DESCRIPTION:
(from DirecTV's press release, January 2012) DirecTV's Audience Network continues to provide viewers with cutting-edge, provocative programming with the addition of two new dramas, The Slap, premiering Wednesday, Feb. 15 at 10pm ET/PT and The Shadow Line, premiering on Sunday, Feb. 19 at 9 p.m. ET/PT. Created by Hugo Black, The Shadow Line is a sophisticated conspiracy thriller in eight parts that brings to life a cinematic world of blurred morality and the conflicted characters who inhabit 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 Shadow Line explores the morality of these characters as they navigate the fine line between right and wrong. Cast includes: Chiwetel Ejiofor (American Gangster, Endgame), Christopher Eccleston (Lennon Naked, Doctor Who), Sir Antony Sher (The Wolfman, Primo, God On Trial), Stephen Rea (The Crying Game, Breakfast On Pluto), Sean Gilder (Shameless), David Schofield (The Take, Pirates Of The Caribbean), Stanley Townsend (Zen, Sherlock Holmes) and Eve Best (The King's Speech, Nurse Jackie).
