Ziemlich schüchtern tritt Tim Bayliss seinen Dienst im Morddezernat von Baltimore an. Er wird alles andere als freundlich Willkommen geheißen: Abgesehen davon, daß es im Büro nicht einmal einen Schreibtisch für ihn gibt, ist keiner der Detectives sonderlich begeistert von der Idee, mit dem idealistischen Anfänger zusammenzuarbeiten. Kay Howard, der einzige weibliche Detective des Morddezernats, setzt sich schlichtweg über die Anweisungen von Lieutenant Giardello hinweg und „überläßt“ den Neuling ausgerechnet Frank Pembleton, einem notorischen Einzelgänger.

Episoden-Guide
1. Staffel 1 (9 Episoden)
Die erste Staffel von „Homicide: Life on the Street“, einer amerikanischen Krimiserie, lief in den USA vom 31. Januar bis 31. März 1993 auf NBC. Die Serie wurde von Paul Attanasio entwickelt, während Filmregisseur Barry Levinson und Drehbuchautor und Produzent Tom Fontana als ausführende Produzenten fungierten. Basierend auf David Simons Sachbuch „Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets“ aus dem Jahr 1991, begleitete die Staffel die fiktiven Detectives der Mordkommission des Baltimore Police Department bei ihren Ermittlungen. Die Serie wurde mittwochs um 21 Uhr EST ausgestrahlt, mit Ausnahme der Serienpremiere, die direkt im Anschluss an den Super Bowl XXVII lief.
In dieser Staffel wurden die Hauptdarsteller Daniel Baldwin, Ned Beatty, Richard Belzer, Andre Braugher, Clark Johnson, Yaphet Kotto, Melissa Leo, Jon Polito und Kyle Secor vorgestellt. Die meisten Hauptcharaktere basierten auf realen Detectives aus Baltimore, die in Simons Buch vorkommen, darunter Gary D'Addario, Terrence McLarney, Harry Edgerton, Donald Worden und Jay Landsman. Viele der Handlungsstränge der ersten Staffel wurden ebenfalls aus dem Buch adaptiert, insbesondere der Mord an der elfjährigen Latonya Kim Wallace im Baltimore des Jahres 1988, der die Grundlage für den Mordfall Adena Watson in der Serie bildete. Die Episode „Night of the Dead Living“, ursprünglich als dritte Folge geschrieben, wurde auf Drängen der NBC-Verantwortlichen zum Staffelfinale, was zu einigen merklichen Kontinuitätsfehlern führte.

Die DVD-Box der siebten Staffel erschien in Region 1 am 28. Juni 2005 und enthält alle 22 Episoden auf sechs Discs.

Infolgedessen genehmigte der Sender eine siebte Staffel mit 22 Episoden.
