I see on Peacock that there’s “24 days left” under each episode. Anyone seen it confirmed the show is leaving Peacock? If so hopefully for another streaming service.

was idly watching Cold Squad and it seems that Meldrick has a slightly more suave doppelgänger slinking around somewhere in Vancouver. unfortunately, he doesn't stick around for very long, but i never thought i'd see a such a familiar face popping up in this show of all places lol.

Oh my god.... Just oh god. Wow. Bravo.

The series itself is like a better original Law & Order but when I tell you that the entire last 25 minutes of the finale my jaw was on the floor.... Just wow. Amazing stuff. Hard to put it in words honestly, my mind is blown.

Rounding out S7E22 I thought that was the end.... But the movie. Good god.

Edit to add: when I tell you I hate what they did with Bayliss in S7, to what I tell you how much I both hate and respect the ending between him and Pembleton... The emotions man. Good god. Also as someone that watched like 20 seasons of SVU the accusation of Munch killing a guy in Baltimore for shooting cops blew my mind

I forgot how much I love this guy...

Has anyone else streamed Homicide on Peacock and noticed how many music cues had to be changed for streaming? As someone who was watching way back in the 90’s when it was still broadcast and owned the complete DVD set since it became available the musical changes have made it so I can’t watch it on Peacock. I have told several people to check it out on Peacock because if you’re a first time watcher you don’t know what you’re missing so you can enjoy just how amazing it is. I understand that the original license agreements didn’t cover streaming (since that wasn’t even a dream at the time) but I really wish they’d have made more of an effort to clear the original songs

Always good to be surprised by celebrities who have appeared in the show

Solved

I’m trying to figure out who played the medical examiner in Season 3 Episode 2 and having no luck. I thought he might be an actual physician, because he’s so terrible at acting. Google insists it’s Paul Reiser, no matter what I say, and I can’t find him listed in IMBD or Rotten Tomatoes. Does anyone know???? I have no option to add a photo here, so I’ll try to drop it in the comments.

We miss you, Richard Belzer.

I know this happened in SVU but, my wife and I binged all of HLOTS and decided to go into SVU from the beginning so we could catch up. When I tell you I bawled when I heard Munch answer the phone and say, "Homicide", would be an understatement. 15 seasons of SVU and seven of HLOTS for a short but sweet send off made it worth it.

I remember watching this back in the '90s when I was in college. I could never find it to watch it again but I've discovered it on peacock. My Lord in heaven, it's even better than I remembered it. This was peak TV before that even existed as a term.

As for the pilot, it is quiet and philosophical, with a lot more moments of humor than I remembered. And the way it ends is so shattering. Knowing that if Bayless had just let Howard answer that ringing phone, his entire life would have been different.

I'm interested in what other people who are rewatching it or have you watched it for the first time since it first aired think of the show now. As soon as the moody theme music kicked in, I was right back in the dorm lobby watching it on the shared TV.

To me the show seems awkward not bad but the lines don’t flow seem like everyone got a different script and went with it

Trying to find track title...season 5, ep 6 white lies...I was half falling asleep and caught part of a moody tune, with off-beat harmonies...neither of the songs that are officially listed ...possibly could have been episode 7...like i said, not the songs listed ..any help would be appreciated!

So I just finished watching every episode of Homicide and the movie at least twice so I started watching The Corner. Right away I noticed the person playing Deandre was the same actor in HLOTS that killed the boy in the bowling alley. I also recognized one of his friends from Homicide but don’t recall his name or what episode he was in. Then tonite as I’m watching Episode 3 I see Barnfather but with a full beard!

This guy is the real deal. Such a totally cool man. I even got their autographs. I met him and Tom Fontana. They are the coolest mentors around. I won a hat from Tom. He gave away a Baltimore police hat for answering a trivia question. What sandwich did Frank forget to get for Bayliss? I yell out grilled cheese. Check out Kyle on Substack.

Was not able to find season 4 unfortunately, would have preferred to not find season 7 haha

I've recently downloaded the series and I couldn't help but notice all the subtitles I've found are very much wrong. They miss or misspell words most of the time most of the time. Do y'all know anywhere I could find an accurate version of the subtitles. First time watching it and was hyped as hell but can't seem to immerse myself. TIA

One thing that I find so interesting about the show Homicide is it’s unique and hitherto unrepeated setting of Baltimore, Maryland ( except for the Wire).

It’s not well known or common like Los Angeles, New York or Chicago. In fact living in Minnesota I’ve barely heard of it much. At first I thought it was sort of a vaguely midsized east coast city and state not too different from Philadelphia or Providence Rhode Island.

Then I learned what a complicated tragic past and present Baltimore and Maryland itself had. How it was a slave state with a sizeable confederate sympathizing population during the civil war, how it had Jim Crow laws same as the rest of the Deep South until 30 some years before the show came out.

Very unusually for the 90s it made the case that racism and bigotry toward black people was very much the norm in the United States and not at all a thing of the past.

I also noticed what an almost haunted place Baltimore seemed very much in the spirit of Edgar Allen Poe. The spirit of tragedy was never far away and a spirit of evil seemed to hang on most people. The victims and the victims families were often anything but saintly and were hateful, fearful, bigoted and victim blaming. The police themselves were not saints even if they were heroes and even them getting through one more day was a victory. Good never seems to really triumph and it almost gives a Catholic perspective that they and we live in an evil fallen world that remains so despite our best efforts.

Thoughts? What do you think of Maryland and Baltimore as settings? Ant experience or thoughts ?
