The Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, where the ceremony was hosted by the odd-throuple pairing of Alan Alda, Jane Fonda and Robin Williams. The evening’s big winner? Out of Africa, now regarded as one of the most turgid Best Picture winners of all time.

Two days earlier, March 22, a very different awards ceremony had taken place across town. The venue this time had been the rear ballroom of 385 North–a La Cienega restaurant. Here, amid a constellation of potted ficus trees and gold lamé drapes, unfurled the very first edition of the Film Independent Spirit Awards, hosted with casual luncheon hunkiness by Jagged Edge actor Peter Coyote.

Speaking with Fandango, Mackie discussed his relationship with Ford:

"This being my second time working with Harrison Ford...Harrison is probably one of the coolest brothers I've met in the film business, and I was surprised by that because the first movie we did together he was extremely cool."

"So at the premiere, Harrison Ford came up and talked to me. I was like 'yo, Indiana Jones!' Cool, right? So when he came back and we did this, I was really surprised, like Danny always tells the story: you know we're we're just kicking it and usually a star...

Following a two-hour masterclass at the Cairo Film Festival, Gaspar Noé spoke with Variety about future genres he’d like to tackle: “The main film genres that really would interest me for a future project are documentary, war film, and horror.

The Argentinian director of “Irreversible” (2002) and “Vortex” (2021) had earlier answered questions from British-Iranian critic Mo Abdi, telling the audience of his sold out event: “Kids are like small adults. When we are kids we are in danger. You are exposed to everything. I’m very attached to kids in life, though I don’t have kids. The relationship you have with kids is direct and playful.

Homicide: New York opens its miniseries with an episode about the tragic death of Jennifer Stahl, an actress who appeared in Dirty Dancing and was murdered in cold blood. One of the few documentaries in the Dick Wolf universe of TV shows, Homicide: New York is a 2024 five-episode miniseries that uncovers different, grisly murders that have taken place in New York City. The series features detectives, investigators, prosecutors, and even those who knew the victims for an up-close and personal look at the crimes.

It isn't the first true-crime series that Dick Wolf has made, with Cold Justice and Criminal Confessions being notable entries in the genre, but it is the first Wolf production to be made for Netflix. The first episode of the series is titled, "Carnegie Deli Massacre" and it gets the show off on a frightening note with a triple homicide.

Sometimes it’s hard to revisit a favorite TV series you haven’t seen in decades. Will the show hold up or be hopelessly dated? Happily, NBC’s groundbreaking 1993-98 police series “Homicide: Life on the Street” is just as brilliant as it was three decades Peacock recently dropped all seven seasons as well as 2000’s “Homicide: The Movie.”.

As NPR noted: “It was a cop show without gun battles or car chases, with a bracing shot of street-level realism; film mostly in Baltimore. ‘Homicide’ presented stuff you just didn’t see on network television back then: shaky, kinetic camera work, working stiff police detectives cracking jokes at gruesome murder scenes…serialized stories that arced over several episodes, heart-rending killings that never get solved.”

The series, which was set in the fictional Baltimore Police Department Unit, was based on David Simon’s (“The Wire”) 1991 book “Homicide: A Year in the Life of the Killing Streets.

After years stuck in streaming jail, one of TV’s best cop dramas ever is free at last — and back on the beat.

All seven seasons of Homicide: Life on the Street are finally available to stream on Peacock, as of today, so fans who didn’t catch its original 1993-99 run on NBC can now discover why it’s acknowledged as a stone-cold classic. A gritty look at the life of Baltimore homicide detectives, Homicide boasts an impressive pedigree — it’s based on a book by The Wire’s David Simon, with Oz’s Tom Fontana and Oscar winner...

Before The Shield and The Wire, there was Homicide: Life on the Street. The NBC crime drama is widely considered among genre fans to be the cream of the crop, but it never reached the level of success it deserved. Now a whopping 31 years after the first episode aired in 1993, audiences old and new are finally able to stream the series on Peacock and understand why it still matters. Even with how television and the world have evolved since the 1990s, Homicide is still an elite piece of TV drama.

Homicide: Life on the Street Season 1 lasted just nine episodes, as the network didn't quite know what to do with it. Based on David Simon's acclaimed book Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets, the first season hewed understandably closer to the real-life personalities and crimes outlined across those pages. Yet iconic director Barry Levinson, a crack team of...

Today, Homicide: Life on the Street officially gave up its title as the Best TV Show You Can’t Stream. All 122 episodes of the Nineties cop drama are now on Peacock, along with Homicide: The Movie, a 2000 telefilm featuring the entire cast — even the ones whose characters died at some point in the previous seven seasons.

Despite not ever garnering huge ratings on NBC, the critically acclaimed Baltimore-set police show Homicide: Life on the Streets won a number of awards, including several Emmys in its unexpected seven-season run (1993-1999). Created by Paul Attanasio and based on David Simon’s nonfiction book Homicide: A Year on the Killing Street, the show was innovative, beautifully cast appointment television that has had a profound influence on many fine shows that followed.

The new true crime show Homicide: Los Angeles is a hit on Netflix, diving into high-profile cases in the City of Angels. The show's clever formula of focusing on iconic neighborhoods highlights the variety of crimes that can take place in different areas. Season 2 is full of harrowing cases, political plots, and high-profile interviewees, making it incredibly binge-worthy and successful.

One of the most successful crime shows ever written has been Law and Order. Still running after 23 seasons, it led to numerous spin-offs, two of which were renewed this year: Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and Law & Order: Organized Crime. But the creator of the show, Dick Wolf, never rested on his laurels. He created more award-winning drama shows, such as the Chicago series, FBI, and more. But the acclaimed producer also dipped his toe in a different pool: true crime. Hence, the new Netflix miniseries Homicide was born.

Before David Simon debuted his groundbreaking socio-political tapestry “The Wire” to audiences and helped garner the prestige HBO now only reserves for “Game of Thrones” and superhero spinoffs, he wrote the book on the world of crime and law enforcement in Baltimore. Published in 1991, his non-fiction book “Homicide: A Year of Killing Streets” pools two years of research from Simon’s time spent observing the Baltimore Police Department, which itself followed four years spent on the police beat for The Baltimore Sun newspaper.

Wishing to adapt the book into a feature film, Simon got a copy to filmmaker and Baltimore native Barry Levinson, who felt the material was better suited to a TV series. Levinson shared with Paul Attansio, a former Washington Post film critic whose would go on to write the Oscar-nominated “Quiz Show,” as well as “Donnie Brasco,” and together the team brought the project to NBC, where...

The series was based on David Simon’s book Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets and was created by Paul Attanasio. It followed the Baltimore Police Department’s Homicide Unit. Bleak and unglamorous, the show was praised for its more realistic treatment of detectives and their work; threads weren’t always tied up at the end, and criminals sometimes got away. It also boasted one hell of a cast, including Andre Braugher, Ned Beatty, Yaphett Kotto, Melissa Leo, Giancarlo Esposito,...

The peak television renaissance didn't happen overnight. A decade prior to the epochal debut of "The Sopranos" on HBO, series as disparate in their aims as "The Simpsons," "Twin Peaks" and "The Larry Sanders Show" were challenging the industry's notions of what the broadcast medium could accomplish. Dramatic story arcs began to stretch out over a season or longer, while sitcoms got edgier and less hidebound to the multi-camera format. These successes emboldened major filmmakers to try their hand at episodic TV, which didn't always pan out. But it was always thrilling to see great artists romp about in a medium Hollywood once considered beneath them.

Of these efforts, it's possible none had a greater influence on the peak era than NBC's "Homicide: Life on the Street." When Baltimore Sun reporter David Simon began shopping his book "Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets," an account of his time...

Born in Brooklyn, New York, into an artistic family of actors, playwrights, and musicians, Edie Falco didn't fight the familial urge to express herself. She made her film debut in 1987 in the movie Sweet Lorraine, followed by brief TV roles in Law & Order and Homicide: Life on the Street. Tom Fontana, executive producer of Homicide, was so impressed with Falco that he cast her in his gritty 1997 HBO prison drama, Oz. In 1999, the actress caught the eye of David Chase, who cast her in The Sopranos, which, thanks in part to Falco, is considered one of the greatest TV series of all time.

The hit Spanish drama Elite is set to premiere its eighth and final season in full this month with one final mystery (July 26), Vikings: Valhalla is setting off on one final adventure with its third season (July 11), and Cobra Kai is also entering its swan song era with the first part of its final sixth season arriving on Netflix July 18.

The most notable movie offering this month is Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F (July 3). Thirty years after his last case, Eddie Murphy returns as the titular detective Axel Foley, teaming up with old pals Billy Rosewood (Judge Reinhold) and Taggart (John Ashton) to uncover a conspiracy and keep his daughter Jane (Taylour Paige) safe.

Here’s everything else coming to Netflix this month. Note that Netflix marks its international offerings with that respective country’s two-letter country code.

It might seem like a no-brainer that Law & Order impresario Dick Wolf should extend his murder–centric franchise into the documentary space — or that Netflix, with its many true crime features and miniseries, attempt the same thing in episodic format — but neither really came to fruition until the March premiere of Homicide: New York. Naturally, the long wait carried a fair amount of pressure with it.

“Everyone understood the potential pitfalls of stepping into the true crime space and the tropes that come with it,” says Dan Cutforth, Homicide executive producer and one half of Alfred Street Industries. “We’ve all seen that done… not well. So, it was really important that it be executed on a very high level with this series.”

Homicide: New York dropped five episodes on March 21 and quickly shot to the top of Netflix’s domestic Top 10 chart, even enjoying a run atop David Benioff...

Daphne Abdela and Christopher Vasquez were convicted of a brutal murder in Central Park in 1997. Homicide: New York delves into their crime, trial, and where they are now post-prison release. Abdela and Vasquez have been living quiet lives since their release, away from the spotlight.

The following article contains graphic descriptions of a violent homicide.

The crimes of Daphne Abdela and Christopher Vasquez are the subjects of the documentary miniseries Homicide: New York and decades after their trial, many are wondering where the two are now. Dick Wolf's television universe is generally comprised of fictional series set in the real world, and occasionally borrowing grisly storylines from real criminal events. Homicide: New York is not the first true crime TV show to come from the mind of Dick Wolf; he's previously done Cold Justice and Criminal Confessions, but this is the first of any of his productions made for Netflix.

Netflix’s 3 Body Problem delivered its second straight No. 1 showing among streaming titles, leading the rankings for the last week of March. The acquired series top 10 had several new entrants, thanks in part to a change in how Nielsen reports the numbers.

The ratings service says it made an “enhancement” to its Streaming Content Ratings, which is the basis for the weekly top 10 lists, that results in a number of programs being added to the Scr product. (They weren’t previously “due to business agreements which preceded the rankings, coupled with the associated technical aspects of measurement.”) The affected programs stream mostly on Hulu and Peacock after airing on linear networks.

The upshot is that former Fox series The Resident (1.48 billion minutes on Hulu and Netflix) and animated mainstays Family Guy (837 million minutes on Hulu) and American Dad (619 million on Hulu) all made their first appearance in the top...

Beginning with the March 25-31 viewing window, Nielsen has expanded its streaming measurement capability, resulting in the company’s ability to report the viewership of a number of titles for which previously unavailable. Per Nielsen, a combination of previous business agreements and technical aspects of measurement prevented several acquired series from inclusion in its weekly rankings, and while most of those titles would not have made the Top 10 anyways, some are debuting for the first time thanks to more accurate analysis.

Among those titles is “The Resident,” which appeared on the Nielsen Streaming Top 10 for the first time during this viewing window in the No. 2 position with 1.5 billion minutes watched. The medical procedural ran on Fox for six seasons from 2018 to 2023 before being canceled, and has seen increased popularity since being added to Netflix in early March, though it was already available on Hulu.

“Family Guy” also jumped onto the...

The docuseries Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV posted Max’s best streaming numbers to date for its premiere week.

The show, which streamed on Max concurrent with its on-air premiere on ID, had 1.25 billion minutes of viewing for the week of March 18-24. That’s the largest weekly total for any series on Max in the nearly four years of Nielsen’s streaming rankings, edging out the 1.19 billion for The Last of Us in early 2023.

Netflix’s 3 Body Problem grabbed the overall No. 1 spot for the week (it premiered March 21), racking up 1.37 billion minutes over its first four days. The sci-fi series narrowly beat Prime Video’s remake of Road House, which had 1.32 billion minutes of viewing in the United States. Amazon had earlier claimed that the movie was Prime Video’s biggest film premiere worldwide so far.

Bluey (1.05 billion minutes) and Netflix’s docuseries...

Road House and Quiet on Set brought some variety to the Nielsen streaming charts in March.

During the week of March 18 to 24, there were four different streamers represented among the Top 5 streaming titles — Netflix, Prime Video, Max and Disney+. According to Nielsen, this is a rarity that has only occurred once before, when the same four platforms shared the stage in October 2022.

In the top spot was Netflix’s 3 Body Problem, which debuted all eight episodes on March 21. In its first four days on the streamer, it amassed 1.37B minutes viewed.

Second place went to Prime Video’s Road House, the reimagining of the 1980s Patrick Swayze film, which was right behind 3 Body Problem with an impressive 1.32B minutes viewed. This is particularly noteworthy because it is far shorter than 3 Body and therefore at a significant disadvantage when it comes to these streaming rankings.

“Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV” debuted as the No. 3 title on Nielsen’s weekly streaming rankings, notching just under 1.3 billion minutes during the March 18-24 viewing window. Episodes 1 and 2 launched on March 17, while Episodes 3 and 4 came on March 18.

This is the best single-week performance Nielsen has ever recorded for a Max title, beating the record previously set by “The Last of Us,” which was streamed for 1.2 billion minutes during the week of Jan 30-Feb 5, 2023.

The docuseries followed closely behind Netflix’s “3 Body Problem,” which was watched for nearly 1.4 billion minutes watched in four days, and “Road House,” the Amazon Prime Video movie that landed just over 1.3 billion minutes. With “Bluey” as the week’s No. 4 title with 1 billion minutes watched, this is the first week that Nielsen’s top four streaming titles have come from different platforms since October of 2022. Netflix’s “Homicide: New York...
