Season overview
Murder in the First is an American mystery‑drama television series that premiered in 2014. Created by Steven Bochco and Eric Lodal, the show is set in San Francisco and follows homicide detectives Terry English and Hildy Mulligan as they investigate a single murder case. Season 1 presents the case in a continuous narrative, tracing the crime from its commission through the investigation, arrest and trial, rather than resetting the story each episode. The series stars Taye Diggs as Terry English and Kathleen Robertson as Hildy Mulligan. By structuring the season around one investigation, the program emphasizes detailed procedural work and legal proceedings. The series aired for three seasons, beginning on June 9 2014, and is classified as a TV‑MA mystery, drama and crime program. The format aligns with the series’ premise of dissecting a single murder case across an entire season, offering a sustained focus on both the detectives’ work and the judicial process. This continuous‑case structure distinguishes the series from many procedural dramas that resolve a new crime each episode, allowing the first season to function as a single, extended investigation rather than an anthology.
