miami vice is that it was not dead. very much, the approach was okay, the call is a television series but we will make one- hour movies every single week. >> they were just describing the show as a new wave of cop show. >> it's a capture for the '80s. we use a lot of mtv images and rock music to help describe the mood and feeling of our show. >> in a lot of ways, you don't get miami vice without mtv. because in a lot of ways miami vice was a long video. the music was a big part of that show. >> there is an allure to using great music that everybody was listening to, as opposed to the routine kind of tv scoring of that period . >> is not afraid to let long scenes drag out.
