The Red Line

A heart-in-your-throat drama, Red Line begins with the mistaken shooting of a black doctor at the hands of a white cop and unfolds from the perspective of each of the families connected to the tragedy. It's a then-and-now meets us-and-them tale about the often-personal politics of crime.
This just didn't meet the mark. The performances were uneven. The editing was sloppy. The premise was interesting but it could have been executed in 4 episodes with better writers, some better casting choices (Jira is the linchpin of this story and the young actress, or the direction she was given, didn't live up to the challenge). I give this series a 5 (meh) out of 10. [Political/Crime Drama]
