Plot summary
James "Sonny" Crockett works undercover for the Metro-Dade vice squad, a job that has already cost him his marriage because his wife cannot stand the strain. When his partner Eddie Rivera is killed by a car bomb during a deal with a small-time dealer, Crockett turns his attention to Calderone, the Colombian he has been trying to reach. A New York detective, Rico Tubbs, arrives in Miami hunting the same man, and both complain that someone on the inside is passing information to the drug trade. Lieutenant Lou Rodriguez proposes that the two work the case together, though neither man likes it. Crockett also starts seeing a fellow detective, Gina Calabrese.

Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- The pilot's "In the Air Tonight" sequence was visually inspired by Edward Hopper's painting Nighthawks, and its "Bernay's Cafe" neon sign, visible when Crockett makes a phone call, was added by the art department even though no café appears; the scene also has no diegetic engine sounds.
- Michael Mann was set on making the show as colorful as possible, and took the pastel palette from Miami's Art Deco era.
