The Shadow Line
Created by Hugo Blick
On BBC Two
A taut British noir miniseries that uses a murder investigation to interrogate the moral compromises of both law enforcement and criminality, treating the investigation as a philosophical inquiry rather than a procedural puzzle.
A murder is investigated by both sides of the line, cops and criminals, using opposing methods. But the real line is the morality within each person and how far they will go before they cross it.
