Life

Show Summary

Life is an NBC police drama about a police detective who is released from prison after serving 12 years for a crime he didn't commit. Charlie Crews (Damien Lewis) is released from Pelican Bay State Prison after DNA evidence proves he didn't murder his former business partner Tom Seyboldt and two of his immediate family members. Having lost his wife, job, friends and all contact with the outside world, Crews makes it his mission to solve the murder that cost him 12 years of his life. Crews rejoins the police department, much to the chagrin of his boss Lt. Karen Davis (Robin Weigart), who makes it her business to run him out of the department for good. Crews is partnered with Det. Dani Reese (Sarah Shahi), a recovering drug addict and alcoholic, who is battling her own demons. Crews is forced to confront various people in his past to unravel the mystery behind who framed him and why.

  • Bring Back Life

    Just watched series 1&2 brilliant, googled to see when series 3 was coming and can't believe it was made so long ago and was cancelled after 2. I love shows like this, Damien Lewis and cast are brilliant in this, on the back of Damian Lewis's recent success this show should be reinstated. Sad there is no more.

    Once more NBC has proven that they Has No Idea What A Goog Show Is. How on earth did this show not get renewed & sufficient advertising to raise iit's numbers up.

    Acutally it was a triple homicide, mom, dad and son. And he spent 12 years in prison.
  • Great show that should not have been cancelled

    Life is a one of a kind cop show that centers around a detective named Charlie Crews who was wrongfully imprisoned 10 years for a double homicide he did not commit. While he was in prison he became a Zen Master of sorts and was one with everything around him. His partner is Detective Dani Reese and she is reluctant at first to work with him, but she had no choice. As time goes on, she sees that Charlie is a great detective and starts to accept him. Charlie spends much of his time off duty running his own investigation into who framed him for murder and where the little girl of the couple he supposedly killed disappeared too. He finds many clues that tie many people together, but then realizes that there is a much larger conspiracy that he has to solve.moreless
