Homicide: Life on the Street is a 1993 American crime drama television series created by David Simon and Barry Levinson for NBC. The series follows the detectives of the Baltimore Police Department’s Homicide Unit as they investigate murders in the city. The show is based on David Simon’s nonfiction book Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets (1991).
Homicide: Life on the Street was a critical success, winning numerous awards, including two Peabody Awards and three Emmy Awards. The series was also praised for its realistic portrayal of police work and its willingness to tackle difficult social issues. However, the show was also criticized for its graphic violence and its sometimes bleak outlook on life.
Despite the critical acclaim, Homicide: Life on the Street was never a ratings success. The show was canceled by NBC in 1999 after seven seasons. However, the series has continued to be popular in syndication, and it is considered one of the greatest police dramas of all time.
Homicide: Life on the Street has been cited as an influence on a number of other police dramas, including The Wire (2002-2008), The Shield (2002-2008), and Bosch (2014-present).
The show’s recent rise in popularity on Google Trends AU may be due to a number of factors, including:
- The recent release of a new documentary about the show, Homicide: The Movie (2022).
- The show’s availability on streaming services such as Amazon Prime Video and Hulu.
- The show’s continued relevance to contemporary issues such as police brutality and systemic racism.
