Homicide: Life on the Street: Season 6 (1997-1998)

The 6th season began with an over-long, not really that interesting three parter with James Earl Jones; fortunately it improved from there leaving us with a two part season final, which is probably the most exciting season ender of the series. I love how the writers turned the death of chief villain Luther Mahony at the end of the 5th season (which they did not want to do), into the catalyst for much of the action of season 6. These turn of events affect primary Lewis and Kellerman (I love that they stayed true to his self-destructive arc), but also new detective Falsone, and ultimately Bayliss and Pembelton in a manner that also relates to the latters stroke at the end of season 4. I also liked Callie Thorne and Peter Gerety’s partnership. This show has remarkably few weak spots. 5 out of 5. Also included on the boxed set is a PBS documentary about the making of the famous ‘subway’ episode.
