TV show description:
An action crime drama, this series taps into a unit mandated by the International Criminal Court (ICC) to investigate cross-border crimes, ultimately bringing global criminals to justice. Set in the world’s most exotic locales, an elite team of eager cops work to solve notorious international crimes.
Through globalization, many countries have been opened and barriers removed to ensure easy trade, travel and cultural diversity. However, this openness has given opportunities to criminals looking to exploit the system and ultimately threaten our global safety. As Europe has become a “safe house” for criminals eluding law enforcers, a special kind of law enforcement team is needed to handle specific ongoing crimes on a global level.
This show follows one such team, made up of five international cops, headed by Captain Louis Daniel (Marc Lavoine). The team — comprised of individuals who have little in common – must learn to live and work under the most dangerous and potentially deadly conditions. Housed in an unused storage section underneath the ICC, this mismatched team faces bureaucratic, jurisdictional and cultural obstacles while traversing continents in pursuit of justice.
Carl Hickman (William Fichtner) is a wounded New York cop who was pulled from the edge by a group of unlikely saviors. Michel Dorn (Donald Sutherland) is an inspector in the International Criminal Court.
Others on the team are Europol sergeant Eva Vittoria (Gabriella Pession), French detective and criminal analyst Anne-Marie San (Moon Dailly), Irish detective Tommy McConnel (Richard Flood) and Berlin police officer Sebastian Berger (Tom Wlaschiha).

What do you think? Do you like the Crossing Lines TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for another season?
I love it…hope it stays
renew, renew, renew!!!!
I love this show. Please don’t cancel this show!! It’s the best.
Crossing Lines is the coolest show since Mission Impossible! It has violence (though unlike Criminal Minds, it doesn’t sadistically revel in the victims’ suffering), but, like Person of Interest, the plots are premised on brainy people using brainy instruments to foil brainy crooks. You also have the glamor of the European settings (bullet trains!), multiple locales—even New York City or Las Vegas gets small after many seasons—and film noir lighting, along with a cast of character faces and diverse dialects. Yes, it’s comic -book action-fantasy and it’s still finding its voice, but it’s the smartest thing playing in a summer… Read more »
I love this show. For me it is in another league in comparison with the rest of the programs that are offered. William Fichtner is an excellent actor…..he doesn’t have to say much, just watch his face. Plus Donald Sutherland and the rest of the cast are fantastic. Please keep this show and market it better ……..most people I talked to say Oh yeah I think I heard about it. It was not promoted well at all.
I really like the show. But, who were the two masked people who shot the kidnappers in the Sunday, July 21 episode? Nothing has been said about them.
Having lived many years in Europe, i really like the show and hope it won’t be cancelled.
The show is really good, but what is with the sound! some of the actors you can barely hear.. I have to rewind to hear what they are saying! Hope NBC picks it up for fall/winter!
Love the show ‘Crossing Lines’. It’s a great crime show with a great cast and I love the foreign locales. Since the demise of the ‘Law & Order’ shows, I have been waiting for NBC to come up with a new crime show I enjoy. This definitely fits the bill. I also appreciate the fact that there is not an abundance of gore! I hope this show continues!
Love this show. The scripts are great. There is sign of intelligence for sure. Love the acting and actors. The European locations are abosolutely great. Keep it coming one of the best new shows I have seen in a long time. Great job NBC!
ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS, I LOVED IT!
This series has the potential to be a real kickstarter. The characters are blooming with individual potential just waiting to be fleshed out. Sparks will fly with tension and romance in this unit. Personal vendettas will clash with the holistic ICC missions. This could be great; the casting is well done and so far the scripts seem solid. Since its only aired twice, I can’t get a grasp on whether or not it will reach a wide audience, but I find myself personally rooting for this unlikely team. Plus, I have the mad hots for Fitchner…
I really like the show!
Love the show
It’s an interesting concept. Liked the first episode will watch it.
This is a well written show. There are very few. I just found this show on Netflix.
I love that it moves fast and makes sense. NBC has enough shows for dim people. They owe smart people something. We have money to buy their sponsors products.
