The Red Line
One tragedy will connect them all
Created by Caitlin Parrish, Erica Weiss
On CBS
A tightly focused, eight-episode tragedy that uses a single act of police violence as a prism to examine the interconnected lives and moral complexity of everyone touched by it.
A heart-in-your-throat drama, Red Line begins with the mistaken shooting of a black doctor at the hands of a white cop and unfolds from the perspective of each of the families connected to the tragedy. It's a then-and-now meets us-and-them tale about the often-personal politics of crime.
