I Am Homicide

I read some of the reviews on this show and was shocked! I just can't imagine not liking Det. McFadden! He's intelligent, funny and I love his laugh along with that larger then life smile! I even love his ego. I can't even imagine what it takes to be a Homicide Detective. A special breed. The show is done excellently with the Detective explaining his thoughts while he is investigating and where it finally leads him. As for people who have written about his ghetto slang again I like it. It is who the man is and I watch the show to see that. This show and "Murder Chose Me" are my favorites. Very different individuals but with the same ego. I love the acting specifically when you can read someone's thoughts by looking in their eyes. That's excellent acting. I never would have thought my favorite TV shows would be about true crime specifically where I don't watch much TV but it just goes to show ID did a great job choosing Det. McFadden and the way the show is directed.

The guy is sharply dressed but makes the rookie mistake in the commercial by buttoning the last button on his suit coat.I can expect a young man with a single mother to make this distracting mistake but not a 50 year old man. What's worse is the wardrobe department didn't know any better!

I really like this unique style of story telling, the detective's personality really makes the show. He touches you in way that you fill for the victims and you cheer for the hero that brings down the criminals. It is also so nice to see something different from all the reality shows the are based on women yelling at each other or anyone . So in my opinion you brought television back to life and thank you for that.

Low and behold..thats his favorite oneliner....he's so intelligent that he says 'aks' instead of ask..he acts like he solves everything by him self.

Complaning abouth his former chief (backstabbing) ..bragging abouth how great he is..he could fit right in a episode of Shaft as a pimp.... When his phone rings he always uses the term 'ringadingding'..it's the great McFadden show,using victims for his benefit.

If a cop like him came to me and act as cockey as he does without any proof,I would be realy pissed..accusing people in a disrespectfull manor,to find out later they are innocent.

He looks likw a clown,acts like a clown and still thinks he's serious

I don't like this guy.

Reviews here either love it or hate it. The haters seem to disparage it for not being big city slick. Watch TV for that. I'm a long time true crime addict and this show is every bit as good as Homicide Hunter but with an entirely different flavor. One thing, it's in the South and sports some local dialect. If that puts your nose out of joint, get over yourself and just enjoy the crime solving. Garry McFadden, our detective, speaks home style, just like you would be jawing with friends. His approach to crime and criminals is educational. You almost feel like you could learn to do this job. What I really like is the enthusiasm he has for the chase. There is no doubt he loves his job--just the kind of guy that should be doing it.
