That was an excellent one.

Simply Perfect

The first must-see film of the year.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

I ORDERED THE ENTIRE SERIES IN NOVEMBER AFTER LOOKING HIGH AND LOW FOR THE SHOW AND FINALLY FOUND IT ON AMAZON. I ENJOYED HOMICIDE: LIFE ON THE STREET WHEN IT WAS ON TELEVISION BUT COMPLETELY ENJOYED IT FROM NOVEMBER THRU TODAY - JANUARY 2018! THESE WERE SOME OF THE BEST ACTORS IN THE BUSINESS AND I FELT EACH WERE PART OF MY FAMILY DURING MY VIEWINGS. REALIZING THAT I HAD MISSED SEVERAL SHOWS WAS A EXTRA TREAT BECAUSE I WAS ABLE TO CAPTURE ALL OF THE MISSING LINKS. THE WRITERS DID A SUPREME JOB BY PULLING ALL OF THE CHARACTERS TOGETHER IN THE MOVIE VERSION. THE MOVIE WAS THE BONUS DVD INCLUDED IN THE PACKAGE. AND THE WAY THEY BROUGHT IN THE TWO DETECTIVES WHO DIED BY SUICIDE AND IN THE LINE OF DUTY WAS OUTSTANDING AND BROUGHT REAL CLOSURE TO THE SERIES.THERE WILL NEVER BE A SHOW LIKE HOMICIDE AND I MIGHT ADD NONE OF THE CURRENT CRIME SHOWS WILL EVERY MEET THE LEVEL OF ENTERTAINMENT THAT HOMICIDE PROVIDE. THE BEST TO EACH AND EVERYONE INVOLVED AND KEEP UP THE OUTSTANDING WORK!

in general, there were several characters played by certain actors were quite memorable. the first one is Yaphet Kotto who played Lt. Al Giardello. Andre Braugher who played Frank Pembleton, Kyle Secor played Tim Bayliss, Ned Beatty/Stanley Bolander, Clark Johnson/Meldrick Lewis. these mentioned above were all great casting jobs and all well performed realistically: ~the most pathetic character created in this series was Beau Felton, played by Daniel Baldwin, this character spent more time dealing with his domestic marital problems instead of detecting. ~Melissa Leo played the character as Kay Howard, she performed pretty well, but she's too tiny and short for being a detective, her hairs were always messy, wearing jackets or coats 2 sizes larger and longer, and the way she spoke when she delivered the dialog was often blurry, incomprehensible.~Isabella Hofmann, another dubious character who didn't look convincingly like a high ranking officer, the affair she involved with Beau was shallow and unfounded. but after naming these characters played by these actors, i have to point out that the most disgusting and inappropriate character created in this series as a 100% unqualified detective was that John Munch character, played by a quite disturbing horse-faced and the most dis-likable Richard Belzer. i didn't know how this kind of lowlife sleazy scumbag could become a detective, because most of the time, he was just messed around in the station, did lip services and non-detective jobs, nosy, privy and gossipy, meddling other detectives' personal matters, dodging duties, wisecracking with self-righteous excuses; a very inappropriate, out-of-placed character created carelessly or, purposefully(?) to make the viewers feel disgusted whenever he appeared in the series? a character created maliciously.but i have to say, the most memorable character in this drama series is: 'Lt. Al Giardello' and Yaphet Kotto just being superb playing that role!! and the runner-up memorable character is Frank Pembleton, played by Andre Braugher, an arrogant but smart and dedicate detective, although Braugher performed perfectly, the character he played was respectable but not likable. again, i have to repeat my most hateful and disgusted feeling against the John Munch character, simply couldn't believe such cockroach-like person as being a detective; a completely unnecessary cast.then, when the series ran into season 4, it gradually lost its shine and attraction, new characters such as Det. Lennie Briscoe played by the droopy eye-lids Jerry Orbach and Det. Rey Curtis by Bejamin Brett; two definitely unlikable and unconvincing enough characters in addition to the disgusting character, John Munch, who later shifted into "law & order", i simply could not care less and less.the worst part of this series is it was inserted with several "law & order" episodes that didn't fit in at all.

Yes even better than Law and Order and CSI. As it portrays really gritty and really violent. As also really in your face. With a one camera angle that would really open the door to several other shows like "The Office and Brooklyn Nine Nine that stars one of the actors on the show, the great Andre Braugher.It was shot on location in Baltimore MD. As the ensemble cast had witty Richard Belzer who would have his John Munch go on ten shows besides this and Law and Order SVU. Future Oscar winner Melissa Leo, Ned Beatty, Yaphett Kotto as the worried boss LT G.One gritty show and really well written and produced by the great director Barry Levinson! You don't see shows like this now a days!

Thanks for the updates on the real story behind the victim. Because it had no closure on the child's killer, only the suspects, I had my suspicious who might have done it. Which was the last suspect at the end. In the three men Adriena. Now that I know about the episode, of the book that were explained to from by the episode, and not wondering what's missing,I don't have to figure out who might have molested this little girl. I understand Bayliss wanted to closed the Deanna Watson's case so he can prove something to his Lt. That he can handle it by working on it as a primary for the case. It can be hard, not giving up on it to the matter is solved. But the story in the book,is a true story,and they haven't found the real killer yet either.
