I Am Homicide

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.

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 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 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.

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
