On the Line was a mixed bag for me. I liked that the show acknowledged the real world implications of someone like Holmes being resented by some on the force; seeing him as an interloper and the embodiment of a criticism of their ability to resolve cases. Shows like House and The Mentalist have dealt with similar circumstances so it was no surprise to see this element explored, but I liked how various facets of the issue were examined. (Exceptions being made for someone exceptional, to use Holme's phrase.)
I thought the pacing was kind of off on the episode with the resolution feeling perfunctory. The protagonists had been aware that some time passed between the disappearance of the victims and the eventual discovery of their bodies so the revelation that a location was needed as it related to the studio felt a little forced.
Not a bad episode by any means, just a little off for me.
