Why to Watch
Line of Fire offers a different spin on the traditional law-enforcement procedural by putting an entire family at the center of the story. With relatives working for different federal agencies, professional disagreements can become family disagreements — especially when they are all pulled into the same deadly conspiracy. Peter Krause’s return to television is another major reason to keep an eye on the series.
