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.

There's much here to suggest that, if everyone relaxes a little, good things will come.

Against the Wall is not nearly as ambitious as "Chicago Code" was but there's a warmth to the characters and their relationships that should satisfy Lifetime's core audience.

Against the Wall has little ambition.

Is it too much to ask the self-proclaimed Television for Women network to create a strong female cop lead? Instead we get Abby Kowalski (The Glades' Rachael Carpani, who deserves better than this), an oh-so-cutely klutzy (oops--she walked into a pile of cans at the market!) internal-affairs detective who, even at age 30, is disturbingly trying to impress her cop daddy (Treat Williams).

Unfortunately, star Rachael Carpani's Abby Kowalski is the least interesting character in a not especially galvanizing show--no further investigation required.

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.

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.
