Charlie is a solid family man and a committed cop, but also profoundly corrupt. After his beloved partner is killed in the line of duty, he is paired with Elaine, a difficult personality with a troubled past who is also incorruptible.

4. Independent Lens – Monday, May 7, 10 p.m., KCTS; Tuesday, May 8, 8 p.m., WTVS

Tensions were running high in 2016, when protestors railing against the treatment of two men convicted of federal land arson locked horns with federal authorities at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon. In short order, it became a national media spectacle, one which lasted for 41 days and ultimately ended in blood. “By living with the characters in No Man’s Land,” director David Byars told The Hollywood Reporter, “audiences will walk a mile in the shoes of those whose ideologies they perhaps oppose at their very core, but come away with a deep recognition of common humanity.”
