The Line: The Movie Network/Movie Central's new cop series penned by acclaimed playwright George F. Walker (Due South, This is WOnderland) is receiving the stamp of approval from critics, including The Globe and Mail's John Doyle, who says the series, starring Rob White and Daniel Kash as two morally ambiguous cops, has "plenty of panache," thought he adds that The Line gets "overheated" with all of that "anger, rage, and aggression." Alex Strachan at Canwest News Service notes that the show "burns with ambition and creative energy" while The Toronto Star's Rob Salem observes "Toronto has never looked seedier" than in the "gritty, graphic, character-driven" drama.
