Homicide: Life on the Street	comment	Before The Wire â€“ hell, even before NYPD Blue â€“ there was Homicide: Life On The Street. Based on the factual book Homicide: A Year On the Killing Streets by Baltimore Sun journalist David Simon and airing on NBC, the series charted the lives of a team of homicide detectives in Baltimore, both on and off the clock. The show actually hung under the threat of cancellation after the first, but two Emmy nominations and the popularity of fellow soapy police show NYPD Blue got it renewed for a second season of just four episodes, making it the shortest season ever commissioned by a US network.Over time, the show managed to build a comfortable â€“ if not spectacular â€“ audience, and traded in several of the older, less conventionally attractive cast members for young studs. Still, the series continued to achieve critical acclaim for what was then considered to be a realistic look at police life, with cases going unsolved, killers getting off the hook and officers having very real character flaws. It finished after seven seasons in 1999, with a TV movie wrapping up the remaining plot threads in 2000. It is generally considered to be the high water mark for Police Procedural shows, at least until David Simon returned with another Baltimore-based cop show, HBO's The Wire. The realism stems in large part from Simon's experience writing his non-fiction book about a year embedded with BPD Homicide; viewers familiar with the book will have fun trying to work out which scenes are ripped from its pages (TOW has a list of the book's notable cases).The character of Detective John Munch proved so popular that the character â€“ always played by actor Richard Belzer â€“ went on to make guest appearances in two Law & Order series (including a French spin-off), The X-Files, The Beat, Arrested Development, The Wire and even Sesame Street. Following the end of Homicide, Munch appeared as a regular character on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit from its premiere until his retirement early in the 15th season, and made occasional appearances afterward.The show was created by Paul Attanasio and was produced by Baltimore Pictures, the production company of executive producer Barry Levinson, initially alongside Reeves Entertainment. After the first season, however, Reeves Entertainment's parent company, Thames Television, filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, and NBC assumed co-production duties.

Homicide: Life on the Street / int_10a6623b	comment	Fair Cop: Laura Ballard and Rene Sheppard were blatant attempts to get viewing figures up, after Executive Meddling. Howard was rather attractive, but regular-looking, as opposed to Ms. Fanservice. Russert, Cox (although she's not technically a cop), Stivers, and (for female viewers) Kellerman and Falsone weren't too shabby, either. Bayliss, with long hair and glasses, may very well count.

After Lewis and Stivers let him take all the blame for the Luther Mahoney shooting and quit so they wouldn't be fired, his fellow detectives treated him like trash over both it and that he was now working as a private detective, even with him helping the solve the case of the episode arc he had returned in.note It also may have been the reason that he had worked exclusively with Mike Giardello in the Homicide movie; he was there with Kellerman's fellow, previous detectives upon his return, but wasn't around to let his past actions color his perceptions of him

Homicide: Life on the Street / int_1616e13	type	Ripped from the Headlines
Homicide: Life on the Street / int_1616e13	comment	Ripped from the Headlines: A good deal of cases are almost carbon-copies of real Baltimore murders which happened during David Simon's time shadowing the Baltimore Police Department's Homicide Unit during 1988: Bayliss's Adena Watson case was based upon the case of Latonya Kim Wallace, a young girl who was murdered in Reservoir Hill, becoming a "red ball" murdernote I.e, a case that brings the attention of the press and the brass, and thus a case that matters. Sadly, like in real life, Adena's murderer is never brought to justice. The "Black Widow killer" Calpurnia Church from the first episode is based on Geraldine Parrish (Parish = Church, geddit?), who murdered a string of husbands - the BPD found tens of life insurance policies naming her as the beneficiary. She, like Church, pretended to be a voodoo master, and, like Church, the investigation into her crimes prompted multiple exhumations at city cemeteries. The real-life shooting of Officer Gene Cassidy and the subsequent uphill struggle to secure a conviction for his attacker, Butchie Frazier, are the basis of a season 1 plotline for Crosetti. The death of John Randolph Scott in suspicious circumstances likely involving BPD officers in the book is recreated during Season 2. Unlike in real life, the killer is brought to justice. The more common example of reheating recent news stories was not deployed as much as some other procedurals, but occasionally made an appearance: "Colors" is based on the real case of Yoshihiro Hattori, a Japanese exchange student who was shot dead by a paranoid householder in Baton Rouge while looking for a fancy-dress party. "Saigon Rose" is based on the case of Antoinette Frank, a New Orleans patrol officer who committed a deadly armed robbery of a Vietnamese restaurant.

Homicide: Life on the Street / int_1777688d	type	Genre Savvy
Homicide: Life on the Street / int_1777688d	comment	Genre Savvy: Or possibly just pessimism. In the True Crime book on which the series is based, in cases where someone has been attacked with intent to kill but isn't dead when the homicide unit gets involved, the Real Life cops take it as a given that the victim will live if a suspect has been identified, but that they'll die if there are no suspects. This idea was both played straight and subverted in the series itself. Notably in the Movie Pembleton and Bayliss catch Gee's shooter and it seems like Gee will make a perfect recovery...only for Gee to die from an aneurysm soon after. In the factual book upon which the series is based two detectives actually dance around the room in joy after being told that the surgeons operating on their victim have had to crack his chest, a surgical Godzilla Threshold procedure which (at the time the book was written) had a sub-10% survival rate. The man dies, and the detectives get their clearance.

They give the idiot ball to Pembleton, who refuses to even consider that a member of this family would perpetrate this crime as they did a lot of good for the city, even though their only other lead was a long shot. The reason they gave Pembleton the idiot ball was so Ballard could look good. This didn't get her off on the right foot with fans.

Homicide: Life on the Street / int_237f7eeb	comment	Vaughn Perkins from "Bop Gun" is a sensitive teenager who lost his father at an early age and grew up with an abusive, drug-addicted mother, and eventually had to be raised by his aunt. He moved back in with his mother and fell in with a bad crowd, and he kicks off the events of the episode when he shoots a woman during a fit of rage during a mugging. When Howard, who has been sympathetic to him and believes him to be covering up for his comparatively more hardened accomplices, visits him in prison and confronts him about it, Vaughn bluntly tells her that what he did was unforgivable and that he deserves to pay. It's also deconstructed, as the episode still portrays what happens to him as tragic and points out that he's only being sentenced so harshly because he's a black kid who shot a white woman.

They get on much better by the second half of the cross-over. Generally Pembleton's arrogance puts him at odds with his squad members, particularly Felton, as he considers them amateurish. To be fair, he has a right to as, aside from Howard (who clears nearly 100% of her cases), Pembleton has the best clearance rate. However Pembleton gets along much better with his squad members than he does other squads and, as noted above, other Police forces.

Homicide: Life on the Street / int_34dcfc96	comment	Kick the Dog: Gee tells Felton, who had just come back to work after being shot, that he hadn't been up to the job for a long time, even before he got shot. To be fair, the episodes before that showed Felton drinking and becoming increasingly erratic after his wife disappeared with his children, and his name had more red under it than most. In addition Felton actually lost evidence (that turned out to be a red-herring, but he didn't know that) during one of his drunken escapades. "You still walk on water, don't you Frank?" To be fair, Pembleton himself had previously kicked the dog when he didn't show Munch any gratitude for calling an Ambulance and then for coming to visit him while he was in the hospital (although, given what he was going through it's understandable. Pembleton also didn't think that Munch would care, given his persona around the squad room).

She is played by Harlee McBride, Richard Belzer's wife. A possible subtle one. When Pembleton is interrogating Gordon Pratt he mentions Jim Thompson and The Getaway. Talking about the film and its remake, Munch concludes that the remake wasn't worth remembering. The remake starred Alec Baldwin, brother of Daniel Baldwin who played Beau Felton.

He's a Psychopathic Manchild who pushed a man into the path of an oncoming subway train, and has done so before, but Bayliss points out he was institutionalized, but he was let out because of budget cuts even though he clearly still needed psychological help. That said, Pembleton and Bayliss are quick to mock him when he complains about being cold while his victim, currently pinned between the train and the subway platform, is slowly and agonizingly dying from his injuries a few feet away from him.

This is particularly notable in the second season when Bayliss claims that sex is love and decries the act of sex for pleasure as 'dehumanising'. Pembleton makes a point of telling him that he's either pretending to be virtuous or is simply an idiot. Later in the series Bayliss drastically changes his stance as he begins to embrace his bisexuality. Kellerman starts out as a kind of young idealist. Like Bayliss, he eventually breaks.

However, she reconciled with her father and Chick, and parts in good terms with them. The white gloves murder arc ends on one, which is heavy on the Bitter side. Annabella Wilgis is caught, but she's able to successfully sue the city due to Pembleton tricking one of her alters into burning herself. Pembleton also loses his faith as a result of the investigation into her murders. "Full-Court Press" ends with both detectives on the school case knocked out after hearing about the Sympathetic Murderer's Dark and Troubled Past, while the killer himself seems quite satisfied and much calmer than you would expect from someone in his place, knowing that he won in the end.

Bayliss is a sensitive, naive, and kind man who frequently reacts with outrage to the crime he investigates and empathizes with victims to an unhealthy degree. Meanwhile, Pembleton is ambitious and cold, focusing primarily on getting the job done no matter what, and is perfectly willing to bend the law to do so; he will destroy his own personal relationships and deliberately screw people over if it means solving a case. It is played with, as Pembleton is actually a moral absolutist with a black-and-white view on morality, which is what motivates a lot of his ruthlessness, whereas Bayliss is a lot better about acknowledging the moral grayness that motivates most of the crimes they investigate.

Homicide: Life on the Street / int_537dd8fe	comment	Affably Evil: Many of the murderers and criminals the detectives go after are quite friendly and amicable, and sincerely so. Even some of the more unsympathetic antagonists make genuine approaches of friendship with the detectives. Joseph Cardero from "Heartbeat" is quite polite and unassuming, despite it being clear to the detectives he buried a man alive simply for stealing a book from him. Rose Halligan (Lily Tomlin) from "The Hat" is a charming, friendly woman who gets along well with Kellerman and Lewis even as they escort her to prison. The two start to consider her as a friend and let their guard down, which proves disastrous as she manages to escape because of it and murder another person. Richard Laumer (Terry Kinney) from "Map of the Heart". He killed his own father so he could inherit his trust fund, but it doesn't stop him from being a Friendly Enemy to Bayliss and Pembleton. For their part, the two are so disgusted by him that they don't even bother reciprocating. Bennett Jackson from "The Documentary" is one of the most depraved murderers, but he's still quite polite and helpful to Bayliss and Pembleton.

Homicide: Life on the Street / int_5a194444	comment	But Not Too Bi: Bisexual Tim Bayliss is never shown with a boyfriend, despite having been stated to have had sex with at least one man. The closest we come is Tim being rejected by one black, closeted, uniformed officer, and going on a dinner date with a man who runs a mostly gay restaurant. It even takes the show a season to actually use the word bi(sexual); before that, Bayliss just says he's 'not strictly heterosexual'. As a counterpoint, Bayliss is shown to have had at least one girlfriend whom he had a full blown love scene with. He also had brief affairs/flirtations with at least three of his female co-workers (Cox, Ballard, Sheppard) and Claire Kincaid. Somewhat justified, though, in that Bayliss doesn't fully acknowledge his attraction to men until season 6, just one before the last- and by that point he doesn't strike up a serious romance with anyone for the remainder of the series.

Both are fan favourites, the former is widely considered the best of the series, and even one of the finest TV episodes ever. "The Documentary" in Season 5 could also qualify. "The Subway" takes place almost entirely in a subway station and includes only four of the nine regular cast members at the time.

Homicide: Life on the Street / int_7286e96d	comment	Idiot Ball: The Sniper episodes: Eight detectives really couldn't figure out that "EROMITLAB" is "BALTIMORE" backwards? The first episodes of season six feature a murder committed by a member of a prominent black family. They give the idiot ball to Pembleton, who refuses to even consider that a member of this family would perpetrate this crime as they did a lot of good for the city, even though their only other lead was a long shot. The reason they gave Pembleton the idiot ball was so Ballard could look good. This didn't get her off on the right foot with fans. The story arc where Bolander, Felton and Howard get shot. The Homicide squad spend two episodes hunting down the pedophile the detectives were supposed to serve the warrant on, despite the fact that everybody they talked to said he wasn't violent (and therefore probably didn't shoot the detectives), and despite the fact that they went to the wrong door in the first place. Finally, in the third part, they have the sense to hunt the man whose door they knocked on. Ed Danvers' office picked it up in a series of errors involving Ryland, including not showing up for a hearing, allowing him to go free on a procedural matter. Then passed to Bayliss, who proceeded to punch Danvers in the jaw and eventually kill Ryland in the finale. The Law & Order crossovers tend, probably due to Rule of Drama, to prioritize Jurisdiction Friction over solving cases Ed Danvers and Jack McCoy had to almost be forced to work together at times. Generally played straight with many criminals, but the worst example had to be a kid who shot another teen in a bowling alley- he honestly believed the police had to let him go because the victim was not his originally intended target. Megan Russert, when demoted THREE RANKS (from Captain to Detective) by an angry Barnfather for not kissing his butt, simply pouts a bit and doesn't fight it. Instead of going to her famous reporter cousin (Tim Russert had a cameo prior as himself, establishing this) and making massive media headlines over how corrupt the BPD was, she just goes home for a bit and then reports in at the squad room as usual.

"Thrill of the Kill" centers around the detectives pursuing an itinerant serial killer (Jeffrey Donovan) cruising America's highways and murdering people along the way. The villains of "Stakeout" are a serial killer and his accomplice who torture and murder teenage boys. Luke Ryland, a recurring villain in the final season, is a serial killer who develops a personal enmity with Bayliss.

Homicide: Life on the Street / int_819b6384	comment	Sympathetic Murderer: Mitchell Forman from "A Many Splendored Thing". He murders a man over a pen that only costs $4.00, but it's made clear that it was caused by mental instability rather than malice and he tries to commit suicide out of guilt. He eventually turns himself in peacefully when Lewis talks him out of killing himself. Vaughn Perkins from "Bop Gun", one of the few perps to ever show regret for their crime. He's a sensitive teenager who shoots a woman during a botched mugging, and ultimately enters a guilty plea for a life sentence as penance. Howard finds him so sympathetic that she initially tries to prove he's taking the fall for his accomplices, only stopping when he confesses that he did it in front of her. Downplayed with Larry Biedron from "Subway". He's a Psychopathic Manchild who pushed a man into the path of an oncoming subway train, and has done so before, but Bayliss points out he was institutionalized, but he was let out because of budget cuts even though he clearly still needed psychological help. That said, Pembleton and Bayliss are quick to mock him when he complains about being cold while his victim, currently pinned between the train and the subway platform, is slowly and agonizingly dying from his injuries a few feet away from him.

Homicide: Life on the Street / int_87504252	comment	The Big Board: One of the things that made the series unique. Each shift used one side of a giant two-sided dry-erase board to keep track of its cases, listed by number and the victim's last name. Open cases would be in red and closed cases would be in black (or blue, if a cold case had been solved), and any cases determined not to be a homicide were erased. A similarly designed board was used by the real-life Baltimore Police Departmentnote The show actually caused the Baltimore PD to stop using the board because commanders felt that it led to a public perception that detectives were keeping score. The board was reinstated after detective outcry. and in The Wire. In his guest appearance in Season 7, Kellerman would explain for the benefit of a jury exactly what 'The Board' is and how it works. Of course, long-term viewers most likely already knew, but it was good Description Porn nonetheless.

Homicide: Life on the Street / int_8ca20b69	type	Out-of-Character Moment
Homicide: Life on the Street / int_8ca20b69	comment	Out-of-Character Moment: Several, usually acknowledged by the writers, when the show either wrote-off or were in the process of writing off characters. Crosetti commits suicide but previous episodes demonstrated Crosetti to be a fairly Conservative Catholic and not suffering any significant pain other than arguments with his ex-wife and daughter. The typically proper and conservative Bolander is unlikely to get drunk and get naked while on duty or at a function like a Police conference. Hell, even characteristic drunk Felton is established to be the kind of drunk that simply stumbles from place to place, getting even more drunk, as opposed to what he's stated to have done to get himself suspended. Also, him and Bolander never hung out. Pembleton's drive for his work would never allow him to quit the force. In fact, Frank turned in his badge under similar circumstances in Season 3 (angered at Departmental cover-ups, plus the Deputy Commissioner screwed him over), only to return after Bayliss asserts that he could never be anything other than a cop. This incongruity is addressed in the last episode of Season 7 (where Bayliss confides to Sheppard that he always thought Frank would come back) and the Movie (when Tim asks Frank to turn him in, saying he'll always be a cop). Giardello runs for Mayor but throughout the series it's firmly established that Gee has no mind for politics, and commits what might be considered political suicide a number of times. His focus on drug legalization was also highly suspect. While it could be motivated by the Mahoney affair (and the few drug dealers we see in the film aren't too happy about it because it'd put them out of business), it is very unlikely he'd want to legalize drugs and felt like little more than a weak excuse for his killer's motive.

Later in the series Bayliss drastically changes his stance as he begins to embrace his bisexuality.

Homicide: Life on the Street / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: In "Fallen Heroes" part one, Pembleton has the chance to shoot Junior Bunk during his killing spree in the police station, but he hesitates. In part two, he freezes in front of an armed suspect and Bayliss takes a bullet for him. In general, Frank being a Non-Action Guy prone to making mistakes in dangerous situations had been foreshadowed several times (see also: first episode of season four). The "Justice" two-parter centers around a detective who snaps after his father's murderer is pronounced not guilty despite having clearly done it, and kills him in cold blood. This ultimately destroys his life when it's discovered and he's arrested. This foreshadows Kellerman and Bayliss's fates, particularly the latter. Both of them snap and kill a criminal they know to be guilty in cold blood, and it destroys their careers and emotional states. Similarly, Jimmy Tyron, the Arc Villain of Season 2, is a police officer who shot an unarmed suspect in cold blood, which ultimately ruins his life. It foreshadows Kellerman's killing of Luther Mahoney, which has a similar effect on him.

Homicide: Life on the Street / int_a3eea2ea	comment	Cop Killer: Used at least twice, with the same twist both times: the cop killer is himself killed shortly afterward, and the unlucky detective assigned to the case finds that nobody cares about justice for a dead cop killer. "End Game" has Gordon Pratt, a racist Smug Snake (played by Steve Buscemi) shoot at three of the homicide detectivesnote Bolander, Felton and Howard (he didn't manage to kill them) and practically brag about it — only to be shot dead in the last few minutes. In the follow up, "Law and Disorder," Bayliss is assigned to solve Pratt's murder and has to admit defeat because no cop will help him. In the "Justice" two-parter, a cop killer is acquitted in court and murdered shortly thereafter. The dead cop's son (played by Bruce Campbell) is suspect number one, but nobody can figure out the evidence trail until one of the detectives casually mentions that he owns a derringer. Gee explains that when he was a junior policeman, the Baltimore police always executed cop killers without trial, and usually did it with a derringer (which was easy to dispose of, and couldn't be traced back to the department).

Homicide: Life on the Street / int_a861560f	comment	The Friend Nobody Likes: Felton is a subversion: he obviously has a deep friendship with Howard and Russert, but after his alcoholism starts to affect his job, most of the other characters turn on him. Even before then though, the others had treated him with hostility or indifference prior to his shooting. Played straight with Officer Gharty, who was a Dirty Coward in his first appearance at the end of Season 4. He responded to a shooting call in a housing project, but didn't actually go in until the gunfire stopped; by that point, the shooters had killed each other. When brought before a trial board, he tried to hedge responsibility for his actions and succeeded. When he later became detective, while never popular, he wasn't actively hated either. Eventually played straight with Kellerman. After Lewis and Stivers let him take all the blame for the Luther Mahoney shooting and quit so they wouldn't be fired, his fellow detectives treated him like trash over both it and that he was now working as a private detective, even with him helping the solve the case of the episode arc he had returned in.note It also may have been the reason that he had worked exclusively with Mike Giardello in the Homicide movie; he was there with Kellerman's fellow, previous detectives upon his return, but wasn't around to let his past actions color his perceptions of him

Homicide: Life on the Street / int_ad17a1ac	comment	Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse: Vaughn Perkins from "Bop Gun" is a sensitive teenager who lost his father at an early age and grew up with an abusive, drug-addicted mother, and eventually had to be raised by his aunt. He moved back in with his mother and fell in with a bad crowd, and he kicks off the events of the episode when he shoots a woman during a fit of rage during a mugging. When Howard, who has been sympathetic to him and believes him to be covering up for his comparatively more hardened accomplices, visits him in prison and confronts him about it, Vaughn bluntly tells her that what he did was unforgivable and that he deserves to pay. It's also deconstructed, as the episode still portrays what happens to him as tragic and points out that he's only being sentenced so harshly because he's a black kid who shot a white woman. In "Extreme Unction", Pembleton confronts a serial killer who the detectives have been conducting a manhunt for for the past few episodes about her motives. The killer goes on an impassioned monologue on how her upbringing with an abusive fundamentalist mother inspired her to kill her victims "in the name of God" (i.e., because they were women who didn't Stay in the Kitchen). Pembleton laughs in her face and shuts her down. In "The Last of the Watermen", Howard helps the Chesapeake Bay police arrest her brother's friend, who had murdered a conservationist whose restrictions on how much fishing the local oystermen could do essentially destroyed the local economy. When her brother confronts her on it, she points out that he still murdered someone regardless of the reason. After Felton gets overwhelmed at a crime scene due to lingering trauma from getting shot a few episodes ago, Giardello goes to check on him. When Felton snaps at him, Giardello in turn angrily gives him a "The Reason You Suck" Speech about how he's a subpar detective and that he's sick of Felton making excuses for it. While Giardello does have a point about Felton's poor track record, it's still played as a Kick the Dog moment.

Homicide: Life on the Street / int_b08b714c	comment	Good Policing, Evil Policing: The series has a more morally gray take on morally contrasted law enforcement. The upper echelons of the Baltimore Police Department are petty bureaucrats who care more about good publicity and settling grudges than they do about good police work. Lower-level officers receive a more sympathetic portrayal and are generally well-intentioned people who do the job as best they can, but the series does not shy away from showing how most of the officers are heavily flawed and damaged people, biases often heavily influence investigations, and corruption and police brutality are always covered up. Other law enforcement agencies are not depicted positively either. The FBI constantly and often unnecessarily butts heads with the police over jurisdiction issues, and the Secret Service covers up a political assassination to avoid an international incident.

Also, in "Nearer, My God, To Thee" (episode 14), Munch issues a cynical monologue about TV and technocracy; in "Kaddish" (episode 73), a Whole Episode Flashback, a younger John Munch delivers the same monologue, but with a hopeful tone.

Pembleton knows Kellerman murdered him, but believes this is true because he thinks Mahoney didn't have a gun, and presses Kellerman to admit there was no gun. Kellerman finally shouts "He had a gun!" while unthinkingly miming a "gun hand" held to his side, mimicking Mahoney lowering his gun. Pembleton realizes then that yes, Mahoney was holding a gun, but no, he wasn't pointing it at Kellerman, and thus, Kellerman murdered Mahoney in cold blood.

The depth of character development in the early years probably hurt the reception of the newer detectives. This was especially true with Falsone, Gharty, and Ballard, who were made main characters in the first episode of the show's more fast paced sixth season, making their personalities seem arbitrary and flat in comparison with the traditional characters.

Homicide: Life on the Street / int_c2676b00	type	Jurisdiction Friction
Homicide: Life on the Street / int_c2676b00	comment	Jurisdiction Friction: In on episode, Kellerman is disgruntled by the fact that the F.B.I are not interested in the matter of a corrupt judge that he's bringing to them. One of the agents later tracks him down and, off-the-record, admits that they're already investigating the judge but official policy is not to discuss corruption investigations with local authorities. Kellerman experiences further friction when he finds himself working the same case as Falsone from opposite ends. The BPD refuses to share its information with Kellerman. There was some friction between the NYPD, Pembleton and Bayliss during the first Law and Order cross-over. NYPD refuses to include Pembleton or Bayliss in their investigation so Pembleton, already annoyed at the fact he came all the way to New York for a 'We'll keep you informed', decides to work the case by himself. They then get a better interrogation of their suspect as a result of the information they had that the NYPD didn't. However, during this interrogation, Pembleton inadvertently violates the suspect's rightsnote Frank didn't know that, in New York, if a suspect says he 'thinks' he wants a Lawyer, he gets one and the interview is over. Conversely in Baltimore, the interview ends if, and only if, the suspect says 'I want a lawyer' or words to that effect (See Gone for Goode) thus jeopardising the case and pissing off the New York authorities even more. Nevertheless the NYPD and the BPD then decide that it's probably best they work with each other rather than against each other for the remainder of the case, and the BPD are more accommodating when Briscoe and Curtis come to Baltimore. The third Law and Order cross-over has this trope played straight, with the BPD and NYPD trying to work a case and the FBI and Independent Counsel probing that case to offer deals to the suspects in exchange for information about President Clinton's wrong-doings. Mike Giardello is caught in the middle.

Pembleton tells Bayliss that he's to embrace his vices and get to know them in order to be virtuous, because virtue isn't real virtue if it hasn't been tested. Because the context was a discussion of exploration of sexuality, Bayliss takes this to heart and learns to embrace the darker side of his sexuality, eventually identifying as bisexual. However, Pembleton's advice had a clear, non-sexual, element to it that Bayliss totally missed. As a result, he does not apply Pembleton's advice in dealing with his cases and Bayliss eventually snaps and executes Luke Ryland when he is freed on a technicality In the episode where Felton is found murdered Howard mentions that Felton spoke to her about getting back together with his wife. This is in spite of the fact that Felton previously stated that he and his wife probably shouldn't be together.

No doubt intentional as he only had his job period due to greater willingness to pander to the upper brass, more so than any actual qualifications. The episode "Every Mother's Son" features a fourteen-year old perp who shot a similarly aged victim in a bowling alley. Most of the characters highlight how he's too young to be killing people.

In the reunion movie he's teaching religious philosophy at Fordham(!) which may or may not indicate he's regained his faith. Bayliss experiments with a variety of faiths, culminating in Zen Buddhism. However, the fact that he shot a man (one who pulled a gun on him) made him, in his opinion, a bad Buddhist. Bayliss eventually abandons religious belief entirely.

Only about three examples come up: all involving Bayliss and all ending with him being stopped and/or swiftly reprimanded. - However, making suspects THINK they're getting physically threatened is not uncommon. This exhibits the show's realism. In real life, hitting suspects for statements is absolutely forbidden and can destroy a detective's career. Acting threatening without saying or doing anything that looks to an objective observer like a threat is very much allowed and in use. In the episode End Game, Gordon Pratt believes that the Detectives will physically assault him and he says racially inflammatory things to the primarily black detectives, as a result the interrogation becomes an exercise in physical restraint. Lewis eventually leaves the room because Pratt makes him so angry.

Homicide: Life on the Street / int_e5421161	comment	Expy: The original cast were based on the detectives from David Simon's book, but with names, genders and nationalities/race completely changed (examined in further detail here). Also, the actual BPD homicide unit (as described in the book) had three squads on each of its two shifts in 1988, with each squad consisting of five detectives supervised by a detective sergeant. On the show, Gee's shift consists of between six and eight detectives, who typically work in pairs, and has no sergeant until Howard passes the promotion exam at the beginning of Season 4. The character Brodie was seen by some as David Simon's analogue, which would make him the only non original character to be based on someone from the book.

To the point that he didn't care who he hurt in the process of getting to the truth, a prime example would be the episode 'Colors' where Pembleton jeopardized his friendship with Bayliss in trying to convict his cousin of murder.

Homicide: Life on the Street / int_eb8ec7c8	comment	Jerkass: Felton, Gharty (both accused racists), Pembleton , Munch, Bolander (while generally nice the way he treats Munch is exactly how Pembleton treats Bayliss) and, after a long character arc, Kellerman. Gaffney, however, is easily the biggest. Danvers was originally, but this was probably because of the pressures of his job. As the series progressed he became much more likeable. Bayliss also followed similar character development, but he could be even more unlikeable if he outright hated a suspect, and at times his attitude would mirror Frank's.

This isn't as noticeable as in some series because they were rarely on camera together (and were not main cast members at the same time) and because Kellerman was generally referred to by his last name and Mike Giardello generally by his first, as his father, Al Giardello, was also a major character.
