Synopsis

Welcome to the war between the FBI and organized crime. One side enforces the law as the other breaks it, but brains, brawn and intimidation are often the tools of both trades. The Richmond-based Malloy Crime Syndicate is run by Jonah Malloy, a charismatic but dangerous father figure. The Richmond FBI branch has its own dynamic leader in Special Agent-In-Charge Lisa Cohen. Like any business, they must justify operations and produce results while wrangling lieutenants who are as flawed as they are hard-working.

SoTrumpBelieve Must See Movie...
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
quincy-white When this show came on it blew my mind. It was dark, gritty, and at first better even than 24. David Paymer was a classic cold-blooded villain and Leslie Hope was great against type of her 24 character, nail-tough.In one episode, everything changed. It was when the FBI was pursuing a criminal pregnant woman, who ultimately abandoned her newborn in a dumpster. The baby was found alive and well and the episode had a warm, happy ending. No, I am no sadist who enjoys the sight of dead babies, but the whole point of a series like this is to show us what we do not want to see, along the lines of Saving Private Ryan.With each successive episode it lost its edge, the fate of so many good shows. In less than a season, really half a season, it went on the journey NYPD Blue took over the course of a decade, throwing in curse words and partial nudity to appear gritty, but really becoming all too soft. I loved the show, then I was glad to see it canceled.
dewars81 Why, why, why, why in hell do the writers have to engage in the homosexual story line. I've seen this before on a much better written and acted show, and I'm sure most will agree, "The Shield". I know it's the first episode but come on it's the same character. Agent Amiel Macarther is having sex with guys but doesn't want to admit he's gay. Hmmm certainly sounds like Julian from The Shield. So far the only difference is Amiel is white and has been in law enforcement for years, and Julian was black and a rookie. Personally I don't think this show needs to create this story line when they haven't really nailed down a main story line. I mean come on the fact that the FBI is out to get Malloy does not constitute a story line ok, that is a main theme. The only thing that they have is an undercover agent. It's been what 8 or 9 episode now and they haven't even gotten close to Malloy. So far 90% of the episodes have been far to predictable and I don't see this series last more than a year or two unless they really start to get down to brass tacks "Thats my story and I'm sticking to it"
SuperBeca Now, the advertisements for this show made me laugh. I am a college student in Richmond, Virginia. Although once the murder capital of the United States, and right now, we are currently the STD and AIDS capital, (something to really be proud of). Richmond has never experienced an underground mob, nor do we have many FBI agents wandering around. Richmond's life revolves around the three large state universities in the heart of the city. Nothing as interesting as Line Of Fire ever happens here. However, I do find myself watching each week in order to catch glimpses of places I recognize. Odd how the background of thier publicity photo is the same thing I see out of my window each day. This is my second year in Richmond and I've seen many large movies being filmed here. Never has a show stayed to be filmed in Richmond. I look forward to starsearching. ;)
624 This could develop into an interesting program. The use of Richmond as a backdrop is refreshing. The city offers locations more interesting than the housing projects of Baltimore. So far, the location scenes and the references to Richmond have been accurate. I hope this continues.Believability suffers when you see an FBI killed while standing straight up in front of a bad guy with a gun instead of going for cover. And later when, a bunch of bad guys jump out of car with guns on what should be a busy dock, but there is no one to notice.Leslie Hope as the SAC, could become one of the best female police characters currently on TV if given the chance. The female trainee agent is made to hate. I hope she becomes a more believeable character.
