THERE's nothing like a slice of Vice and the penultimate series of the cult '80s TV cop drama is worth checking out for a chuckle over many of the improbable storylines as the dynamic duo Crocket and Tubbs look to arrest failing ratings.

Among the 22 episodes are run-ins with a James Brown lookalike alien and protecting the body of a cryogenically frozen reggae singer! I kid you not.

It's hard to fathom why some of the storylines are so desperate as many of the episodes were penned by Dick Wolf (creator of Law and Order).

That said, it's still a mildly entertaining form of escapism and a chance to look back at the influence the show had on fashion, music and visuals.
