Normally, something that looks as poor as Miami Vice would instantly draw the collective videophile world's ire and anger. A leak within the Joint Inter-Agency Task Force has caused immense damage, as an informant was killed, not to mention his family and two FBI agents. looks like a botch job, but this is more or less the picture Director Michael Mann and Cinematographer Dion Beebe composed and shot for the film. The trailer looks super cool, though I quite like the Jay-Z/Linkin Park song that accompanies it, so that helps.And given how similar the rest of the episodes are to the DVD colours and levels, I'd say it's very likely they have scanned whatever was the remastered source for the DVDs in 2005, as the work was recent enough that it may well have been suitable to derive the high definition picture and sound we are now seeing on Blu-ray from. However, as you say, the Blu-rays whilst not all full remasters like Brother's Keeper, are still the best the episodes have looked, and probably ever will look, at this stage in the game; with so many people now just downloading in one way or another, or streaming - none of which has the data rate of reading with a blue laser.

This and the buildings we can see plus the width of the street without any „island“ between directional lanes should match up somewhere with a long broad main road like Biscayne Bvd.
