    Thanks but no thanks to Adam Arkin for the political lecture. hide show

    Until today's episode Life was one of my favorite shows. However this episode crosses the line between entertainment and political browbeating. This is the first step towards jumping the proverbial shark and I would strongly suggest that the producers of this show return to what made this show one of the best on television. Pick a good story, fill it with excellent music and adda few twists and turns.

    Allowing Adam Arkin to force his political views down my throat is hopefully a one-time thing so I can continue to watch and enjoy this show. If I want political bias, I will watch the news.

    Seeing as there is no overview ill write one: When a solider is murdered whilst on shore leave, Crews and Bobby investigate the soldiers that are on leave with the murder victim and the link to a company they are moonlighting for... hide show

    The show is awesome i love the fact that there is an underlying story and the investigations on top, the chemistry between the straight down the line female Reese and the quirky and lovable Crews is astounding, its gripping, smart and most of all keeps you guessing not like the predictable trash that tumbles through our televisions like a junkies dryer... bring back the good shows and hopefully life has a good 2 more seasons left at least, watch out for the calls to reese and that foot stomping thats a new favorite of mine, the addition this season of Donal Logue is excellent, also i am in love with Sarah Shahi.. just quietly

    Another great episode of Life. hide show

    Every week, Life delivers us another great story, more tantalizing snippets of information to move the story arc along and lots of great character development and interaction. This episode was no exception. It certainly did not disappoint. The main story about the soldiers had plenty of twists and turns in it and remained interesting without being confusing. Dani wasn't in it much but her brief scenes were important for the main story arc. There were some entertaining bits of banter between Charlie and Kevin Tidwell too. I also enjoyed Charlie's confrontation with Amanda Puryer. Overall, high quality drama as always.
