Anecdotes
Translating some of the terms and phrases used in the series for American viewers: A "door knock" is a neighborhood canvas, where police knock on doors to locate witnesses to the crime. A "death knock" is the notification of the next-of-kin of the death of a victim. To "root" someone is to have sex with them, while "rooted" means someone is tired. Similarly, "stuffed" means being tired, but telling someone to get stuffed is similar to telling them to go screw themselves. A "reggo" is a vehicle registration, which reveals the owner. A "shottie" is the term used for a shotgun.

When confronting a suspect, the police do not yell "Freeze!" as they do on American cop shows. Instead, they yell "Police! Don't move!".

Crédits fous
At the beginning of each programme, a title card is shown that reads "No greater honour will ever be bestowed upon an officer than when they are entrusted with an investigation into the death of a Human Being."

First rate drama

I am always quite skeptical about Australian made dramas (and comedies for that matter). In my opinion it has never really been our forte, the writing talent hasn't been there. Fly-on-the wall, variety and reality: sure we excel but not in scripted stuff. But the times are changing, well on some networks at least.

City Homicide is a beautifully executed piece of television. In every way. The writing is strong, snappy and fast paced and is peppered with subtle Aussie humour. The dialogue is excellent. The acting (lead by Noni Hazelhurst and Shane Bourne) is first-class. This can be a real rarity on Aussie TV. The cinematography, editing and music is superb. I have never been so impressed. The Seven Network has done us proud with this production. All Saints isn't bad either, though it is no CH.

Compare all this to the tripe the Nine Network dishes up (and subsequently sells overseas): Sea Patrol. SP is the WORST piece of television I have seen. They spent records amounts of money on it, and for what? Writing? Doesn't appear to be any. Good dialogue? Next. Good acting? Not when Lisa McCune is around. Cinematography? Editing? Music? Mmm the less said about the first two the better and as for the music, it sounds like Mrs Hahn's year 8 music class did it on a synth keyboard. But wait the show is filmed on a real Navy patrol boat. Well then it must be good.

I digress. CH is excellent in every way.
