I know Without A Trace is not one of those buzz-worthy shows, like Heroes, but I really like this show. And they went to some dark places last season that has consequences this season.
Special Agent Jack Malone (a brilliant Anthony LaPaglia) became so obsessed with catching a child abuser that he did things that border on illegal, and pretty well against department protocol, to catch him. He did catch him, at nearly the cost of his life, and it did cost him professionally. At the beginning of this season, he is no longer in charge of his unit, but is one of the agents to investigate missing people, with a ball-busting boss played by Steven Weber.
I like this show because more than most procedurals, it gets into the emotions of the actors and deftly involves us into the personal lives of these agents. The acting by LaPaglia sets a highwater mark for procedurals. And the supporting cast is very strong. The stories many times tug on the heart-strings, as the agents unravel the last steps of the missing person.
Two of my favorite TV actresses, Poppy Montgomery and Roselyn Sanchez (and when I say favorite I mean hot) are in this show, and that does not hurt its watchability.
