...easily the most authentic-feeling cop show ever aired" - Detroit Free Press

Crime and punishment direct from the streets of Baltimore. Powerful, darkly humorous, and always original, this final season brings an explosive end to one of the edgiest police dramas ever to hit television–HOMICIDE: LIFE ON THE STREET.

A critical darling during its groundbreaking run, HOMICIDE: LIFE ON THE STREET features authentic Maryland locations, storylines based on real-life cases, and a caliber of acting and camerawork rarely found on the small screen. Top-notch guest directors like Brad Anderson (The Machinist), Lisa Cholodenko (Laurel Canyon), and Miguel Arteta (The Good Girl) deliver consistently riveting episodes, and the killer soundtrack features contemporary music’s most creative artists (Beck, Ani DiFranco, John Hiatt, and Missy Elliott).

Executive produced by Barry Levinson (Rain Man, Diner) and Tom Fontana (OZ, St. Elsewhere) and created by Paul Attanasio (Gideon’s Crossing, Quiz Show), the seventh season of HOMICIDE: LIFE ON THE STREET won the Humanitas Prize and International Monitor Award. On DVD for the first time, this collection features all 22 episodes from the final season of the Emmy and Peabody award-winning series.
