Homicide

There are a lot of documentaries out there regarding true crime. Dick Wolf has done an extraordinary job on bringing this one to the screen. I would say it's one of the best written, true crime dramas ever made. I know there's only one season so far but I hope there are many many more. People in North America all understand that New York in the 80s 90s was a completely different city going as far back as the Son of Sam murders and how proud law-enforcement was at their job. These are the cases that Mid-America never got to see they were just newsprint in New York City at the time when they happened. The nicest thing about this particular one is the honesty of the people involved, and the willingness to do their work, not for themselves for the families of the victims.. BRAVO- they say there's 1 million more stories in the city I think we need to hear them.

It was an interesting tv shows but it shows the mismanagement from the Police. Some cases stayed unsolved for years because they missed some very obvious witnesses and leads. I was pretty shocked!! Most of the time I thought " how could you miss that ?" And how can you take 5 days before checking a CCTV or look at extremely obvious locations. I don't find that show flattering at all for the US detectives tbh! They need more training obviously. Most of the episodes are a proof that something went incredibly wrong in their judgment and reasoning. And it also shows how the US legal system is dysfunctional. Amazing !

Amazing!! The editing was simply perfect, but the true stories oh my they were so sad but very interesting to hear. The people behind all the hard work to find out the results were brilliant and very well spoken about the cases and families involved! Need another 5 episodes!!!

I enjoyed how much depth each episode went into but going back to the editing and the footage were a great addition to really get the gist of the cases.

I generally love unsolved cases but this mini documentary was done brilliantly and I am needing more especially finding out who were the killers and finding the justice in court.

Homicide: New York is a 5 episode series of 5 different cases that happened in New York city. I wish I couId vote halves because I would rate it 7.5 so I rounded up to 8. I enjoyed each of the cases and how they were presented with a high quality production and interviews from the police and the victims families. 2 things did bother me about this series, one was the music which at times was overly dramatic and took away from the series, and the other was the lady who was the medical examiner, I forget here name, who spoke in this overly dramatic tone the entire time and I just didn't like it. I would definitely recommend this series and hope that they look to doing more in the future.

This is the best crime series I've ever seen. As one review said, please give us more. The cast is mostly familiar faces for those into true crime. The two stand outs for me are the always beautiful and charismatic Irma Rivera and the fabulous unbeatable Barbara Butcher. Two powerhouse women. I could listen to Barbara Butcher any day and all days of the week. She is so smart and such a thoughtful human that always delivers her unique perspective. I wish this had more than 5 episodes or they would provide more seasons. It is so well produced (probably because it's a Wolf production) and while a few of the stories were familiar, there were a few I had never heard of. If you enjoy true crime this should be at the top of your list. And ignore the reviewer who thinks he or she can do a better job, you can't fix stupid .
