When I first discovered the show, although I didn't have the privilege of seeing it as a kid as I'm sure most of you guys have but I was lucky enough to have stumbled across it online and get curious about it, and decided to give the pilot a shot. Man I was not expecting all that. It had everything I loved, the clothes, the atmosphere, the music and the characters stood out to me almost immediately, especially Crockett. And so I binge watched it till the finish and although the show may have lost direction towards the latter seasons, I still very much enjoyed it because of the people, music etc. I was a sophomore in high school actually when I started watching and it was the worst year I had, my depression really reached its peak and I was failing almost all my classes, even going so far as to consider suicide as a way out. But this show, something about it just had me clinging on. Seeing a guy like Crockett who would appear as the macho, superman know it all but he lost his friends in line of fire, he witnessed victims commit suicide and it left him distraught, it changed his character and left an impact on just about everyone. It gave me hope and something to look forward, a smile everytime he delivered a funny line or acted snazzy, or just whooped the crap out of a baddie. It immersed me in a way I've never felt before and I felt like I was part of their universe, like I knew them but I sadly did not. I guess this show kind of saved me, in some ways I never imagined it could. I personally don't like the cliche of "Oh this tv show stopped me from killing myself!" but this might be the one time I can make an exception here. Of course I'd also like to thank the cast for being part of this beautiful process but since it's Don's birthday, this one goes out to him. Happy Birthday. Don Johnson as Sonny Crockett has had a positive effect on all of us here, Assasinge but I'm happy to hear how much more Miami Vice influenced your life!! If you need any help …..let me know.
