it's absolutely the better adaptation of Red Dragon, Michael Mann is really underrated overall, even counting Heat; because of Miami Vice.

This is really stupid because the early Miami Vice episodes in the first couple seasons where he had an actual influence and impact on the show actually owns. Once Dick Wolf joined the show thats when it actually went to poo poo and you can see the genesis of why all crime procedurals are loving terrible now.

Also Manhunter loving owns how was that not a massive loving hit in the 80s

Did he direct the show? I thought he only did the TV.

He was a producer and had a pretty big impact on the style and its particular direction in the early years. If you watch it and you've seen enough Michael Mann films you can definitely see he had a pretty significant input into production.

I'm really an impassioned advocate for early Miami Vice because I think its criminally underrated and everyone associates that show just with the Testarossa even though the show was trash by the time Sonny gets the Testarossa. I think the episode with Bruce Willis as an arms dealer is loving high point and I'm not sure how they convinced the network to air such a nihilist ending to the episode backing the mid 80s lol
