Homicide: Life on the Street is finally cleared for streaming.

Finally. Such a good show.

Such good news!

Andre Braugher was amazing. One of my favorite actors ever.

I loved this show SO MUCH!!!!! Thanks for posting this OP.

Good! I love indulging my 90s nostalgia.

Who cares? Charmed is going off all streaming services end of June.

I NEED MY PRU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

One of the best.

The blond on the left is cute.

Andre Braugher! 😢

It appears smiling was a felony back then as well.

I only watched the last season and didn’t “get” a couple of the characters and my friend who’d been telling me to watch since the beginning was, you don’t understand, these characters have been evolving since it started. Can’t wait.

Is it about homeless police????

But please not on Peacock or Hulu! Not a pay one.

Simon is a national treasure.

I did not know Yaphet Kotto was Jewish and a Trump supporter with “Q Anon adjacent” beliefs. What a disappointment that he was MAGAt.

Daniel Baldwin was excellent in this show but sabotaged himself. The guy has problems, as do all the Baldwin men.

That's Reed Diamond, r8. He plays Detective Mike Kellerman starting in season four.

R15 Yaphet Kotto was just nuts. He was also a Cameroonian prince, had an IQ of 190, and had been abducted by aliens.

Reed Diamond was a slender, sexy fox.

He was great on Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse.

Don’t just stand there, let’s get to it

Strike a pose, there’s nothing to it

Great news! Now just get us thirtysomething!

Meldrick was only on one episode of Law and Order SVU. I thought he’d been a regular for a year or so. Mandela effect.

Loved this show! So glad it’s coming to steaming. FINALLY!

The arabber episode (directed by Casino Royale's Martin Campbell) is justifiably legendary.

It is as tense and brutal as anything from the so-called "Golden Age" of television.

And Pauline Kael was right when she claimed that Braugher's performance as Pembleton was as good as the best acting in the movies.

The show did lose something each time it tried to repackage itself as slicker, especially letting go of Melissa Leo.

The absolute best and maybe most surprising line delivered by one of the Homicide actors

“I used to own a bar in Baltimore”

[quote]The show did lose something each time it tried to repackage itself as slicker, especially when it added Falsone and Ballard to the squad.

Fixed.

Anyone else remember the crossover episode with The X Files?

It’s on TNT all the damned time, R6. Better spring for cable.

Charmed sucks. I never watched it when it first aired and I've tried to watch a few episodes since it's on Pluto but I can't make it through a whole episode.

It’s good really good but Baltimore police and crime has been done better

"Three Men and Adena" was powerful stuff. I also remember the season 3 multi-episode arc where three of the detectives (Leo, Baldwin, Beatty) are shot and injured on the job. Co-starring Steve Buscemi!

I think Munch has a record for appearing in the most shows as a single character. I remember reading that once.

Munch was a great character

I can never decide whether I think Reed Diamond is handsome or not.

He's almost alien, r34

"The Subway" was a great episode which Vince Gilligan ripped off for diminishing returns in the Bryan Cranston episode of "The X-Files".

Even the fact that the victim was a bigoted jerk.

Braugher and Vincent D'Onofrio were just superb.

I also liked the episode wth Lucinda Jenney as the killer with a personality disorder and whose interrogation prompts a religious re-evaluation from Pembleton.

The best episodes of the series were like a great one-act play that just happened to be on network television.

[quote]I also liked the episode wth Lucinda Jenney as the killer with a personality disorder and whose interrogation prompts a religious re-evaluation from Pembleton.

Pamela Wilgis was the killer's name. Pamela Payton-Wright, better known as Addie, Dorian's sister on OLTL, played the nun, whose name I don't recall.

It was all about the angles with him, R34. If the camera caught how close together his eyes actually are, it was all over. Otherwise, he was handsome.

Kyle Secor was nerdy hot. Bayliss came out as bi in a later season, and it actually made sense as a character move. Remember the episode where he went on a date with Peter Gallagher?

I sure do!

Kyle still looks good.

The actor Michael Balducci played the character Jimmy Berluti on 4 different tv shows. Is he tied with Munch for number of tv shows or is Munch the winner?

August 19th. Put that in your calendar. August 19th on Peacock.

The first season, in particular, was probably the best police procedural ever. It's what Law & order could have been if Dick Wolf wasn't such as a police fan boy and had insisted on hiring a lot of subpar or over the hill actors. In fairness, the very first season of L&O was much better than anything that followed.

It starts streaming on Peacock 8/19/2024

Homishide.

How many people in that picture are dead now?

I used to fantasize about Kyle Secor

Kyle was a cutie in an all American boy-next-door kind of way,

Fantastic show.

Echoing the compliments of others here, this was such a great show. Ned Beatty is wonderful in season one - I missed his character arc the first time out.

Shout out to the ladies on the show. Early season Melissa Leo in her 90s boxy suit drag, and Michelle Forbes later as ME Cox. I believe she and Reed Diamond dated for a bit..? Good looking couple.

Braugher is ferocious. Kyle Secor did well to keep pace with him in their early scenes together.

Was this show a spinoff of Law & Order. I always heard good things about it.

No, r52. It's nothing like L&O. It's such a better program. It's a long story show, more like St. Elsewhere or The Sopranos. More than being about murder, per se, it's the story of Baltimore's "murder police" and the partnerships their work requires them to form to work most effectively, Pembleton and Bayliss being partnership number one throughout the series. It is my favorite television program of all time.

Why would you want to come home and watch murders, hospitals, zombies and Coroners? Is your life lacking stress and sadness?

Everyone is young and HAWT!

Mama’s mussy is twitching like a rat’s tail in the clink!

The thing I randomly remember about Reed Diamond that has nothing to do with Homicide is that he was interviewed on Lauren Hutton's talk show (if you remember Lauren Hutton had a talk show) decades ago. It was this odd setup where Hutton would interview her guest like any other show, but there was a mirror that reflected the guest's face so if the camera was straight in front of her, you could see both parties. Something like that.
