Homicide

Detectives and family members detail the events, scars and tragedies of several murders, crimes that took place across various parts of New York.

This is a very well made, well produced and well presented series. Some well known crimes, one or two perhaps not as famous, I was definitely aware of both thr Deli and Pilmar cases, each episode though, has something to offer.

Don't expect any wild theories, outlandish theories, or heaven forbid, some of the obscure goings on of something like Files of the unexplained, this is very grounded, nothing is sensationalised or over dramatised.

A fascinating insight into how much The Police invest in their cases, also interesting to see the crossovers.

I hope another series follows.

8/10.

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 .

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.

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.
