Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for crime-drama fans. If you loved Power Book IV: Force, start here.
The mood
Dark and gritty.
The pace
One season: easy to finish in a weekend or two, episodes of about 45 minutes, about 6 hours in all.
What might put you off
Nothing much for most grown-ups.

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.
