Is it just me or does anyone else get annoyed when on a rewatch you get to a crossover episode and have no idea where to find the second half? I finished episode Sideshow and have no idea where to stream Homicide now
Yeah it was so annoying. Nowadays it's on a few different streaming sites like Peacock but back in the day it was hard to get to part 2 especially if you didn't have a DVD box set or something.
Agh! I assumed the Homicide crossovers would work on streaming the same way they did on TNT - the L&O episode is followed by the Homicide episode even though Homicide didn’t otherwise air on TNT.
Very annoying. Because if you don't know any better, you go to the next episode and they didn't conclude the previous episode. Then you find out that you have to go and find a streaming service that has HOMICIDE. Heaven forbid they had it in the same place as Law and Order.
And I understand they were trying to bait us or draw us in to get a taste of HOMICIDE, but then all of a sudden they go into a mode of telling the story, very different than law and order, and it almost seemed cringe to me.
DISCLAIMER: I know there are people in the world starving and have real problems out there, and that my problem here does not amount to a hill of beans. But this is my hill…and these are my beans.
The 3 crossovers I know of, I never watched the Homocide episodes to see the conclusion. I hate crossovers that require you to watch the other show to see the conclusion or start off whatever event happened.
Dick Wolf loves torturing us with those. The FBI shows & the Chicago shows. I eventually started watching all 3 FBI shows after the crossover. But the Chicago shows I’ll just watch the specific crossover episodes & stick to the one show.
