It has all the establishing elements of any self-respecting pilot, but "Brother's Keeper" works best as a TV movie, and a fairly explosive on at that. Crockett and Tubbs, two cops with clashing styles forced to work together to bring down a drug kingpin. It's a tenuous partnership and an uncertain start to such a smooth and glossy TV series, but it fits in the context of a great cop story.
But no matter how you look at it, this is great television. It's brimming with macho dialogue, pulses with energy, and it's one of my favorite episodes of the show. The high fashion, shootouts, car/boat chases, they're all here in fine "Miami Vice" form. Not only that, but it features Phil Collins' "In the Air Tonight", which might be the show's greatest MTV segment.
This is highly watchable stuff.
10/10
