To put the series into words is difficult. You have to watch it. The more you watch, the you are pulled in to the lives of of the unit. The creators and actors do an amazing job. Andre Braugher is incredible., as well as the rest of the cast. For those who live in Maryland and spent any time growing up in Baltimore, the series is very sentimental and hits home- unfortunately sometimes too well...

I cannot give a good review at this time.The Picture was good, but their was no close captioning available. I'm very hard of hearing, so I need that close-captioning with anything I watch. Thank You, Roberta Thies

There has never been {and probably} never will be a crime drama like Homicide: Life on the Streets. It broke the ground in terms of originality, realism & cutting edge.
Despite low ratings homicide lasted seven seasons and still managed to mainting unbelievable consistency in quality.
I truly suggest the viewer see all seven seasons of Homicide. I don't even think you have to watch the seasons in order to appreciate them either {I watched the 7th season first and the 4th season last}.
But should you start at the beginning, there are some things I should mention.
1. Seasons 1 & 2 are probably closest to the David Simon book{Homicide Life on the Killing Streets} upon which the series is based upon. Most of the Stories from these episodes are based on cases in the real book {LaTonya Wallace case, Geraldine Parrish murders} You actually may be watching the show as it was envisioned by David Simon. This is something you may not get in subsequent seasons.
2. This is in my opinion the best cast that the show had in it's many seasons. For many fans there was an emotional attachment to these characters that has made them more than just TV detectives. Many of these characters did not survive the full seven seasons {some of them LITERALLY did not survive!!!} Johnny Polito's much subdued Det. Crossetti was a quirky delightful character that had such a good chemistry with Det. Meldrick Lewis. Kay Howard was a hard edged female cop that while not being a traditional beauty, actually provided some very subtle sexuality to the character. Det. Beau Felton was an absolute riot in the series during these first two seasons. His scenes with Frank Pembleton were some of the wittiest dialogue in the series. Det. Bolander was a character that despite his crusty old persona was actually a character that actually became the key romantic interest in the series!!! Some wonderful fond characters that were missed when they departed the series.
3. The first six episodes can be considered a six parter in ways. They start with the intro of the characters in "Gone for Goode" and resolves with the phenomenal "Three Men & Adina".
4. Probably the only down side to this season was the "letdown" that occurs once we get past "Three Men & Adina". There is just a sort of letdown in intensity that doesn't come back until the excellent "Bop Gun".
