Diehard fans boiled it down to initials: H:LotS was TBDSoTV The Best Damn Show on Television. As gritty as its Baltimore environs and as messy as the murders dumped on its detectives, the one-hour drama hit its stride from the moment it debuted on NBC in 1993. With Baltimore auteur Barry Levinson serving as executive producer, Homicide mustered a superb ensemble cast: Andre Braugher as the intensely introspective Pembleton; Ned Beatty as blustery Bolander; Richard Belzer as wisecracking Munch; and Yaphet Kotto as Lt. Al "Gee" Giardello, the squad's chief and moral compass. Levinson himself directed the Emmy-winning pilot, which introduces rookie Tim Bayliss Kyle Secor and many of the show's signature technical elements. These include jittery, handheld camera shots, fast-cut repetitions that underscore emotional dialogue, and open-ended cases that may remain in red on the infamous Board for weeks or even years. Bayliss's first case, the murder of 11-year-old Adina Watson, haunts him throughout the show's six-year run. Many of these scripts are based on actual Baltimore cases chronicled in David Simon's book Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets. But even tales drawn from the producers' imaginations smack painfully of real life. Partners routinely bicker and banter while sifting through clues left in disturbing bits of flesh, skull, and intestine. The Emmy-winning "Three Men and Adina" gives Bayliss and Pembleton just 12 hours to grill their prime suspect before he's released -- and we feel every minute tick by. In "Bop Gun," Robin Williams redeems his string of sappy movies with an edgy performance as a tourist whose wife is killed during a holdup. Episodes rarely wrap up neatly, which may help explain why Homicide never killed in the ratings. But the show, now stripped of commercials, plays magnificently on DVD, where you can delve deeply into complex characters and convoluted story lines. Smart episode commentary by the show's creators only add to this set's considerable charms.

    Springboard for excellent TV

    I've not bought this item yet, but I am ordering it...I used to watch it when it first aired. Great writing, great characters...and it was created by the same minds that went on to bring "The Wire" to cable. This is not the usual police procedural. This show made me a big fan of Andre Braugher and Kyle Secor...and the rest of the cast. It made me appreciate good, smart writing, which I try to find in other shows. I think this series was under-appreciated...it deserves a look. You won't be disappointed.

    A reviewer

    This is literally like an introduction to a homicide squad as we enter with Bayliss, the series's most sensitive, contradictory, and mysterious characters. The greatest ensemble of characters mustered on a police show, Andre Braugher steals the attention as the thoughtful, steaming, rampaging, brilliant, and difficult Pembleton, who starts out as a loner in Season One to gain affection for the rookie Bayliss. The chemistry between them is stunning as it forms the basic two seasons and the case of "Adena Watson" haunts brings them the two formidable minds together, as their partnership is the most serious and philosophical of the shift room. The core of Belzer as the satirical, wisecracking Munch yet ever the conspiracy theorist and downtrodden romantic along with his equally lazy and melancholy Bolander. Then you cannot forget Corsetti, Lewis, Felton, Howard, and of course, G.

    From Maria, First, Scott is 100% right.

    I'm writing this just before I order it, because I watched the series on t.v. and know what a GREAT show this was. Having a busy lifestyle and no time to watch t.v., I MADE time to watch Homicide each week. So, you won't be sorry if you order it if you like quality viewing, no 'fluff' & great acting. ENJOY!!!

    Television at its best!!

    One of the best shows of all time. Great cast,Great writing,original style. Better than most films you will see. Give it a try if you are not familiar. If you are and dont agree,go back to watching Full House reruns.
