Homicide

Amazing!! The editing was simply perfect, but the true stories oh my they were so sad but very interesting to hear. The people behind all the hard work to find out the results were brilliant and very well spoken about the cases and families involved! Need another 5 episodes!!!

I enjoyed how much depth each episode went into but going back to the editing and the footage were a great addition to really get the gist of the cases.

I generally love unsolved cases but this mini documentary was done brilliantly and I am needing more especially finding out who were the killers and finding the justice in court.

It was an interesting tv shows but it shows the mismanagement from the Police. Some cases stayed unsolved for years because they missed some very obvious witnesses and leads. I was pretty shocked!! Most of the time I thought " how could you miss that ?" And how can you take 5 days before checking a CCTV or look at extremely obvious locations. I don't find that show flattering at all for the US detectives tbh! They need more training obviously. Most of the episodes are a proof that something went incredibly wrong in their judgment and reasoning. And it also shows how the US legal system is dysfunctional. Amazing !

Detectives and family members detail the events, scars and tragedies of several murders, crimes that took place across various parts of New York.

This is a very well made, well produced and well presented series. Some well known crimes, one or two perhaps not as famous, I was definitely aware of both thr Deli and Pilmar cases, each episode though, has something to offer.

Don't expect any wild theories, outlandish theories, or heaven forbid, some of the obscure goings on of something like Files of the unexplained, this is very grounded, nothing is sensationalised or over dramatised.

A fascinating insight into how much The Police invest in their cases, also interesting to see the crossovers.

I hope another series follows.

8/10.

This is a very good New York based Law and Order documentary on Netflix. Very much like the hit series from so many years on television it covers the crime, the investigation, the arrest, and the conviction. The docuseries covers a number of infamous New York cases through the eyes of the Detectives, Prosecutors, and witnesses to the crime, There is a lot of archival footage and perspectives on how the crimes fit into the overall social and historical landscapes of New York City. This is not the most exciting crime documentary but it is good. You get a good sense of the personal stake the police investigators and Prosecutors take in these cases. Worth seeing.

On the island of Manhattan there are two detective squads dedicated to homicides: Manhattan North and Manhattan South, this are the stories! You can almost hear the classic "Law & Order" music at the end . Veeery interesting and challenging crime stories created by Dick Wolf, seen from the point of view of the NYPD and the prosecuters.

The series is very well done and documented, the 5 episodes go by quickly, which is a very good sign. The only negative I must say that I also found it a little over produced, but this true crime show is so intriguing and exciting that it didn't matter to me at all.

If you are not a fan of this type of crime and police series, it is better not to watch it, it has graphic images of some crimes and quite a few very morbid details.

I certainly recommend this, it truly serves the essence of the NYPD, and the city of New York no matter the decade it was being set in.
