From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Homicide: Second Shift was a pioneering internet web-show that tied into the TV series Homicide: Life on the Street. The web-show started in 1997. Stories frequently extended from one show to the other. The show featured detectives of the homicide squad that worked the second shift, after the LotS detectives went home for the day. There have been crossovers between the two shows with characters from one showing up on the other.
The show was ultimately cancelled due to financial constraints. Having a separate cast of actors, scripts, and productions proved too expensive to be supported by internet-based advertising revenue of the time. The innovative web-show however did garner critical praise and won internet awards. Downloading episodes were also lengthy ordeals in the dial-up age of the web-explosion.
