I Am Homicide

Reviews here either love it or hate it. The haters seem to disparage it for not being big city slick. Watch TV for that. I'm a long time true crime addict and this show is every bit as good as Homicide Hunter but with an entirely different flavor. One thing, it's in the South and sports some local dialect. If that puts your nose out of joint, get over yourself and just enjoy the crime solving. Garry McFadden, our detective, speaks home style, just like you would be jawing with friends. His approach to crime and criminals is educational. You almost feel like you could learn to do this job. What I really like is the enthusiasm he has for the chase. There is no doubt he loves his job--just the kind of guy that should be doing it.

I read some of the reviews on this show and was shocked! I just can't imagine not liking Det. McFadden! He's intelligent, funny and I love his laugh along with that larger then life smile! I even love his ego. I can't even imagine what it takes to be a Homicide Detective. A special breed. The show is done excellently with the Detective explaining his thoughts while he is investigating and where it finally leads him. As for people who have written about his ghetto slang again I like it. It is who the man is and I watch the show to see that. This show and "Murder Chose Me" are my favorites. Very different individuals but with the same ego. I love the acting specifically when you can read someone's thoughts by looking in their eyes. That's excellent acting. I never would have thought my favorite TV shows would be about true crime specifically where I don't watch much TV but it just goes to show ID did a great job choosing Det. McFadden and the way the show is directed.

I looked forward to, and watched, even recorded, all of the I Am Homicide shows. Garry McFadden has so many antidotes he is hilariously funny, all the while, solving homicides in all areas and financial districts of Charlotte! I found all the shows interesting and intriguing. I even got my husband to watch. He liked the 1st one so much, that he watched the entire series, as it aired, which he has never done, before or since! We both have been looking forward to another season. I am so disappointed, as I cannot find any info on another season of I Am Homicide. Pleaseee bring I Am Homicide back! I guess I am tired of Lt. Kenda - just no more intrigue. (The ID channel and OWN are on in at least one room 25/7. (I don't sleep much!))

I like the show. It looks at real cases and this guy was obviously good at solving them. I have to be honest, it does remind me off a spin-off of the Detective Kenda series with a different flavor to it. I like the fact that other detectives and reporters chime in and give different perspectives to the stories. I hope it makes it to season 2 because I love detective shows, but I know the market is being saturated with them and unless you've got the best of the best, your show may not stay around. Not fond of Detective McFadden's attempts at humor, but I still like the show. I also like the fact that he investigates cases all over Charlotte and not just "In the Hood." Which is what I thought it would be when I saw the previews.

"I Am Homicide" is a very interesting show with real stories of murder cases worked by Detective Garry McFadden in the Charlotte area. It's a well done television show showcasing his great detective work over a 30 year career. Interviews of real people are incorporated with reenactments of the case. These cases are presented in a way that makes them interesting to follow. But the true magic of this show is Detective McFadden himself! He is incredibly smart, witty, and extremely entertaining! He has some of the funniest sayings ever, such as "if you want to run with me, you better have shoes on" Watch this man and you'll see what I mean. What an amazing police officer who has solved a huge number of complicated cases with intelligence and charm - a true gem! Go and give this one a whirl.
