appearance by Gean Simmons !!!

[@nymike06]

Gene Simmons was great in it. I thought the NYC backdrop was different and it helped. However, Crockett and Tubbs looked out of place in NYC in terms of their fashion and accent. But the Prodigal Son is a masterpiece and great TV.

[@parkjamesshaw3189]

THAT'S NEWTON WINDSOR BLADE BUBBA

[@parkjamesshaw3189]

NEWTON WINDSOR BLADE BROTHER

[@dalemcilwain]

In a way it stuck with the storylines with Tubbs arc. Tubbs went to Miami to persue Cardorne. In this episode, he returns to his hometown of NYC with his partner Crockett. It was a way for the show to tie in loose ends. I didn't like the way the New York cops treated Crockett & Tubbs. (Especially Tubbs)

[@christopherhoyt7195]

Well, it was essential to tie NY into Miami Vice to gain a larger audience. Miami barely had a million people back then, and was really a has been city compared to the 1930s-50s. NY was already over 8 million, and with Long Island and other suburbs over 10 million. People only thought about Florida for two weeks per year when they went snow-birding. If you want a hit show, you have to give the NY audience something they can relate too and the series premier and Prodigal Son nailed it.

[@evanescapades2513]

Fckn greatest trailer ever!!!!!! 10/10

[@stephenjacob7142]

Best episode in the series.

[@lazarusagame]

I really wish Paul Michael Glaser would've directed more episodes. Thank you so much for watching, Stephen!

[@dalemcilwain]

I remember this episode well. It was the only time I've watched Miami Vice outside of my home. The original airing was 2 hours. So it was a movie. Very good job to make it into a cinema movie edit.

[@lazarusagame]

You're absolutely right, Dale. This was the season 2 opening episode (2 hours). Thank you so much for watching!

[@devilsadvocate269]

This one is good one too. Love the change of scenery from Miami to NY. Rico trying to be tough against Charles Dutton (Tubbs would've lost that fight). The soundtrack was hot with Glenn Frey and Phil Collins. Then we meet the real Mr. Burns from the Simpsons at the end.😂 Wish they would have made a sequel to this episode.

[@jeffcadillac5674]

A GREAT episode. It showed that two cops from Miami could handle the grit of NYC in the 1980s, when NYC was still NYC. It also showed some depth into Ricardo's character (his connections and relationships) which they should have done more over the course of the series.

[@lazarusagame]

Absolutely correct. It's great to see fans of the show are still passionate about it. Thanks so much for watching, Jeff! Much appreciated!

Top five episodes in my book

[@warriors99bond]

The shootouts at Penn's place and at the end were well done. This is the best cop show and I rank The Prodigal Son as one of the best film to ever grace television. But a question - who is The Prodigal Son? IS it a reference to Rico as he returns to New York?

[@lindacollins903]

The shoot out at the end was at the base of the original World Trade Center

[@SonnyBurnett2012]

Nice editing

[@roedy2556]

One of the best episodes they made, oh and for the extra Info, Pam Grier was not my type

[@dciccantelli]

This was the first episode of season 2. I could be mistaken but I think it was longer so it was split into two episodes. Or else the show ran longer.

[@lazarusagame]

@@dciccantelli You’re absolutely correct. The story goes, Paul Michael Glaser, the director told Michael Mann the show was so hot that the 2nd season’s opening episode should be a two-hour episode, like the pilot. Mann agreed and made it so. Thanks so much for watching!

[@andyberridge6455]

Miami Vice 🌴 i hope they don't make anymore movies about Vice, they wouldn't hit the mark. Remember and love it for what it was, just a great Tv series set in the 80s.
