Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
If the first two seasons introduced one of the great television crime dramas, Homicide really came into its own during the third. Instead of the mere 13 episodes scattered between 1993 and 1994, NBC ordered up a full 20 for the 1994-1995 season. The entire terrific cast is back, with the exception of Jon Polito, whose absence is explained in the fourth episode ("Crosetti"). There are other changes, like the addition of Megan Russert (Isabella Hofmann) as shift commander. Aside from the fact that the mostly male staff now has a woman to report to (alongside Yaphet Kotto's Lt. Giardello), it turns out that Russert has a "history" with one of the detectives. Homicide always excelled in its exploration of racial and office politics; now sexual politics would become a bigger issue. Religion also comes to the fore as Pembleton (Andre Braugher) is finally forced to confront the loss of his faith while working on a case ("The White Glove Murders") involving several aid workers (episodes 1-3). Meanwhile, his partner, Bayliss (Kyle Secor), is coming to resemble the naive young rookie of the first two seasons less and less by the second... while getting to enjoy a little more romance than the rest of the squad--especially the hapless Meldrick (Clark Johnson). But all is not sturm and drang. Humor still finds a place in each episode and Munch (Richard Belzer) still gets many of the best lines. In the season premiere ("Nearer My God to Thee"), for instance, he tells Bolander (Ned Beatty), "There is no such thing as gratuitous sex. Gratuitous violence, yes... Sex cannot and will not ever be gratuitous." He could be describing Homicide itself, in which nothing is ever gratuitous, especially the sudden loss of human life, which is never--and should never be--treated lightly. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

So far, the third season of this show is still my favorite, I think the writers and the actors really started to hit their stride and do the show right. After this season, I feel the show started to slip a little bit, possibly by over-reaching to compete with the more shock-driven Law & Order. As a fan of both shows, I don't feel this was really necessary.
My only complaint is that the DVDs do not feature Closed Captions or English Subtitles for the Hearing Impaired. There are a lot ... Read More

Hands down, this is the primo TV police series of all time - and please believe me when I say I know whereof I speak. Everything about this series - the somewhat run-down, out-of-date precinct house, the squabbles over cases - even the lunch thefts from the community refridgerator - all ring true and fresh. Al Giardello (Yaphet Kotto) presides over a squadroom of detectives who are prickly, proud, argumentative - but dogged in their pursuits of homicide perpetrators. They squabble ceaselessly amongst ... Read More

Season 3 was better than I tought it was going to be. I'm just upset that this show isn't on the air anymore because it's so good!

Excellent series. Many terrific episodes in this season. I'd've given it five stars, but it hasn't any captions and the extras seem rather paltry. Lots of great characters and nice storylines. Good story arcs with the detective shootings, the bar opening, etc. Two of the stand-out episodes are "Every Mother's Son" and "Gas Man."

In my opinion, season three, the first full season of Homicide, was the best. The ratings had been anemic in seasons one and two, so that it was often called during that time "the best TV show you're not watching". Hoping to improve ratings, NBC insisted on a number of changes, both cosmetic and thematic. Unfortunately, talented but unphotogenic veteran actor Jon Polito was ordered dropped from the cast as the network clamored for more on-screen romance and violence. In order to have episodes the network ... Read More
