Rating: - Words Can't Describe How Good This Show Is
Homicide: Life on the Street is not only the greatest cop drama of the 90's, it's one of the best ever. It's authentic settings, great acting, and great storylines were what made it so great. Now you can relive the entire story through this DVD.

Homicide did go through a lot of cast changes but those who stuck around really grew. If you look at Bayliss in the first season and then look in the seventh season, there's a big change in his character and that showed that the writers could show great character development. It was a shame though that Pembleton left after season six because I doubt anyone was sick of his character. He was after all the guy who nailed the murderer of Jake the Dog back in season 2. Lewis, Munch, and Lt. Al Giardello also see the show through, which was more cast than NYPD or Law & Order had by their 7th seasons. It's great to see Munch still on Law & Order: SVU after playing him for 12 years.

As for by all the DVDs together, you don't get anything extra, but it is cheaper than buying them separately. The special features decrease in quality as the season's progress, but they are still pretty good. My one problem is that the episodes from Law & Order that crossed over with Homicide were not included. With that said this set is great and since it is no longer in syndication this is the only way to enjoy the series from start to finish.
