Promotions on Seven for the second last episode of City Homicide are using the line “ Could this be the end of Homicide?”
Given the events in the six part series “No Greater Honour” that make up the end of season five of City Homicide – it could well be.
Apart from the usual murders that are solved in each episode, this final series of City Homicide has a six episode story arc that uncovers corruption and lies going right to the top – right to the Attorney-General. As investigations get closer to the truth, more murders are encountered, and Homicide is ordered to be shut down.
If you have missed this years’ series so far, it might well be worth catching the last two. The opening minutes of each episode give enough information in the “previously on City Homicide” scenes to inform any new viewer the main points of the story.
The final episode ends with a montage of scenes highlighting the last four years of the show.
Having watched City Homicide pretty much from the beginning, there certainly was a decline in quality in the past year, but this series has the show back to its old form. It’s a shame Seven didn’t put more promotion into it, and screened it at an earlier time – I believe the ratings would have been there. But then again, the writing was probably already on the wall anyway.
Whether City Homicide will return or not is still in the air.
