    Great show, great acting

    Excellent plots, if you have missed it, catch up by watching the full episodes on line on NBC. This program deserves a strong following of viewers. Great character development and moments of humor and insights on humanity interspersed with drama, suspense and darkness. The program mixes single stories each week with on going meta stories about each of the characters pasts-especially the story of the main character Charlie Crews who was framed for a mass murder and spent twelve years in prison before he was exonerated. We learn a little more about the past stories each week as the crime of that episode is investigated and solved. Complex and captivating show.

    This was such a great show!

    Life is show that is so much better than it has any business of being. That's mostly due to the terrific cast who you can tell are all having fun making this show. Life really was such an underrated show. It was a shame that NBC barely advertised it while it was on. Damian Lewis and Sarah Shahi are both terrific actors and both are at their best in this one. I know that there are a million different cop shows out there to choose from but this one was such an original, it's a shame it only lasted 2 seasons but those 2 seasons were great. It was one of the most clever, intelligent and fun shows while it was on. It's one of those rare shows where once you start watching it's hard to stop!

    One of the best shows ever

    I first saw an episode of Life when I was on vacation in Las Vegas. I was paid ten dollars to watch an episode and give my opinion of the show. After watching the episode, I felt that I should have paid them. I love this show. Charley Crews is one of the most enjoyable characters I have seen on TV in a long time. His viewpoint is new and refreshing to this jaded TV viewer. Sarah Shahi is perfect as his partner and friend. NBC has a hit on their hands. The other networks should take a page from the writers and producers of "Life" and get rid of that so called "reality" TV shows and put on shows like "Life" that keeps you caring for the characters and coming back for more.

    What a shame.

    So sad this got cancelled. Really great spin on a cop series. I'm actually mad this only has two seasons.
