Murder in the First is an American detective drama television series created by Steven Bochco and Eric Lodal which follows a single case across an entire season, starting with San Francisco homicide detectives Terry English and Hildy Mulligan investigating what originally appear to be two unrelated murders.
The mystery deepens, however, when they find both murders have a common denominator in a Silicon Valley wunderkind called Erich Blunt.
In the second season, as San Francisco recovers from a deadly school bus massacre, English and Mulligan investigate the death of a fellow officer and uncover a conspiracy within the police force that threatens to shake the city to its core.
