Season 1 Review: The drama ultimately arrives at the destination you knew it would right from the opening moments. By trying to tell everyone’s story, “The Red Line” forgets to tell one good one. Read full review

Season 1 Review: This unconventional broken family's anguish and desire for retribution against a rigged system would suffice for a gripping drama with plenty of social relevance. But The Red Line stacks the deck by introducing a third protagonist. [29 Apr - 12 May 2019, p.10]
