Homicide: Life on the Street was always ahead of its
time. As this collection of the first two seasons proves--it still is. Crime
dramas that have thrived on cable, like The
Sopranos, have benefited from the ground Homicide broke--and
inherited many of the talents (like Edie Falco) that made it great. To NBC's
credit, particularly then-president and fan Warren Littlefield, it supported the
show for seven years, despite several cast changes and lukewarm ratings.
Fortunately, critics were enthusiastic from the start and fans were loyal.
