Homicide: Life on the Street - Gone for Goode

[@CarrollLiddell]

That speech about salesmanship was EPIC...

[@MediaWhorz]

@serotone9 Actually, I feel that it's the other way around. While Homicide helped set the seed of a realistic crime drama (in part due to the source material written by Wire creator David Simon) it still relied a little too much on artistic flourishes and unrealistic plot elements. The Wire may have had plot elements that seem unrealistic when isolated, but when they were implemented they flowed naturally and seemed more than plausible. But hell, both are excellent.

watch Pembleton and Bayless interrogate the araber (sp?) they thought killed Adena Watson. That is one of the best, brilliantly performed, dramatic moments of the last 20 years of TV. I'm going to try to find it on KZbin.

Pembleton is a baaaaaaad man! Love him and miss the whole show.

[@tanquantwal]

I love Pembleton. When he left the show went from an A to a D

[@gnarkill87]

I lost it at 4:39 where Bayliss stares at Pembleton like, "How the fuck did you do that?"

[@codename617]

The Wire and Homicide aren't too different. They're both David Simon's creations. The Wire doesn't have those great visual scenes that Homicide has and Homicide doesn't have the mature content allowed by HBO. One is a really great cop show and the other is a visual five chapter novel about the daily human struggle that is Baltimore.

[@Celestion321]

This is good, but there's a lack of subtlety. The Wire nails a balance between performance and believability that's lacking here.

How come i cant find the season 6 Law & Order episode Charm City, where Pembleton and Bayliss violate the suspect's 4th Amendment right to Council? The wanted a lawyer and they were still talking to him. The only problem was that they weren't in Baltimore, they were in New York, where they actually pay attention to the law.

[@phil2856]

Brilliant! best tv series of all.

[@codename617]

Nice, but what I didn't like about that was that Pembleton tried that trick in the 27th's interrogation room and that nearly cost them the case. He should've just kept that trick in Baltimore instead of New York. Law & Order season 6, epiosde Charm City. I would upload it, but youtube won't let me.

[@howey935]

Never ever talk to cops never ever sign anything without a lawyer

[@codename617]

@serotone9 Well i meant on youtube. I already have the episode plus the Homicide episode in my season 6 Law & Order dvd. I'd just like to see that clip sometimes. They shouldn't have let the detectives interrogate him in the first place and they should've stopped them right away.

[@sweenyadam]

I see this as the Wire's prototype....
