The Shadow Line | comment |
The Shadow Line is a seven-part British television drama serial produced by Company Pictures/Eight Rooks Ltd/Baby Cow/CinemaNX production for BBC Two. It stars Chiwetel Ejiofor, Christopher Eccleston, Rafe Spall, Antony Sher and Stephen Rea.Drug baron Harvey Wratten is dead, and nobody knows who did it. From the cop with a bullet in his brain, whose amnesia leaves him doubtful of his own moral compass; to the drug-lord driven by a profound personal tragedy, risking it all on one last deal; to the brilliantly lethal puppet-master who gradually emerges from the shadows to bring the story to its shocking climax, the show explores the morality of these characters as they negotiate the repercussions of Wratten's death and attempt to navigate the fine line between right and wrong.It has been compared, inevitably, to The Wire, being another Grey-and-Gray Morality, Four Lines, All Waiting, cops 'n' robbers drama — however, stylistically the two shows couldn't be more different. In contrast to The Wire's verisimilitude, The Shadow Line is stylised and Noir-ish, with heavy symbolism and crafted dialogue.Broadcasting started on 5 May 2011, ended on June 16th, and the DVD is out in the UK July 14th. Not to be confused the OTHER Shadow Line. | |

Fair Cop | |
The Shadow Line / int_10a6623b | comment |
Fair Cop: Gabriel wears a suit fairly well, but Honey - played by conventionally attractive Kierston Wareing - almost seems to be going out of her way to not look attractive. This is actually common of women in male-dominated fields, including policing. | |

Trailers Always Spoil | |
The Shadow Line / int_143939c1 | comment |
Trailers Always Spoil: Gatehouse was shown in promo pictures long before he appeared in Episode 2, and is right behind Gabriel and Bede in the BBC website header. The character description refers to him as "lethal", well before he kills anyone. The iPlayer description for Episode 5 says Gatehouse finally tracks Glickman down, with explosive consequences." There is literally an explosion. Someone at the BBC thinks they're being cute. Gatehouse will also appear on the DVD cover. | |

Sherlock Scan: Gatehouse is so good he looks like a Cold Reader "psychic". He can read people who aren't saying anything. In Episode 6, Gabriel figures out Gatehouse is lying about his peaceable intent because he's still wearing gloves. Indoors. Of course, the viewers know that "Gatehouse is lying" is generally a pretty safe bet. | |

He Knows Too Much | |
The Shadow Line / int_65acf9db | comment |
He Knows Too Much: This is why Gabriel and his partner were shot, in that they came too close to discovering the true extent of police involvement with Counterpoint. Ross McGovern is killed while investigating the above, again because his investigations led him too close to Counterpoint. And deliberately invoked in episode 6 by Glickman and Gabriel. Glickman sends Gabriel to confront Commander Penney with what he knows about Counterpoint, knowing that this will prompt Penney to sent Gatehouse after Gabriel to silence him. Which is what Glickman was counting on, seeing as he wants to draw Gatehouse out so he can kill him. | |

When he lets it go the guy points out it wasn't his cat, but even if it was he doesn't know anything. The scene doesn't do much except act as an Establishing Character Moment. | |

Amnesiac Dissonance | |
The Shadow Line / int_8404a0f3 | comment |
Amnesiac Dissonance: The series hints he may have been corrupt before he was shot, in contrast to the By-the-Book Cop he is afterwards. Ultimately subverted, however: he was a good cop all along, and there turns out to be a perfectly good explanation for the apparently incriminating evidence. | |

By-the-Book Cop: The green constable accompanying Foley to a murder scene anxiously points out all the procedures he's breezily violating. Gabriel gives the impression of one, but hints emerge that he's more of a Cowboy than he lets on. Robert Beatty, though he's a by the book Customs officer rather than a cop. | |

Technically a Smile: Gabriel exhibits one of these when he and his boss go to talk to Khokar, laying out his theory of what happened. And then he drops the pretense and explodes with "But that's not what happened, is it?" as he points to the scar the bullet in his brain left, and the audience realizes he's actually furious. | |

Status Quo Is God: Gabriel is shot for digging too deep. The generation of conspirators that have gone are simply replaced by their heirs and/or killers. Couterpoint is still going, but new people are starting to ask their own questions. The only substantive change to anything is that Patterson is getting a promotion. | |

Nothing Is Scarier: Near the end of Episode 4, Ross heads home to what his boss refers to as a beautiful country cottage, where his wife is. We get some nice shots of him on his bike, riding though gorgeous countryside, and we already know Gatehouse has his address, so we know something's going to happen, and we're keyed up because of the Blatant Lies above. And then Gatehouse kills him just offscreen. Literally right on the other side of a hill from the camera. All we see is his car coming over the hill toward us with a broken mirror. | |

Realistic Diction Is Unrealistic | |
The Shadow Line / int_ce9da072 | comment |
Realistic Diction Is Unrealistic: Like everything else on the show, the dialogue is highly stylized. As this review from the Telegraph puts it; "it is unsettling that these characters, however diverse, all talk in exactly the same way. They speak in measured, perfect sentences, full of conscious metaphors about lines that can and cannot be crossed. They interact in a manner which allows each character to finish their perfectly modulated paragraph: no one interrupts; no one is inarticulate". | |

Even Joseph Bede shows some aptitude for this towards the end of the series, as he manipulates Customs in order to get them off his case long enough to finish his deal. | |

Well-Intentioned Extremist: In Episode 6, we are told that the entire "Counterpoint" scheme, according to one participant, was to get money for police pensions. The money they made was just a bonus. The fact that the money goes to police pensions also means that the police have a collective interest in the success of Counterpoint's activities thus providing Gatehouse and his core team with more protection, and leverage, than any crime syndicate could wish for. | |
