Last night, on a whim, I watched the second episode of ABC's new prime-time drama Line of Fire. Billed as supposedly being one of the most intense dramas on TV, I was interested to see how it looked.
Overall, it was okay. Not particularly outstanding, but not bad either. I'm guessing it's at least as good as CSI, Law & Order, NYPD Blue, and other "good guy, bad guy" 60-minute dramas.
Perhaps the most notable aspect of the show that I can remember is that the majority of the female actors/characters are quite attractive. Although I suppose that if this is the most striking feature, then the show may not have a very long shelf life.
There is also one unconventional hook -- one of the characters (the new special agent) joined the FBI after her husband was killed in the Pentagon on September 11. I suppose it is a sign that the shock of the attacks is wearing off and becoming a part of our mainstream culture.
If you are a fan of crime/police dramas, it's probably worth watching. I doubt I'll stay up to watch it on purpose, but if I happen to see it on I wouldn't likely avoid it either.

I just started watching my recorded copy today...oly got through 15 minutes and it looks pretty decent. I have heard good things about the mob boss being wonderfully acted but I have yet to see him yet. Man I love ReplayTV
It's funny seeing a nerd/dweeb being a mob boss. The acting is good, but the shock value is a bit hard to get past.
