Premieres Wednesday, Sept. 26th
NBC 10/9c

Detective Charlie Crews has spent years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit. Now Crews must face the world that he left behind and that left him behind. Dealing with the changes that occurred while he was away, and while trying to put the past behind him, Charlie returns to the job he loves. But it’s not going to be an easy return as Charlie is partnered up with a jaded detective, Dani Reese. With Charlie’s new take on life, and his new insight into the little things, Charlie gains a new view on crime as he strives to get back the life he once led.

He's a cool guy Damian Lewis. I hope it works
out for him. I usually always like cop shows so
I might just have to give it a look.

I like cop shows, too. I'm looking forward to this. Hope it's good.

Certainly sounds like it has potential!

I rented the "NBC Fall Preview" DVD, now available (for free) at Blockbuster Video, and I most enjoyed the pilot for "Life". It was fresh, intriguing, funny, suspenseful, well-cast; plus, it included some alt. rock music in several scenes which I really enjoyed! Damian Lewis (who plays Det. Charlie Crews) is an amazing actor in his own right, and he definitely brings the goods for this show. He combines several different emotions into one character, and yet they all click. He gives the impression of a man who is trying to preserve his sanity (after being locked-up for 12 years for a crime he didn't commit) by quoting lines from his favorite book "The Path to Zen" and by cracking jokes and appearing laid-back & easy-going. Yet, Lewis just as aptly shows a side to Crews who takes his job at being a good cop very seriously, and who is very intent upon tracking down the person/people responsible for setting him up to go to prison. These two sides to his character make me want to continue to tune in, as I'll be excited to see which one rears its head from situation to situation. Personally, I loved the scenes in which we see Lewis kicking ass and/or being quietly intense - reminding me of why I loved him as Major Winters in Band of Brothers. Lewis is able to command one's attention with the most subtle of expressions or gestures - much like Steve McQueen or Gary Cooper. I also think that he and Sarah Shahi (as Lewis' partner, Dani Reese) had terrifc chemistry & I'll be watching for where their relationship may lead. If anything, they may be able to help each other deal with the skeletons in both of their closets. I hope people give "Life" a chance. I, for one, am obviously already a fan!

I got a chance to watch this yesterday, I thought it was great. Looking forward to seeing more of this show.

Quote:

Created by filmmakers Rand Ravich and Far Shariat, Life is an interesting departure from the standard police procedural, giving us a character who may have been ‘de-habilitated' to some degree. Crews forces his way back onto the force and finds a skeptical department waiting for him, including a cautious partner played by Sarah Shahi. Robin Weigert plays the Lieutenant tasked with overseeing the controversial Crews.

Did anyone watch this last night? What did you think?

Robert_DarkFall · 10-04-2007, 01:27 PM

I think it's a great show! I hope it succeeds. I just have a hard time with it and JourneyMan because they are on at 9:00 and I have to wake up at 4:00am for work.

So yeah, as much as I like the shows - I'm really struggling to keep my eyes open through them sometimes! But I don't want the time changed - they work perfectly with some of my other shows. (no time conflicts)

LOL I just have to not let myself relax too much when I'm watching Life and JourneyMan.
