Crossing Lines (2013–2015)
8/10
Genuinely surprised - It certainly crosses the lines like the title suggests
23 September 2014
There are moments when you can say you have seen it all on television. There is the bad guy and the good superhero, and it does not always have to relate to the comics. Crossing Lines present the similar analogy with a single exception. The people that are supposed to be good are mixed up with some bad.

There are other series that alter the goody-goody character by painting them with shades of gray, but what makes Crossing Lines unique is its ability to capture them on a real level. These are human beings and not actors reading lines giving an excellent performance or strangers coming together to work on a project. Every cop has experienced some kind of loss or personal growth in one season that other series do in five.

This is a series about police work, justice and truth to mention the least of how far anyone can cross the lines. We have a character that had lost faith only to find a purpose, another that seems invincible but has suffered a crippling loss that humanizes him and other characters worth exploring for future foundation.

The revelation of each individual life plays out as if you started your first job and you are faced with what seems to the most tedious task of learning about everyone. On the first day rarely do you know the deepest part of a person's heart and what motivates them. That alone takes time to develop, like trust. Patience plays an important role when it comes to development as it would anywhere. So from time to time in Crossing Lines, they meet their day to day cases, that opens up a perspective of the world any series before could not cross or reach. This series is worth a watch and repeat. It would be shocking to discover how thirsty you become for another episode after the first season closes. The mushy mushy scenes happen, but they exist as it does in reality. This one must not slip through your fingers.
