![]() I do like the way the Nash reboot is kind of making fun of millenials (according to the trailer) which is making the old cops look like the cool guys. It simply won't work nor will a studio even try unless they make it in a crappy 'Starsky and Hutch remake' version, made for laughs.No thanks, not interested to see people make a version where they will take the piss out of our favorite series. My conclusion is that it is possible, but we need to change our expectations: an 80's style Vice will never be back. Vice in the 80's was so much different than today a lot of 80's content/dialogue etc would be considered completely unacceptable today. Woke culture: probably the biggest issue. Will this work in 2021 and beyond? What kind of music would we get? Kanye instead of Phil Collins? It would be more like a Bad Boys movie instead of a stylized TV series MTV style this was very much of the time with artists getting their music in Vice episodes. When we talk about drugs today, it is opioid addicted crackheads who are living like zombies on the streets, shooting up Chinese/Mexican crap in their veins. There was something 'cool' about drugs in those days. Drug scene: Coke was glamorous in its own way it was for the rich and famous, coke dealers were kind of like celebrities. If he will come back, will a studio even accept this, besides maybe a cameo? PMT: hasn't done anything in 20 years, which is quite incredible. ![]() Storyline: DJ said it well with all the data and cell phones how realistic is it for Crockett to be an undercover cop driving around in a Ferrari without being caught within 48 hours? It was already a stretch in the 80's, it is practically impossible in today's world TV landscape: production values of Netflix productions etc are fantastic for a lot of series there is a lot more money in television/ streaming services these days. It is the reason why a Nash reboot could work too. Nostalgia: With all the crap that is going on in the world, I believe people are starving for some good old fashioned entertainment. Fashion: the 80's look could be brought back in a modern style you are seeing some of the Vice colours back in fashion, obviously in a different tailored version. It is a real shame that he wasted 10-15 years with crap and that he looked unfit (fat) for at least that same time too (just look at Moondance Alexander, where he looks like John Candy) but now he looks very slim and fit. Actors: DJ looks more fit than at the end of Nash in 2001. Miami: a different city than in the 80's obviously, but still a diverse, amazing city that never is boring to photograph. The characters: Crockett, Tubbs, Castillo are strong written characters that could still work today. Even Hammer is bringing out new material, so he can be brought back, although unlikely. And we all know how important the music was. Believe it or not, with Synthwave music, you can bring an updated, modern version of Vice's music style to the screen again. I can give you my opinion about opportunities and issues with a reboot: Although especially the pilot was a total rip off of Vice's pilot I think you and me are the only 2 people that have watched Fast Lane and enjoyed it. ![]() Why a reboot should be linked to the reality (as the miami vice movie tried to do, being a boring movie made for reality lived by cops)? Having Crockett and Tubbs, maybe some (not many) different ideas could be developed.not necessary the two retired cops that came from the nursing home to solve a misterious case. And needless to say, a "candy store" full of great cars and so on.there was nothing to do with reality of a LAPD, or MDPD. The Fastlane series was an updated miami vice. I'd find other things to watch.or more likely read. If people want to wheel Crockett and Tubbs out of retirement in some kind of "Vice She Wrote" farce, go for it. But I also recognize that sometimes it's actually best to start over instead of recycling something just to make a quick buck or cash in on past successes. I don't deify Vice.there are many things it got wrong, did poorly, or only partially touched on. Then why not start from scratch with a new show and a new name rather than trying to ride the coattails of something that has already been done? Why not actually be innovative instead of latching onto (and ruining in all likelihood) the cachet of the earlier show? Maybe you should develop "Miami Dade Park Rangers" and follow two park rangers on their quest to prevent the extinction of Elvis' descendants in the Everglades. there are plenty of good directions to explore for a good revival. I love the show because i felt in love with Miami city when i was a kid. Miami vice the 80s series is a TV series, it's not Moses tablets neither. i don't see what could prevent one to reuse the name. it's the name of a department of the MDPD. ![]() Miami vice is not the series exclusivity.
