NBC debuts “Line of Fire,” a new law-enforcement drama starring Peter Krause and Hope Davis. Created by Joshua Safran, the series is described as being loosely based on executive producer Jenna Bush Hager’s experiences with the U.S. Secret Service. Reviews characterize the show as engaging and promising, with a focus on both procedural elements and family relationships.
Across outlets, the core premise centers on the Hollingsworth clan, whose members work across multiple U.S. federal law-enforcement agencies. The series includes roles connected to the Secret Service, the FBI, the U.S. Marshals, and the Department of Justice. One outlet frames the show primarily as a procedural that aims to build a loyal audience, while another emphasizes the tone—describing it as “silly” but still watchable—highlighting how the family-drama approach shapes the way investigations and law-enforcement work are portrayed.
