Line of Fire‘s drama remains on the right side of the divide between juicy and obnoxious. It helps that the chemistry among the ensemble is believably familiar. Go to Full Review
Marah Eakin TheWrap Sep 22, 2026
Line Of Fire could still surprise, growing into something great rather than adhering to the overly safe middle of the road, but as of right now we’re skeptical. That doesn’t mean it’s unwatchable or even bad. It’s not. It’s just not all that good, either. Go to Full Review
Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times Sep 22, 2026
Smartly, “Line of Fire” is not just about the long arc, or arcs; if the remaining eleven episodes mimic the first two, each will also offer a case to be closed in an hour. Go to Full Review

Line of Fire gives the Hollingsworths a dynamic that resonates with anyone who knows what it's like to be in a dysfunctional clan, but with a law enforecement twist. Go to Full Review

Debra D @Debbyboo 6 hrs ago Never watched Blue Bloods, but this is what I imagine the show would be like if they were all federal agents instead of police officers. First episode felt overly messy and chaotic, but the premise and cast are interesting enough to keep watching for now. See more Alan D @AlanD184 20 hrs ago I made it halfway through the second episode. Police procedurals are one of my staples; family dramas generally are not, but I thought that the idea sounded good. Perhaps the idea was good, but the writing is abysmal. The dis-functionality of the lead family is nearly tabloid level. Yet, these are the selfish, self-centered people the police procedural is built around. Also, it appears the crimes are going to be tabloid level. Maybe NBC/Peacock can build an audience watching this backstabbing family solve bizarre federal crimes, but I’m won’t be a part of it See more M S @PiqueMe 1 day ago Im a fan of this show but this one is all over the place jumping and cross pollinating agencies that the family is in. Also throwing in comedic nuances. Its just cutting it. I tried but wont be watching-after episode 2 of a series I wanted to like and enjoy. See more Jennifer B @RT46059890 1 day ago I have enjoyed the 1st 2 episodes. Excited for the rest. I am a huge fan of these kinds of shows and movies it has a very good flow about it, easy to keep up. Like my parents asking 47 times what just happened. See more Chairman O @Chairman_of_the_Bored 1 day ago Line of Failure is more like it. An improbable scenario where every member of a dysfunctional family works for the Secret Service,US Marshals, Homeland Security, DOJ, or some other branch of Federal Gov't., including a father and son working in the same DC unit of the Secret Service like it's a family business. The head writer, Joshua Safran wrote for Quantico and Gossip Girl. Apparently, Josh mashed-up rejected scripts from both series to create this mess of a show. Watching the talented cast trying to make their supposedly highly intelligent characters and ever meandering storyline believable with the dialog they were given is as entertaining as having a bandaid gradually removed for 60 minutes. A great reason to turn off your TV and pick up a book. See more brett M @bretthi 3 days ago Wanted to like it, but it was just a mess. I bailed after 20 minutes. See more Read all reviews
