| Against the Wall | comment |
Against The Wall is an American crime show that premiered on Lifetime in July 2011. It follows Det. Abby Kowalski (Rachel Carpani) as she breaks from her family policing tradition to join the Internal Affairs Division of the Chicago Police Department, and the turmoil that brings to her life plays out alongside the her investigation of the Mystery of the Week. Key characters include the heavily-pregnant Detective Lina Flores, her partner at IA, and the rest of the Kowalski family including father Don Kowalski and older brothers Richie, Steve and Donnie Kowalski (all beat cops).Compare to Blue Bloods, a show with a similar concept set in New York. | |

"Well Done, Son" Guy | |
| Against the Wall / int_1779f10e | comment |
"Well Done, Son" Guy: Lampshaded in the first episode by Abby's mother, and a major part of Abby's angst regarding her taking the Internal Affairs job. Then later in another episode it's a case of "Well Done, Son" Guy as her older brother, Donnie, is portrayed as constantly seeking his father's approval and pride. | |

Religious Bruiser: Don and Shelia are both portrayed as devout Catholics, but with Don being a cop, he isn't afraid to throw down against some of the bad guys. Shelia herself pulled a gun on a gangbanger who had come to harass her and her former gang-related employee, whom she hired as a favor to a Nun friend of theirs. | |
