Where to Watch The Vice in the US

The Vice makes every episode count, and right now it's all streaming on Amazon Prime Video and beyond. A strong pick for any crime fan.

British production values give The Vice a feel distinct from American and international alternatives. The Vice is an ITV police drama about the Metropolitan Police Vice Unit. Spanning five short series from 1999 and 2003, it follows the London Metropolitan police force's vice squad, where prostitution, underage sex, and such organised crime are regular occurrences. Most episodes end where the main villain is caught but often not in a 'naturally' concluded way expected from other TV dramas, and often ending with more unanswered questions than answered. Caroline Catz and David Harewood lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. The series ran for 5 seasons (1999–2003), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly.

Crime and mystery fans will find exactly what they're after here — if Nicholas Nickleby is in your watch history, The Vice belongs there too. It works equally well as a long binge or episode-by-episode over a few weeks.
