Miami Vice -- Dangerous Nights (Little Miss Dangerous 2)
It was back on today at noon, but this Miami Vice episode just feels like it belongs on your tube at midnight. It has that seedy feel and the subject matter -- a foster home repeater (and clearly abuse victim) who is 18 years old named Jackie is on the streets of Miami and big star of a Sex World club stage act with a disturbed lover so devoted to her he is willing to look the other way and clean up serial killings of guys she picks up (or offers to pay for sexual services -- is perfectly skeevy, the kind of episode that Miami Vice was born to portray. Tubbs is different than other men who see Jackie as just a sexual object, a body to fuck. Tubbs wants her to get help, offering rehab services, unaware she's the "Miami ripper". The ending has that gulp-in-the-throat punch-in-the-gut feel we all grew up expecting on Miami Vice.
