Synopsis
HOMICIDE: LIFE ON THE STREET is one of the most popular, innovative, and critically acclaimed police shows in television history. Based on the award-winning book by David Simon and adapted for television by Barry Levinson (RAIN MAN, DINER) and Tom Fontana (St. Elsewhere, Oz), the series stars Richard Belzer, Andre Braugher, and Ned Beatty as a team of homicide detectives solving cases on the gritty streets of Baltimore. The series is revered by fans and critics alike for eschewing typical crime drama violence in favor of gripping storylines, strong writing, compelling characters, and a superb ensemble cast.

5.0 out of 5 stars STILL GOLDEN, 26 May 2007
By S. O'Donnell (Stirling, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Excellent - the best ensemble acting and writing of any US cop show bar none. Still as gripping and moving as I remember from first watching the show on Channel 4 in the mid-90s. And to the best of my knowledge the episodes are presented in the correct order originaly intended by the writing/production team. Its the original transmission order by CBS which was out of order (for Nielsen ratings "sweeps" purposes) and it is that order which gets listed on historical websites about the show. Hence the confusion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, 27 Jun 2008
Perhaps the best cop series I've ever seen. Highly recommended.

The episodes are not in the wrong order, they are in the order that the producers originally intended, rather than the much-criticised order that they were shown by NBC. NBC often aired them out of order so that more eye-catching episodes were shown during 'sweep' periods.

The quality of the DVD is good and I can't see the need to purchase the American version. I must have recieved a different box to previous buyers, as I can't spot this mythical missing cast member, and wouldn't care so much if I did.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great series, correct order., 21 Jul 2008
By Alan Calderwood "calderwa" (Hampshire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Although I have seen all of the episodes of Homicide it was a long time since I watched the first series. Great characters, stories and acting. A nice helping of laugh-out-loud humour as well. I would say it is probably my favourite "cop" series - up there with the (very different) BBC series "The Cops". Prefer it to "The Wire", though that series gains by being less episodic, letting a main story develop.
As for the question of episode order, well I checked the web sites etc. and concluded that episode 3 on the disk should actually be at episode 9. Big mistake. It makes no sense to watch it in this order, as flashbacks from other shows (4 and 5, say) quite clearly refer to what is in episode 3 on this disk. This episode was transmitted out of order for some reason (it is rather downbeat and atypical, maybe they were concerned about ratings for a new series), and they tacked on a "one night last September" caption at the start of the episode. Watch the series in the order it is presented on these DVDs and enjoy. Terrific!
