#homicide: life on the street

[thebestestwinner]

One of the most deserved Emmy wins in history was Andre Braugher for his work as Det. Frank Pembleton on Homicide: Life on the Street. (That show alone is worth signing up for Peacock to watch.) He also won for his work on the mini-series Theif, and was nominated for his more recent, and also excellent work as Captain Holt on Brooklyn 99 (two iconic cops, two iconic shows, and that’s only skimming his career!). We lost a legend.

Since Homicide is an older show (and was not available on streaming for way too long), here’s a taste of his work on one of the best cop shows ever:

I recently started rewatching "Homicide: Life on the Street" on Peacock. It was really the first TV drama that I ever watched. I think I started watching it in its fourth season, when I was in eighth grade.

I haven't really seen it two decades or so (it didn't stream for a long time because of music rights issues) and I was wondering how it would hold up. Three decades have passed since it premiered. Half of the first season cast is now dead.

And it's still one of the best damn things I've ever seen. The fifth episode, "Three Men and Adena", is honestly still the best dramatic acting I've seen on TV courtesy of Andre Braugher, Kyle Secor, and Moses Gunn.

So there's a good chance this might be a thing I start mentioning in my blog occasionally. If you've never seen it (and there's a good chance you haven't, since most of my mutuals were born in 2002...) and you want to get into a kickass 122 episode-long cop drama from the 1990s, well here you go...

I Miss Him Already

I know it seems cliched, but a part of me feels like I've lost a member of my own family. I admit it made me feel a little bit better seeing so many news outlets, colleagues, and fans share stories about meeting him, working with him, and watching him in roles where he owned the stage and screen like no other.

My heart goes out to Andre's family and friends because I know if he meant this much to those of us who never met him, I can't even imagine how much he meant to you.

Rest in peace, Mr. Braugher. You are gone, but not forgotten.

"Fettucine alla gus'. Home-made wine."

"This is living."

"Yeah. [...] This is it right here."

"What?"

"The dividing line between Little Italy and Perkins Homes. My two homes. My father came from here and my mother from there. I used to sit on this spot and listen to Italian being spoken to jive... to the music. The area was always filled with music. The hurdy-gurdy men with their street pianos and fiddles. Billie Holiday. Eubie Blake. All different sounds but they all seemed to come together, somehow. It sure sounded good to me. I don't hear it anymore, Jimmy. All I hear is the same dull sound. The same, dull, beating sound. Constant, unending, bam, bam, bam, bam. And yet... what can we do except to try to get it back, try to get the... music back?"

"I don't know. Maybe we move on."

[Pause, laughter.]

"Move on?"

[More laughter.]

"Have a good life, my friend."

Andre Braugher RIP

[pinstripebindi]

this is streaming for the first time, on Peacock, and I thought I'd check it out, partly for Andre Braugher (PBUH) and partly to be a David Simon completist. delighted that these cops are all a bunch of fucking weirdos. Detective Munch I was expecting since I know him from other shows--fun fact, the character is in the Guinness Book of World Records as having been on the most different TV shows (there was even a Muppet version of Munch.)

But there's also the cop obsessed with Lincoln assassination conspiracy theories. And the one who keeps talking about flooding the old stadium, maybe to turn it into an aquarium but maybe just because that would be cool. Melissa Leo's character claimed the ghost of a homicide victim told her where the murder weapon was stashed, and when that didn't work out her partner claimed he found it by doing a tarot spread. that was just the first 3 episodes.
