Check out the world of organized crime from both sides. One side enforces the law as the other one breaks it on a daily basis. Making things even more complicated, even as they work at cross-purposes, they remain unable (and in some cases, unwilling) to completely destroy each other.

Melanie McFarland Seattle Post-Intelligencer The action's quick and dirty, the behind-the-scenes machinations simple, even if the consequences for either side end up being messy. Jan 1, 2020 Full Review Linda Stasi New York Post The plots are good, if not original, and so far they've managed to avoid the pole-dancing girl in the bikini in the nudie-bar scene, which is regulation in shows like this. Jan 1, 2020 Full Review Brian Lowry Variety It's at least a quality hour that deviates from cookie-cutter conventions. Dec 31, 2019 Full Review Brendan Bernhard L.A. Weekly Line of Fire is a terrific show to watch, and it's been directed (by Rod Lurie) with style and brio. Jan 1, 2020 Full Review Rob Owen Pittsburgh Post-Gazette There are definitely some interesting elements at play in "Line of Fire," but the series remains a work in progress that needs more time on its feet to find itself. Jan 1, 2020 Full Review David Zurawik Baltimore Sun But that kind of depth and anthropological edge - two of the very things that distinguish The Wire - seem to have been lost on creator Rod Lurie.
