The Red Line

The problem I had with this show is that it approached a serious topic as if it was a soap opera. Fraught with the appropriate emotions but lacking in depth. It will do well with those already in the choir but it should have attempted to reach a wider audience. Serious themes: White Cop on unarmed Black killings; corruption at City Hall; Children given up at birth; Gay relationships; Police stress; Police tribalism, are all touched on but too superficially. It looks like a pilot for a series. A series I won't be watching.
