Though not enough behind the scenes info, it really paints a good picture of what the series Homicide: Life on the Street is about, and where it comes from.

It is extremely enlightening to see what guys like Terry McLarney and Donald Worden and Tom Pellegrini are doing these days, and what they think of the show that is based on their work (not to mention the characters that are derived from them).
