AGAINST THE WALL

New series on Lifetime.

Here's one that shouldn't have made it past the pilot stage.  Story about a female detective who comes from a family of cops and takes a promotion in Internal Affairs.

Family of cops?  Isn't this Blue Bloods?

Rachel Carpani just isn't cut out to be a lead.  She doesn't hold the screen.  And the little quirks that the creators have given her - falling over things, singing in public - aren't endearing, they're annoying.

Episode ends with Rachel going out on an officer-involved homicide only to discover that the officer involved is her brother.  Like we didn't see that coming.

Show's terrible.  Pass.
