Andre Braugher in one of his greatest roles; how I wish he'd had so many more. May his memory be for a blessing.

[@TheJmich2001]

One of the finest actors of the last 100 years.!!!

[@LushAfricaSafaris]

Rest in peace, Andre Braugher. This was top-notch acting. Learning of your death at the same it's been reported that Netflix was working on a murder-mystery set with you as the lead actor makes it even more painful. We will miss you!

[@bluebeard6189]

This is probably one of the greatest TV shows of all time. I cannot wait until some streaming service picks it up

[@iancurtiswishlist4996]

people still talk about this show as an all time greatest... i think they know there's demand but some kind of legal nonsense is keeping it from streaming.

This is one of my favorite Pembleton/Bayliss murders. Frank FINALLY shows Bayliss some compassion.

What a beautifully character complex relationship. It was such a great ensemble cast with wonderful performances all around but these two, the screen almost crackles with these two.

The genius of this show is Bayliss saying you cant give every bastard what he deserves and then in the reunion movie, seeking absolution from Pembleton for doing just that

[@axucaroso]

The Philospher Detectives!! These guys always caught the grey area cases. Pendleton is still the cop I'd want to get justice for me and mine. The Jesuits did a good job educating him. Frank's morals and ethics should be taught to police today.

[@kendallrivers1119]

Damn right! Frank is da man. The Balto Homicide unit are some of the best tv cops ever and wish they were real. Pembleton is the black Sherlock Holmes with Bayliss as his Watson.

[@rodmoore1577]

This show was just as well written acted and produced but didn't get the attention it deserved. It was all about NYPD Blue which was great also but the nudity aspect brought a lot more attention to the show. Andre was amazing and should've won more Emmys than he did but that's me. RIP Andre. You will not be forgotten.

[@yospilner]

Still my favorite show even after all these years. I still miss watching it on Friday night. Frank (Andre) & Tim (Kyle) were so great in this episode. The best parts: ‘a human being!’ and ‘you’re the sensitive one right’

[@jacobjones5269]

Please listen to me?!… That moment and everything that follows, in tgis clip and Baylis’ character arc, is so heartbreaking..

[@justinlecroy6143]

Greatest cop show EVER!! TY for these. Can you post all?

[@taxi134-y1q]

I loved this show.Hill Street Blues broke down a lot of barriers and Homicide was probably THE show that showed the rest how it should be done in the future.The best of the best African American actors mixed in with some well known and not so well known White actors made this series unmissable.The writing was second to none and the quality inherent in both Andre Braugher and Yaphet Koto(both sadly deceased,Mr Koto always a joy to watch anchored the show with his powerful presence),shone through.Frank Pembleton was the epitome of the thinking mans black Detective in episodes where he was the lead were a master class.He must have been a joy to write for.I could go on but there really hasn't been another show quite like this one,even The Wire didn't grab me the way Homicide did despite the superb Michael Chiklis .

[@yunasmanzoor]

[@milenakalezic]

off topic but does anybody remember the episode in which Bayliss goes out with hot Chinese or Asian woman who sleeps in the coffin?

[@kelvinloyola6070]

Milena Kalezic season 3. It was a mini arc. Lewis liked her and Tim sleeps with her and almost puts the bar in jeopardy. Later Tim robs a clerk at gun point over 11 cents.

yes. That falls under the heading of how to use sexual plot lines to gain ratings. And it didn't work.

What an amazing show. No wonder it became The Wire. So good.

[@gk_knight]

Tim was so fantastic in season 5. Why did they make him so weak and background in seasons 6 and 7?

[@michaelglickman1300]

Probably to make room for the more "attractive" newcomers, i.e., Ballard, Falsone, Sheppard, and Stivers.

[@NestorCaster]

Michael Glickman I agree... his character arc was too big... and they seem to have to get the other characters up to speed

I'm not sure that's entirely true of season 6, but season 7... well, without Pembleton, he wasn't as interesting a character. He had his moments though at the end of the show

[@michaelglickman1300]

Yup, Pembleton was the Bert to Bayliss' Ernie.

[@NestorCaster]

They ended up making Tim too dependents on Frank... but tbh... wasn’t that the intention from the beginning? Maybe that’s what they wanted to show... one cops life spiral out of control without the one partner to keep him grounded.... it does happen a lot in law enforcement

[@katherynemero4118]

I disagree. Homicide was really all about Tim Bayliss. It was truly the Tim Bayliss show. From the opening moment to the very last second; Tim changes the most. He's the only one with substantial character development. And if you didn't understand that while watching, you weren't one of those people that actually got what was going on. Frank was more like a well developed spiritual guide. I assume that you were just intimidated by Tim's sexual exploration. But then, personal trauma does initiate spiritual growth. And most people are so dumb that they never develop beyond infant.

[@tyroberts2261]

Who is the girl. She looks very familiar

[@katherynemero4118]

Monica Keena. She was on Law & Order too. I first recall seeing her in While You Were Sleeping. If you think she isn't topical, Freddy vs. Jason....
