A quirky drama with moments of startling originality, Life: Season One concerns Charlie Crews (Damian Lewis of Band of Brothers), a cop who spent 12 years in federal prison for murders he did not commit. Exonerated by DNA evidence, Charlie receives a multimillion-dollar settlement for his troubles and returns to his old job, though now as a detective. Cleared of the crime, Charlie still faces skepticism from his law enforcement brethren and the impatience of a new partner, Dani Reese (Sarah Shahi), a former drug addict squeezed by her superior (Robin Weigert) to find reasons to boot Charlie from the force. None of this hostility, however, compares with the terrible time Charlie experienced behind bars, where a former cop is everyone's punching bag. Charlie's sanity, saved by studying Zen methods of non-attachment, remains with him after he is released into a digital world, Charlie has a lot of catching up to do, but it is his post-prison unorthodox manner and tendency to speak without thinking that prove jarring for colleagues and crime witnesses. Still, it is easy to root for the guy and appreciate (non-attachment aside) his fondness for the good life: a mansion, fast cars, beautiful women, and lots of fresh fruit.
The pilot episode is a knockout, the kind of show featuring moments one has never seen before, such as a scene in which Charlie is forced to shoot a suspect and then talks him through an almost dream-like death. Subsequent episodes are a little uneven in quality, but the overall package is quite compelling, particularly as Charlie quietly solves the mystery of the murders for which he was blamed. Throughout, Charlie's religious transformation in prison collides with his darker impulses toward possible revenge, making Life a fascinating study in conflict. --Tom Keogh

To bad nobody watched this show. It was different, funny, and very well written. However, the fun lives on through the magic of DVD. Damien Lewis is great, Sarah Shahi is hot, they work well together, and play off each other very well. You don't have the sexual tension undetone that drives most male/female shows, which is rather refreshing. If you are looking for a twist on the traditional cop show, you've found it.

Probably the best that network has offered in more than a few years. Concise, unique, dry and as compelling as Law & Order. Music that sets a pace and all around exceptional writing and acting.
Now Life is gone.
More tasteless reality shows and Jay Leno in Primetime.
What a loss.

I ordered this DVD televison series for my husband as an anniversary present. Not only was the price great, but it was shipped promptly, and I received in excellent condition. My husband loves his gift, and I would recommend this to anyone who's husband enjoys a great television series. It's a great gift for those hard to shop for since it can be enjoyed over and over again, devoid of commercials.Life: Season One

When the Life series started on NBC, I was hooked immediately by its overall appeal: the cast of actors, the humor inserted into a serious drama, and the contiguous plot ongoing in every episode. When Season 1 was finished, mainly due to the Writers strike in Hollywood, the series didn't look like it would be coming back so I wanted to purchase Season 1 as soon as it was available. Miraculously, there was a Season 2 but NBC shot itself in the foot AGAIN and canceled Life (as well as Medium) so ... Read More
