Life Sentence

I watched this show after Riverdale last night and i must say i was impressed by how touching the show actually is i love Lucy hale and she truly shines on this shes charming likeable and super sweet i laughed out loud several times and cant wait to see next week a true winner of a show no doubt

This was a good show. It was a little much on the drama front and not in a good way (but what CW show isn't?). I had incredibly high hopes after the first episode. The biggest reason why is because I think it's such a fresh and interesting concept. If they had gone in some different directions, I think they definitely would've made it.

The characters were incredibly likeable, but part of the problem was that some performances truly shined, while others fell short entirely. They were great in their roles. The music is FANTASTIC. I cannot express enough how much I love the soundtrack to this show.

While it didn't make it, I think it's worth the watch if you have nothing better to do. Just be prepared. What's on Netflix is all you get.

I was really confused as to if i would like this show or not when i first watched it but let me say not soon after the begining of the show i had fell in love with lucy hale and her character shes sweet funny charming and bubbly just a cute character in general and the show is packed with laughs and heart it dosent seem to fit well coming on after riverdale but it was sweet and i reccomend trying it

I adore Lucy Hale, even before anyone had ever heard of Pretty Little Liars I've been a fan so it goes without saying that I was going to give this show a chance. However with that said, Life Sentence is a pretty good little show in its own right for a first outing. You have to wonder, whatever your disease of choice, you effectively put your life on hold, for years possibly, and told you're near certainly going to die. Then against all odds...you don't. Then what do you do? Did you bother with much of an actual life - not just the highlights - because you didn't expect to have one? Do you find out just what kind of sacrifices were made on your behalf? This show attempts to answer those questions and so far, admittedly on the pilot episode, it was a fun outing...

That being said, I really thought what Stella's family really is like and the sacrifices and facade they've made for her should've been teased out over the next few/several as things felt a bit rushed. They also made sure to check just about every box on the PC checklist now a days with your recreational drugs, stoner family member, kids to soon and sexual orientation and marriage that's falling apart (as opposed to a strong loving marriage but guess that's not PC...). Regardless I have to give a shout out to how minorities are portrayed in the episode, as just people just like anyone else. They're not portrayed as ethnic, eccentric or stereotyped and a particular shout out to Sadie the young black female cancer patient Stella relates to late in the episode as it could've easily been just a pretty generic white girl but yes regardless of race or color we all come down with things, even minorities... About the only thing not checked was Stella's college professor of a father having a relationship on the side with one of his students young enough to be his daughter (but it was only the first episode...).

So I'd give it a seven to an eight out of ten and we'll see where it goes...

This is more drama than comedy. i saw many movies about cancer but none about life after cancer. so this is refreshing and good. i saw 3 episodes. and a lot happened in 3 episodes. generally i dont see that much happen in tv series in such sshort span. its actually movin g forward pretty well. main lead is likable. also supporting characters too. how they cope with every thing they sacrificed to help her through cancer. i also see plot thickening how the desicions made while yo u were dying is not exactly sure for living. and so on........waiting for next episodes. give it a shot.
