Homicide

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 !

5 cases that are told by the Investigators and Survivors. Dick Wolf, has a Midas touch with criminal and law themes, has always taken true, real life crimes and court cases and turned them into high quality shows. That's what makes his shows work. They are always based in real, true life cases. In fact some of his shows were forced to cancel because they were too honest and got to close to the truth. It's really good to see him do a docuseries from the people who lived through the cases. I wish he would have delved even further into these cases. If you are silent and you really watch and listen, you can hear and feel that the people that investigate what most people want to pretend doesn't happen are incredibly caring human beings. Politics take nasty turns, and people pay the price. It's easy to minimise and vilify and point fingers, however, without people like this docuseries focuses on we'd be in a third world dictatorship, and we need to respect that. Sadly, all these good people are retired now, and there isn't anyone replacing them. Looking forward to the next part Homicide LA.

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.

On the island of Manhattan there are two detective squads dedicated to homicides: Manhattan North and Manhattan South, this are the stories! You can almost hear the classic "Law & Order" music at the end . Veeery interesting and challenging crime stories created by Dick Wolf, seen from the point of view of the NYPD and the prosecuters.

The series is very well done and documented, the 5 episodes go by quickly, which is a very good sign. The only negative I must say that I also found it a little over produced, but this true crime show is so intriguing and exciting that it didn't matter to me at all.

If you are not a fan of this type of crime and police series, it is better not to watch it, it has graphic images of some crimes and quite a few very morbid details.

I certainly recommend this, it truly serves the essence of the NYPD, and the city of New York no matter the decade it was being set in.

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.
