This TV season has been notable for ever more gruesome cop shows (Wanted, Killer Instinct) with sensationalistic stories about brutalized women and children. Close to Home, whose early episodes involve a kidnapped young woman and doe-eyed kids on the witness stand, is a softer, more accessible--if emotionally manipulative--version of the same...
