Bryan Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 So many classics, especially from the first three seasons but I choose "Out Where the Buses Don't Run" as my favorite. Excellent performance from Bruce McGill and an unforgettable ending. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vicegirl85 Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 So hard to choose! In no particular order: Out Where the Buses Don't Run Evan Definitely Miami Golden Triangle When Irish Eyes are Crying Bought and Paid For Redemption in Blood 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daytona74 Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 (edited) I think my all-time favorite episode is Lombard. I just really like the story, and the way it is told. And The Home Invaders. Possibly also Evan. In season two, it's definitely Bushido that I enjoyed the most. Generally, I like all episodes, especially the early ones, that go very deep into Film Noir. The whole Calderone arc, as well as Golden Triangle and Bushido are great examples of that. And of course Evan. Miami Vice really hit the ground running early on with its then-modern take on Film Noir, and I really like that. It's almost difficult to find an early episode that's not steeped in elements of the Film Noir "genre". Later on in the series, they tried off-and-on to revisit all that, but IMO only with mild success.

Dadrian Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 Has anyone mentioned the pilot? It has a few weaknesses (as does any pilot), but it's gotta be one of my favorite episodes. It's always fresh. It's always exciting. It always fills me with a sense of newness and encouragement about what great things were to become with all my other favorite episodes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castillo71 Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 My favourite despite too many great ones is.....from S3: SHADOW IN THE DARK. Masterpiece. Period. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivoryjones Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 (edited) Considering that favorite does not mean necessarily the best, I'd choose a fantastic episode that, though it is certainly not the best, it is always a very dramatic experience to me, no matter how many times I've watched it: "Mirror Image" Edit note: I'm probably contradicting myself (previous posts), because over the years we tend to see great things on eps that we would not pay that much attention before Edit note #2: I had to check it and I did elect "Mirror Image" as my favorite in this very thread, in 2009 (funny how for many things we're just the same person, more so than we tend to think) Edited December 30, 2016 by ivoryjones 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impossible to truly narrow it down to even a short list for me, but if pressed, the first few that come to mind: Out Where the Buses Don't Run Evan Definitely Miami Phil the Shill Smuggler's Blues I'm often very fond of the Phil Collins episode, as it seems to include so many classic elements of the series. ..(And, well, Phil Collins. I always wished he would have returned and reprised that role. Happiest New Year wishes to everyone! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with sharing opinions here! We all have our faves and not faves. That's one of the great things about this forum. I am interested to know if there are any specific things that turn you off the Evan episode. I will admit some of the scenes are a little discomforting, but I just assume they were designed to be. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViceFanMan Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 (edited) Favorite episode of all-time? Well, for me hands down the 2-part Hit List & Calderone's Demise (later called Calderone's Return Pts 1&2 in syndication) are the ultimate MV episodes! They have everything and sizzled with: non-stop action, music, color, wild plot twists, and the whole thing mesmerizes you! Other superb favorites include: Pilot--Brothers Keeper, The Great McCarthy, Smuggler's Blues, Evan, Out Where the Buses Don't Run, Definitely Miami, Tale of the Goat, One Way Ticket, Little Miss Dangerous, Payback, When Irish Eyes Are Crying, Shadow In the Dark, El Viejo, By Hooker By Crook, Heroes of the Revolution, Death and the Lady, Child's Play, God's Work, Love At First Sight, etc... These are just a few of ones I love and consider some of the best! Edited May 27, 2017 by ViceFanMan 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it's not my "all-time" favorite episode...Shadow In the Dark is definitely one of my favorites for sure! But, to me what makes this episode truly terrifying is that it was based off a real-life case in the Miami area years before!
