Explained simply
US broadcast dramas are often ordered in stages, with a network initially commissioning a set number of episodes and adding more if a series performs well. An 18-episode first season is a substantial run for a new network drama.
Line Of Fire centres on a family whose members work in federal law enforcement, investigating cases that can involve several US agencies. Peter Krause and Hope Davis lead the cast, and the story follows the family’s work as well as conflicts in their professional and personal lives.
