As Miss Shahi already showed on The L Word, she is perfectly capable to do the splits between drama and comedy, which she further exercises on her new show Life. In the role of Det. Dani Reese she again shows her true potential on winning the audience not solely by looks but first and foremost by an honest and in every way believable performance. Equipped with those skills Miss Shahi has the best preconditions for a long and aspiring career not only on television but maybe someday on the big screen. However, in my opinion she should stick with television, at least for the time being: This way we have a weekly pleasure to look forward to!!!!

Love her very much in The L Word, as she did a very wonderful job as Carmen in the show. Hot, beautiful, charming and talented. Should have been a bigger star than she is now. Hope to see her more in near future. She deserves a successful acting career.

Oh Sarah, please come back to The L Word. We Sharmen fans miss you very much.

Sarah Shahi lights up the screen with her beautiful smile and her puppy look.

She certanly is talented and gorgeous looking and is an asset to The "L" Word Show.

She seems to be easy going and makes the viewing of the show a pleasurable experience.

Also her portray of Carmen de la Pica is very convincing and she even looks tomboyish at times!

Sarah Shahi is probably one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen. When I first saw her on the L Word, I couldn't believe how stunning she was. What's more, she has taken her role as Carmen and proved what an outstanding actress she is as well. Watch out, world! I'm sure we'll be seeing Ms. Shahi for many years to come!
