I don’t watch TV, good or bad, OK?
As for semantics, you can have your ‘homicide’. I call it ‘murder’, which is a word in common use among most of English speakers of all social classes, even if the courts have their own absurd bureaucratic categories such as “a fourth degree involuntary vehicular homicide”. Oh, and there is no such verb as “to homicide”. This is not a court or a legal venue, D’uh! Go back now to your “good TV”.
That’s because homicide is a noun, not a verb. You can kill something, but you can’t homicide something. Darn those pesky semantics. I pray that you are never in front of a jury of your peers that don’t know the difference.
