Format:DVD
The second series of 21 episodes is the last series as NBC have canceled LIFE! We can only hope for a miracle resurrection.
Damian Lewis plays fruit loving Zen disciple Detective Charlie Crews, the beautiful Sarah Shahi as Dani Reese (in real life due to her pregnancy she is temporarily replaced by Gabrielle Union as Jane Seever), and the cool Adam Arkin as his live-in friend Ted Early (he deserves more air time!). The new police boss is Donal Logue as Captain Kevin Tidwell who is really well cast but definitely needs a haircut.
Like all the good recent dramas (Dexter, The Mentalist) there is a thread running through each series that slowly gets revealed. Who were responsible for framing Crews for murder? In the second series he continues to get closer to the main protagonists in the conspiracy that may include rogue cops, FBI agents, and Russian mobsters. Maybe too close.
The series continues to be original, involving, and well acted. The highlight of each episode is the way that Crews comes up with the answers due to his alternative look on life and people. Do not miss it.

Life is a fantastic show. Damian Lewis' wonderful performance ensures that it transcends the usual cop-show routine and becomes something truly unique. Charlie Crews is a refreshing different cop and very cool in his own way. The scripts are of consistently high standard with witty dialogue and interesting characters. The new captain is a great addition to the show and his unexpected, yet ultimately convincing relationship with Dani is one of the shows little joys. I assume that the writers only found out that they wouldn't be renewed for a third season part way through producing season two as certain plot lines are seemingly abandoned (Charlies relationship with his wife for instance) as the writers concentrate on wrapping up the main story threads. It's a lovely show though with a satisfying finale. One of the best US shows of the last couple of years and well worth watching.

I've watched both series on DVD. It may not have got the viewing figures NBC wanted but that says more about the intelligence (or lack of) of the American TV watcher than it does about the quality of this programme. It's brilliant from the acting of all the main protagonists (Lewis is astonishing), to the music, to the quirky stories.
I'm not sure if a third series was needed as the loose ends were pretty much tied up. It's now a thing of beauty like Life on Mars. The final episode of series two had me enthralled from start to finish as I had no idea what was going to happen (it had the feel of a movie) and the last five or six minutes at the orange grove were breathtaking and I had to watch that section several times over as soon as I finished it because the revelation right at the end if you can call it that (I won't spoil it) had me close to tears and I had to watch it again.
You should see this. TV doesn't get any better. Take note ITV, BBC and Channel 4.

Fantastic! Buy it!
This is a brilliant piece of TV drama. Great acting and this is a good price. I wish they would make more series but I undestand that they won't be doing so.

Brilliant series, lacking sound quality...
I bought this after seeing a couple of the episodes on satellite TV (which I now know were from Series 2) and loving them. The episodes in this series are as good if not better. Read more
