‘Line of Fire’ Review: Palatable NBC Procedural Is Just Fine
Peter Krause and Hope Davis headline a network drama about a deeply-damaged family solving crimes and keeping secrets in DC The post ‘Line of Fire’ Review: Palatable NBC Procedural Is Just Fine appeared first on TheWrap .
A new NBC primetime drama called "Line of Fire" premiered on Monday, aiming to create a middle-of-the-road procedural that is not thrilling but still engaging. Created by Joshua Safran, the show stars Hope Davis and Peter Krause as a separated couple in the US Marshal and Secret Service branches, dealing with family drama while trying to keep the president and the country safe. The show follows their crime-solving adventures and family issues, including secrets about relationships and the family's background.
Despite being described as palatable and well-constructed, the show is not particularly thrilling or innovative, with some contrived elements, such as a folded silver paper origami crane at crime scenes. The acting is not particularly noteworthy, and while Hope Davis does her best with the material, the overall quality of the show does not seem to reach high levels.
"Line of Fire" could still surprise viewers and evolve into something greater than its current middle-of-the-road approach, but as of now, the reviewer remains skeptical. The show premiered on NBC and will stream on Peacock the following day.
