Homicide (2024)
6/10
Police work is interesting. Crime is boring.

Warning: Spoilers
Dick Wolf's crime drama TV shows like Law & Order would have you believe all of NYC's violent crime is committed by privileged Wall Street millionaires or their smug, punchable-face prep school sons.

But as we learn here, most crime in real life is committed by exactly who you'd expect, for either a lame motive (shoot 5 people for $2800?) or no motive at all. Sad and frustrating.

The cops have interesting tales of how police work is a grind until you find that one clue or dumb lucky break that blows the case open. Their dogged patience is impressive, but the editing and lighting attempts to create drama that is unnecessary.

A perfectly good crime documentary but nothing to make it stand out from the many other options on streaming or Investigation Discovery.
