Life stops

by Oline H. Cogdill

September 27th, 2009

DamianLewis2Life was the most underappreciated and overlooked cop show on TV.

It’s almost met the ax twice – once because of the writers’ strike and once because of low ratings. It was to have been reprieved again for this new season, but in August finally met its end.

The third time wasn’t the charm to resuscitate Life.

  Life starred Damian Lewis as Charlie Crews, a cop who was sentenced to prison for a murder he didn’t commit. With an unfathomable settlement of millions of dollars, Crews was released and returns to the force.

While he continued to try to find out why he was framed for murder, the real pleasure of this show was watching as Lewis pulled Crews into a Zenlike approach to solving crimes.

Crews’ calmness hide a rage that he constantly battled.

While other cop shows used technology, crime scene investigation and the friction between the police and lawyers, Life took a cerebral approach.

  The solid cast included Lewis, a Golden Globe nominee for Band of Brothers;  Sarah Shahi (Rush Hour 3) as Dani Reese, Charlie’s partner; and Adam Arkin (Chicago Hope) as Crew’s former cellmate Ted Earley.

Life will be missed.
