There is more than one protagonist on the new TV series The Red Line. There’s high school teacher Daniel Calder (Noah Wyle, ER), who’s grieving the death of his husband Harrison (Corey Reynolds), an African-American doctor who (while unarmed) was shot by a white cop on the South Side of Chicago. There’s Daniel and Harrison’s adopted daughter Jira (Aliyah Royale) who, while searching to make sense of everything, asks to meet her biological mother. Unbeknownst to her, her mother Tia Young (Emayatzy Corinealdi) is running for office. She hopes to unseat incumbent alderman Nathan Gordon.
