Homicide: Life on the Street: Difference between revisions

* [[Da Chief]]: Lt Giardello though it should be noted that Lt Giardello also has a rebellious streak and is often at odds with his own '[[Da Chief]]'.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Munch.

* [[Determinator]]: Bayliss, especially in his obsession with the Adena Watson case.

{{quote|'''Det Bayliss''': ...I'm not gonna stop until I put this case down.

''' Bayliss''': What side?

''' Munch''': The obsessive side. }}

* [[Depending on the Writer]]: Not a real problem, but definitely shows in "Bop Gun." This was written by David Simon, and used a lot of the lingo ("humble," "yo," etc.) that was in the book and was later featured in ''[[The Wire]]''. For most of the run, the show tended to use standard language, or included explanations with police jargon.

* [[Deus Angst Machina]]: Bayliss {{spoiler|was molested as a child, had a terrible relationship with his father, gets some of the shift's worst cases, has a complicated and mostly unhappy social life, has health problems, takes a bullet for his best friend who later quits the job leaving him alone, and is eventually haunted by the [[Vigilante Execution]] he commits}}.
