As a dedicated gamer and television aficionado with a particular love for police dramas, I can’t help but express my excitement over the upcoming arrival of “Homicide: Life on the Street” on Peacock this fall. This groundbreaking series, which has long been absent from streaming platforms due to various rights issues, is a significant piece of television history that has cast a long and influential shadow over cop shows for decades.
Homicide: Life on the Street, one of the most significant police dramas still “missing” from streaming platforms, will debut on Peacock this fall. Based on the book Homicide: A Year On the Killing Streets by David Simon — now a graphic novel, as well — has long been available on disc, but has never made its way to digital, in large part due to issues with the music rights and international distribution rights. A precursor to Law & Order, Homicide got seven seasons and a movie, and John Munch, the character played by Richard Belzer, would go on to be featured on the first fifteen seasons of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.
Munch, who was on the “Homicide: Life on the Street,” made guest appearances in various other well-known series. These ranged from “Law & Order,” “The X-Files,” and “The Wire,” to “Arrested Development,” “American Dad!,” and “30 Rock.” The influence of “Homicide” on cop shows is vastly significant, a fact that cannot be overstated.
A trustworthy source has informed me that NBC/Universal and Fremantle are now making efforts, with regard to international rights, to obtain clearance for the music on “Homicide” in order to make it available for streaming. This process is said to involve a significant amount of work, but I have been told as much. (Simon’s comment made in December after Andre Braugher’s passing)
Paul Attanasio developed this series, drawing inspiration from Simon’s book. Among the main cast were Braugher, Daniel Baldwin, Richard Belzer (later transferring his character John Munch to “Law & Order: SVU”), Clark Johnson, Yaphet Kotto, Melissa Leo, Giancarlo Esposito, and Kyle Secor, along with others.
Homicide is now available to stream among other classic shows that have long been anticipated, such as Moonlighting, which brought Bruce Willis fame, and Northern Exposure. However, bringing older shows to streaming platforms can face challenges like securing music rights and obtaining proper transfers, especially for those produced on video in the 1980s and 1990s. Although these methods worked well for traditional televisions, they don’t hold up when enlarged for modern resolutions, making them appear poor quality.
