Homicide: Life on the Street 5

Homicide was a great show, and I was upset they took it off the air. The characters felt real, both the criminals and the cops, and they gave the viewer an actual feel of the community they were serving. It also took you threw the whole spectrum of being a cop and conducting an investigation, without the nice tidy wrap up at the end of the hour. The Law and Orders can be viewed as isolated one hour vignettes, while Homicide continued the drama week in and week out. Definitely the best police drama that has been made for TV.
