Miami Vice: Whatever Works (1985)
Season 2, Episode 2
8/10
Love this one!
1 June 2021
This might be one of my favorite episodes so far in the series, written by the great Maurice Hurley. There's so much going on here to make it stand out (some episodes have a little too much generic, faceless gang shootouts in my opinion). Of course I loved the surprise cameo by Power Station, not just John Taylor and Michael Des Barres, but also Andy Taylor and Tony Thompson who are not credited. The inclusion of Santeria was surprisingly respectful for the time, and seems to imply the Captain may, at least at one time, may have been a practitioner. I love whenever background is added to the main characters. Of course Eartha Kitt is always divine. I do wish the bad guys were a bit more developed because final confrontation would have had more emotional impact, but there's just so much you can do in 45-50 minutes.
