I Am Homicide

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.

The guy is sharply dressed but makes the rookie mistake in the commercial by buttoning the last button on his suit coat.I can expect a young man with a single mother to make this distracting mistake but not a 50 year old man. What's worse is the wardrobe department didn't know any better!

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 think this show is great A lot of people commenting did not give the show a chance they are referring to the slang or how people speak in the south before giving the show a chance. For someone to comment that this very successful detective is not educated is just ridiculous. Some comments should not be allowed it should be about what the show is about not what you think about the host. I like this show he's original and he's being his self unlike a lot of other phony people. I love him and Joe Kenda. The show is great and I see how his down-to-earth personality probably helped him a lot in his career he is the type of person many types of people would feel comfortable around

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!))
