Vice (stylised as VICE) is a documentary television series created and hosted by Shane Smith of Vice magazine. It covers topics using an immersionist style of documentary filmmaking on Showtime. It premiered on April 5, 2013, on HBO. The show's second season aired in 2014 and won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Informational Series or Special.[1]

The show originally was executive-produced by Bill Maher, Shane Smith, and Eddy Moretti, and CNN journalist Fareed Zakaria was credited as a consultant.[2][3]

On May 7, 2014, HBO renewed the series for two more seasons. The 14-episode third season began March 6, 2015, one week after the hour-long "Killing Cancer" aired on February 27. Vice's sixth season aired on April 6, 2018.[4] On March 25, 2015, HBO announced Vice's renewal through Season 7.[5]

The show's cancellation was announced on February 1, 2019, making the sixth season its last season on HBO.[6] However, on September 24, the series was picked up by Showtime and resumed on March 29, 2020.[7] On July 30, 2020, the series was renewed for an eighth season that premiered on March 7, 2021.[8][9] On February 7, 2022, the series was renewed by for its ninth and tenth season.[10] In July 2023, the series was removed from the Showtime streaming app, with Vice News shopping it to other outlets.[11]

Synopsis

The show follows Vice journalists and founders, Shane Smith and Suroosh Alvi with segment hosts Ryan Duffy and Thomas Morton as they went to different parts of the world. They interviewed people on political and cultural topics. Subjects included political assassinations, young weapons manufacturers, child suicide bombers, Indian and Pakistani border politics, the Chinese one-child policy, climate change, and bonded laborers in Pakistan's brick kilns, featuring the work of human and labor rights activist Syeda Ghulam Fatima.

Correspondents

Release and reception

The first episode aired on HBO on April 5, 2013, and was available for free via YouTube.[24] The series is the first televised program for VICE, featuring Vice staff as correspondents.

Politics, culture, and drugs are the main focuses of the Vice series. The show has received both positive and negative reviews because of its unique, provocative presentation and style. Some compare it to a gonzo type of journalism.[25][26] Maureen Ryan of The Huffington Post wrote a negative review of the show, due to its presentation.[27] Rolling Stone magazine has written that: "It feels a little like your buddy from the bar just happened to be wandering through eastern Afghanistan with a camera crew."[28] In June 2013, the show was covered extensively in mainstream media for documenting a basketball game with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un. Vice correspondents have filmed from the inside of crack-cooking kitchens in Atlanta to Haitian secret societies in talk of zombie powder.[29]

Vice News Tonight

Main article: Vice News Tonight

Vice News Tonight is a nightly news program that debuted on October 10, 2016, on HBO, marking a significant expansion of Vice Media's news coverage. This spin-off was designed to offer a more concentrated news format, focusing on delivering timely updates and in-depth analysis of current events. The show quickly established itself with a distinctive approach, combining Vice Media’s renowned immersive journalism with the immediacy of daily news reporting.

The program featured a mix of hard news, investigative pieces, and special reports, reflecting Vice's commitment to exploring complex and often underreported stories. With its focus on providing a comprehensive view of global and domestic issues, Vice News aimed to engage viewers with its unique perspective on the news.

In 2020, Vice News Tonight underwent a relaunch and was reintroduced on the Vice cable network. This transition was part of Vice Media’s strategy to adapt to changing media consumption trends and maintain its presence in the competitive news landscape. The relaunch allowed the program to continue delivering its distinctive brand of journalism on a platform closely aligned with Vice Media's broader content ecosystem.

The shift from HBO to the Vice cable network represented a strategic move to leverage Vice Media’s existing resources and audience reach. The program retained its core focus on in-depth reporting and investigative journalism, now with an updated format to fit the new platform.

Despite the change in network, Vice News Tonight continued to offer viewers an engaging and informative news experience, staying true to its roots while evolving with the times. The show’s ability to adapt and maintain its unique journalistic approach underscores Vice Media’s commitment to delivering high-quality news content.

Pulled episode

It was reported in June 2023 that Showtime pulled an episode of the series originally scheduled to air on May 28, 2023. The episode, "The Gitmo Candidate & Chipping Away", was scheduled to air four days after Ron DeSantis officially announced he was entering the 2024 Presidential race. In the scrubbed promo for the episode, it described Seb Walker investigating claims that DeSantis witnessed acts condemned by the United Nations as torture during his time as a JAG officer in the Navy at Guantanamo Bay.[30][31][32][33][34][35]
