One episode that always got me is Three Men and Adena. This is an entire episode that takes place in the interrogation room. Following the death of a young girl that becomes a cold case, the investigators think they have a suspect that they can get a confession out of given enough time. What we saw is a protracted interrogation that results in some revealing information, but nothing concrete enough to produce a conviction. It has some of the best performances I've ever seen on television, especially from Andre Braugher who plays Frank Pembleton.



I'll let you all look up that episode, but just to give you a sample of the kind of show Homicide was, I present this clip of Braugher getting a confession in another case. Such an under appreciated show.





Loved that show!!!
