- TriviaTranslating some of the terms and phrases used in the series for American viewers: A "door knock" is a neighborhood canvas, where police knock on doors to locate witnesses to the crime. A "death knock" is the notification of the next-of-kin of the death of a victim. To "root" someone is to have sex with them, while "rooted" means someone is tired. Similarly, "stuffed" means being tired, but telling someone to get stuffed is similar to telling them to go screw themselves. A "reggo" is a vehicle registration, which reveals the owner. A "shottie" is the term used for a shotgun.
When confronting a suspect, the police do not yell "Freeze!" as they do on American cop shows. Instead, they yell "Police! Don't move!".
- Crazy creditsAt the beginning of each programme, a title card is shown that reads "No greater honour will ever be bestowed upon an officer than when they are entrusted with an investigation into the death of a Human Being."

Featured review
Last September, Mount Gambier's WIN Television station had a bit of a shakeup: WIN had signed an affiliation agreement with Seven (which people are still whining about almost ten months later), and we'd been getting the new programming. I'd started enjoying most of the new programming.
Anyway, One night, I had come home from visiting my grandparents, and saw City Homicide (I think it was the third episode). It was a brilliant show! Shane Bourne is an excellent actor, and with another Australian acting great, Noni Hazelhurst, it was sure to be an excellent show.
It's a well written show, better than CSI or all those other ones.
Someone else compared this show to Sea Patrol: I agree fully with their remarks. Sea Patrol was a rubbish show (We'd had Channel Nine programming beforehand). The acting wasn't there, there was no plot, it was just "ugh!", to sum it up in a word. City Homicide, on the other hand, had me on the edge of my seat on every episode. The adds annoyed me badly, simply because they got in the way of a brilliant, well-written plot.
If you see this show, watch it. (Oh, and if anyone from Channel Seven is reading this, Release Season Two already! And make it much, much, longer! Please?)
