Review

a missed opportunity

‘Homicide’ may have handled the shooting of the three detectives in atypical fashion. But they handle the detectives return in a typical TV way. Even although Stan Bolander took a bullet in the head and Kay Howard took one in the heart less than a week ago, yet here they are returning to work less than a week later. Not only is this dramatically cheap, its misses a great opportunity to get drama out of the long recovery process. (Then again, maybe the writers hurried the detectives return because they didn’t know if they would be back next year.)
