series 3 hits the groud running

Homicide began its third season with an example of how it was going to work things out. Before a show would have several small stories going on simultaneously--- some crime related, some personal. From this point on, there would generally be one major police related story and several personal stories. Furthermore, these major crimes would be related in two or three episode blocks. There are still some problems that haven’t quite been worked out in ‘Nearer My God to Thee’.Russert and Giardello have a hard time demonstrating who is in charge. And we’re still not quite certain how to deal with the pres (the appearance of reporter Matt Rhodes doesn’t quite jive with the workings of the episode) But ‘Homicide’, after nine months has found its feet again and will be demonstrating that there was still gold to be mined from this show.
