In New York City, things seem to go wrong because of the many disappearances and killings that are constantly occurring. New York City has a special FBI unit dealing with these cases using the vast resources of their office. Now, the team led by client Jack Malone is competing against time to find realistic solutions to these issues as they compete in a narrow window of 72 hours.
Without a Trace is a slickly shot, competent series with a talented ensemble cast. It's not revolutionary or groundbreaking by any means, but it is a decent crime drama.
This is nothing to build a night around. Yet the cast is good, action is crisp, flashbacks are seamlessly interwoven and dialogue is terse and effective.
The procedural approach is catchy. There's something irresistible about a forensic drama that hooks you with hints at the ending and works backward from there. This one's for the more squeamish sleuth.
LaPaglia's grounded nobility and softly spoken charisma make him a perfect leading man for television and elevate his stock character -- an uncompromising, incorruptible boss -- to the pantheon of great TV cops.
Though Without a Trace's producers have clearly made attempts to deepen the show's characters, the show itself, while dark, stays pretty close to the surface.
