Miami Vice - Sonny Burnett Crime Arc
Following the close of the fourth season and beginning fifth season, Miami Vice committed to a story arc involving Sonny Crockett suffering amnesia and "becoming" a drug lord lieutenant and "ideas mind" willing to kill for the latest kingpin until he could seize and empire for himself, shooting his way through a lot of crime family people before his memory as a narcotics cop returned, mostly thanks to Tubbs. I hated this arc because I found no plausible reason he could ever be a police officer again, and, if anything, would go to prison. He kills a lot of people in cold blood, even shooting Tubbs! Crime families fall, Crockett, in the personality of Burnett even shoots a cop with a gun on him. I just refuse to believe Crockett, even if not in his right mind, could just snap back to his old self and return eventually to vice duty.
