Miami Vice: Season 4, Episodes 16-19

Episode 4.16 Honor Among Thieves? - A paedophile with a china doll fixation is killing young girls with high grade cocaine and even has the bad guys after him (partly 'morally' and partly because of the affect he's having on their trade). This one is dark and tense, a really good episode with nice twists and turns as it's revealled how high up the perpetrator is connected and with who... though it is let down by a bit of a silly ending. There's a good use of Aerosmith's "Rag Doll" on the soundtrack as a bonus.

Episode 4.17 Hell Hath No Fury - An apparently reformed rapist is released early and a media circus follows his attempts to publically apologise to his victim as she gets more and more scared.Good episode all round (though it's a bit unfair to imply all gun range users wear cammo gear and are wannabe mercenaries) as everyone tries to "make things right" but each one slips into murkier and darker territory as they do so...a clever little twist too.

Episode 4.18 Badge of Dishonor - Good high octane "who's dirty" episode as possible cops start ripping off dealers mildly reminiscent of 'The Shield' but without any of that show's characters' redeeming attitudes. Nicely handled "who can you trust" theme and some decent characters... the standout reggae track "Eyes of a Stranger" on the soundtrack works well too.

Episode 4.19 Blood & Roses - The episode does come over as little sexist as Crockett worries if fellow cop Gina can handle the undercover assignment with big bad dealer (she has been doing this job for some time!) which to an extent is demonstrated to be a realisitic worry as she lets it go "too far". It is at least it is shown that the major problems/failures aren't her fault despite this, though the final shootout does ask an interesting question, maybe for the viewer to answer, about her choices throughout and the final result. Solid above average episode overall.
