Line of Fire

2003–2004 · 1 season

A gritty, procedural crime drama that toggles between the FBI and the mob, offering tense, character-driven storytelling with a somber tone.

Overview: 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.
How it feels: Tense, dark, cynical and melancholic. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Crime, power, corruption, loyalty
Content: Strong violence. Mild gore, sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
