Before CBS' drama 'The Red Line' premieres, here are five other shows that explore race

While the series is still a month away from the premiere, we have compiled a list of shows like 'The Red Line' that tackle issues of race and socio-political environment
PUBLISHED MAR 28, 2019

CBS' latest drama on race 'The Red Line' is due to premiere on April 28, where the channel will release the eight-episode event series over a span of four weeks.

'The Red Line' begins with the wrongful shooting of an African American doctor by a Caucasian Chicago police officer after a convenience store robbery goes awry. The story then follows three different Chicago families connected by this tragedy in a journey towards hope against hope, healing and forgiveness.

While the series is still a month away from the premiere, we compiled a list of shows like 'The Red Line' that tackle issues of race and socio-political environment:

Shots Fired 

 



 

 

Fox's American drama television miniseries stars Stephan James as DOJ lawyer Preston Terry and Sanaa Lathan as Ashe Akino, a DOJ expert investigator. Through a thrilling, fast-paced, earnest and at times overwhelming storyline, 'Shots Fired' tackles race relations in a handsomely directed manner. While the show itself has received mixed reviews, it gets brownie points for interesting characters (especially women), timeliness, and its ambitious vision.

We rate: 3.5/5
