	Author	Review
United States	Daniel D'Addario Variety	"In all, 'The Red Line' harnesses the power of simple storytelling calibrated towards the masses to probe painful social concerns, and to potentially change hearts and minds."	POS
United States	Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"Authentic and impactful (...) After just one episode of 'The Red Line,' we care about these people, we care about what happens to them, and we feel their pain and their triumphs (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Kristen Baldwin Entertainment Weekly	"Despite a strong performance from Noah Wyle, 'The Red Line' allows its vigorous messaging to overwhelm the storytelling."	NEU
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"Decent-not-great, but still — more like this, please! (...) [It is] the kind of show I wish broadcast networks had the guts to do more frequently."	POS
United States	Matt Zoller Seitz Vulture	"Turns out 'The Wire' meets 'This Is Us' is a rather satisfying sweet spot (...) The central performances are so strong that you might sign on for the duration"	POS
United States	John Anderson The Wall Street Journal	"[It] is melodrama at its worst"	NEG
