Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
Amigalander If you enjoy intelligent, witty drama with characters you can relate to then you'll love this. It has the highest rewatch value of any show I've ever seen!
spokanegolfer I just finished binge watching on Netflix. How is it that I've never heard of this TV series?? The show is/was wonderful! I would gladly watch another 12 seasons! Please note, the following possibly contains spoilers!! The show is about an easy going police homicide detective that is great at what he does. No fear, doesn't take crap off anyone, yet is calm and respectful of others! The detective has been wrongfully accused of killing a family. In addition to being a police detective, he owns a bar with a partner. This partner is the family that he is accused of killing. The first season is devoted to clearing his name and finding the real killer. Very sad the police did not investigate and chose to believe that he did it! The second season is largely devoted to figuring out why they did it!
Robert W. Anderson I was every episode of this show while it was running on NBC; and I've since bought bought the the two seasons of the show on iTunes. I've all the episodes a few more times over the years; and it hasn't lost any of it's original appeal. In the last five to ten years NBC has been making terrible programing decision; which is demonstrated by their terrible ratings numbers on nearly every time period of nearly every day of the week. This was an excellent show; with a great cast, turning in great performances, helped by excellent writing. Damian Lewis and Sarah Shahi bring to life two quirky and fun characters. Damian playing man deeply affected by the years he spent in spent being brutalized while serving time for a crime he didn't commit. Add to his problems, the problems of Sarah's character who has burned many bridges on her job with the LAPD; and is stuck with Crews (Damian's character). They are backed up by a very deep and excellent ing cast. Adam Arkin doesn't get a lot of screen time but adds a great deal to the series. Other ing characters include Donal Logue ("Terrers", "The Knights of Prosperiety", etc.) who s the show half way through the first season as Crews shift commander. And those are just a few of the of this wonderful cast. Each episode was a new a new case; but there were a few on-going story lines that were woven into various episodes; that involved Crews looking the men that helped him get convicted and put in prison, his discovery of a many of the new things (small cell phones, flat s, and many other new bits of technology and pop culture) that he has not seen before and has to get used to, his interests in new cars, his use of Zen to help him survive jail and survive the outside world. I won't go into details of episode story lines; but suffice to say this is a fun, moving, and some times gripping series. This is a show that should have lasted at least five seasons. NBC didn't bother to publicize this show anywhere near enough; and didn't give it enough time on a specific day at a specific time for this show to gain an audience. This is a smart, fun, cop drama that I can't imagine anyone, who gives it a chance, could possibly dislike. You can get all the episodes for a reasonable price on iTunes; it's a great return for your entertainment dollars. If your reading this, take my advice look this show up on iTunes and check out the previews, and buy yourself a season. Once you do; you'll be sorry there's only one more season to come by. I'd give it 15 stars if I could!!!
gonzoville This is one of those shows you watch and have to ask: "Why was this thing canceled?" Great writing, directing, acting and casting. It was a pretty flawless show. Even the secondary characters, like Crews' old partner "Stark", are well rounded and interesting, Everyone has a back-story, and the bad guys are seriously bad.The weekly crimes were well done. Not quite up to "Columbo" standards, but interesting enough to carry. The ongoing conspiracy investigation of who set Crews up threads its way into the show - sometimes just a few minutes, sometimes a third of the episode. An ongoing theme is that "everything is connected" - and this shows up in the conspiracy. People aren't always what they appear and sometimes people run into during the investigation of the weekly crime turn out to be factors in the bigger story.My hunch is that this show was canceled because it was too smart for it's own good. Or maybe not violent enough. There is violence, but it's not the focus of the scripts. When it ended the conspiracy was only half solved. It could have easily gone on for another couple seasons."Life" is on Netflix now and it's worth spending a weekend watching it as a marathon.
