Second season is still hugely enjoyable, though I have a sad premonition that in future seasons the fat ugly detectives will tend to be replaced by beautiful people, and the episodes, which vary ín quality, will all have to end with a shoot-up and sting in the tail. Some episodes are a bit too sentimental and cute for their own good. Still, if it ain't The Wire it ain't Kojak either and it must have raised the standard of writing enormously. Detective Munch is one of life's small pleasures and I hope his role is never downsized.

Homicide Life on the Streets is a great series with a mixture of human interest in the characters which can be sad at times - but also extremely funny. Belzer (who is later in the Law & Order SVU series) is, as usual, outstanding.

I have only watched the first couple of seasons of homicide but it is one of the best police shows ever created mainly because of the humour. Being based on David Simon's excellent book, one is often shocked to discover that the stories which seem the most implasible are actually based on real life cases.

A really good detective series
I purchased Series One some considerable time ago. Initially I gave the first disc a try and was not overly impressed and put it to one side for a long time. Read more

Life on the street
Excellent series with, to me, more or less unknown actors. Everyday life as a homicide detective is depicted without glamour or heroes. Read more

Homicide
Better than most of the TV detective shows of today and it hasn't dated all. It's character-driven and the actors work together as a superb ensemble. Read more

Great show
Down to earth cop show in major east coast city which is NOT New York. I've watched all 11 seasons. It stays interesting and with characters you can care about.

Homicide - Life on the Street Season 2
Just great - gritty Baltimore detective series. OK, it dates back to 1994 but it is a worthy forerunner to The Wire and that ilk. Read more

This is one of the best serials around. I would strongly recommend it to anyone who is a fan of The Wire.
