Poetic Television Review: Happy to Be Here (Homicide: Life on the Street, S3X05, 1994)
In streets of Baltimore, where shadows play,
A city's darkness hides its face away,
From personal lives to professional might,
The detectives struggle, lost in endless night.
Their chaos festers, a recurring theme,
As personal demons fuel the crime scene,
Sam Thorne's death, a tragic, brutal fate,
A catalyst for truth, a case to await.
Matt Cameron's confession, a tragic tale,
Of youthful greed and a life to fail,
While those who orchestrated the hit remain free,
Justice is elusive, a myth to see.
Bayliss's unraveling, a poignant sight,
As emotions boil, and reason takes flight,
The liquor store scene, a raw, desperate cry,
A performance that pierces, and makes us sigh.
In parallel, Bayliss's love life does unwind,
A complicated web of desire and design,
Emma's refusal to let go, a heart that's torn,
Andy's presence, a poison that's forever sworn.
Munch's bar scheme falters, a business to lose,
Felton's children, a motherless, hopeless muse,
Their stories intertwined, a narrative complex,
A city's struggles, a human, relatable mix.
Happy to Be Here, an episode of great might,
A portrayal of real-life issues, shining bright,
Drug violence, familial strife, a context so true,
A narrative that resonates, and sees us through.
The episode's focus, a beacon of hope and light,
A more grounded storyline, a welcome sight,
Strong performances, a testament to the cast,
A notable episode, that will forever last.
