Miss some old shows

The past week or two I've been watching Homicide: Life on the streets. I love that show.  When I start watching it again I remember how much I really miss it. There's not other show quite like it. I loved how real the characters were. It was far more realistic then say NCIS;LA.

The music chosen on the show was also really nice. For instance I recognized in one of the episodes one of the Garbage songs I hadn't heard in years and it was neat to remember it. Other music that was played was also a welcome change.

Most of my favorite crime shows are no more. Of those series, City Homicide, Law & Order, the original, Without a Trace, In Plain Sight [Series finished this summer], NY City undercover, NYPD blue and of course Homicide: Life on the streets.

I miss them all.....

City Homicide, Last season already?

I've fallen in love with an Aussie show.  City Homicide is as good as anything produced in the US. My eldest and I love the Aussie slang and the way the show has developed. 

I was reading commentary from an Aussie newspaper saying that no one needs more cops shows and that there is nothing new in this show. I thought it was interesting and fresh. Perhaps because it was the first Aussie show I've seen? Season 4 which has just ended is the last full season I'm told. Next year there will be a mini-series and then the show will be put out to pasture.

Personally I love watching cop shows from other countries, since their rules of law and the way their police works is different then what I know in Canada. I'm used to US shows, but I've also had pleasure to watch Law & Order UK and Paris enquêtes criminelles. I enjoyed both because even though episodes are based on US ones, I get to see a different perspective
