City Homicide

City Homicide follows a group of detectives in the Homicide department of Melbourne's Metropolitan Police Headquarters.

City Homicide (2007-2011) is an Australian police procedural crime drama created by John Banas and John Hugginson and produced for the Seven Network. The series follows a team of detectives in the Homicide department of Melbourne's Metropolitan Police Headquarters, with Daniel MacPherson playing Detective Senior Constable Simon Joyner, Shane Bourne as Detective Senior Sergeant Stanley Wolfe, Noni Hazlehurst as Commander Bernice Waverley, and Nadine Garner as Detective Senior Constable Jennifer Mapplethorpe. The engine of the show is the grind of murder investigations: squads working through bodies, interviews, and bureaucratic pressure, with each hour built around a fresh case while personal lives and office politics carry across episodes. Across five seasons and eighty-four episodes of one-hour runtime, the format mixes case-driven storytelling with a slowly shifting ensemble. The tone is gritty and sober, grounded in the procedural texture of contemporary Melbourne policing. Fans of Homicide: Life on the Street, Law & Order and Underbelly will find resonance in its blend of ensemble detective work, urban crime and institutional friction.
