HOMICIDE: LIFE ON the Street may be on the verge of abdicating the title of the Best TV Show You Can’t Stream.

On Monday night, David Simon — whose nonfiction book, Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets, inspired the Emmy-winning NBC cop drama, and eventually launched Simon’s own acclaimed career in television with shows like The Wire and The Deuce — revealed that the biggest hurdle had been cleared to put the series on a streaming platform:

Agreed! Awesome show!

If you didn't get a chance to watch it in its original run you are in for a treat.

Really good show.

An observation of mine from 2019:

https://sigforum.com/eve/forum...960072164#8960072164
quote:
...Homicide: Life on the Street, which IMO is the best police drama ever, by far. This series was contemporary to NYPD Blue, and while I was a big fan of both shows and while I dearly love Dennis Franz in NYPD Blue, that show was unrealistic. The detectives in NYPD Blue wrapped up cases PDQ every episode, before the last commercial break. Criminals just poured their hearts out to the police in that show. Poured their hearts out, confessed crimes, etc, or the perfect witness came forth and all the pieces just dropped into place. Very unrealistic. In the very first episode of Homicide: Life on the Street, Detective Bayliss had a case of a murdered child, Adena Watson. They never solved that case through the entire series. A couple of seasons into the series, they had a suspect in interrogation at one point and you said to yourself "OK, so this is the guy." Nope. Maybe he did it, maybe he didn't, but he walked. Now that is realistic. The detective squad of NYPD Blue never had an unsolved case, and that's just BS.

The fate of Luther Mahoney. I don't want to ruin it for anyone who hasn't seen the series, but... Cool

Yes, a damn good drama series, period, police show or no.

And, of course, Andre Braugher as Detective Pembleton- one of my very favorite portrayals in all my decades of watching TV shows.

It's hard to believe it's been off the air for 25 years already.

Well, on this very page, I referred to it as the best police drama ever, by far, so...

Sorry for the duplicate thread Para….

All 7 seasons are now streaming on Peacock. Andre Braugher is phenominal. I highly recommend it.
