Why is Detective Frank Pembleton (Andre Braugher) grinning ferociously as he points towards a white dress glove? Why is Detective Tim Bayliss (Kyle Secor) haunted by the photo of Adena Watson he cradles? For the answers, binge watch what was The Best Damned Show on Television, "Homicide: Life on the Street" (1993-99). The series was notable for diversity, vivid characterization, great writing and acting, and dynamic camerawork. It had it all, comedy, tragedy, pathos, virtue and vice, in short: humanity.
