    Lifetime's new Against the Wall turns out to be first-rate drama. In fact, it's one of the best new shows of the year.

    If the show has the courage to probe this very contemporary evolution, Abby's tenure at IA might provide grown-up drama for women of an age more often served by sexist sitcoms. And if not, Lifetime may be delivering just another old-fashioned family drama with nothing new to say.

    Against the Wall has little ambition.

  1. Great series about a law enforcement family and issues unique to multi-generational cop families - and breaking the blue wall opposed to internal affairs. Very good acting and characters. Expand
  2. Nice, simple series about detectives. Despite it looks like a usual American crime drama, Against the wall is about choosing between family or career. Maybe a little old fashioned, but not a bad choice for family time. Expand
