Life

I loved this show although i never saw it on tv, just on HULU. I agree that the show should have had more time. At least they were not abruptly cut off, they had a chance to finish off the story line in a pretty interesting way. The show was too odd to me a mainstream hit and too normal to be an underground hit. Just enjoy the series, nothing lasts forever and at least it didn't fade out into pure crap like most cop shows.

Wow NBC must be run by morons who are to old to count to 10. This was the only show I would ever watch on TV. Its true what they say about NBC. Old school has control. This is so lame >.>

NBC has shown us time and time again that they have idiots running that station.
I wish LIfe had had enough buzz like CHuck did.
Life and Chuck were the only 2 shows I watched on NBC Now I only watch CHUCK.
Bringing back life would be a big plus for NBC. They need to advetise well for it.
I wish it would have come back. ANd they could just start from where they left off at.
Or USA should pick it up. Seems like USA does a good job on advertising what they got and they stick around for a long time there.
BRING BACK LIFE!!!! See 2 other replies

This is one of the best human dramas I have watched on TV for years. After growing up with Mannix, Cannon, Magnum PI, Hunter, etc, etc... All I can say is that this show is interesting and wish the network would consider bringing it back.

In reading reviews & discussions, it seems that HULU has turned many on to this program that missed it while it was being aired.

If brought back I won't make that mistake again!

So, as for season 3:

It's clear that had season 3 been allowed to live, we would have seen that Roman got killed but the following would need to be kept as a secret till season 3.

a. We would have been left hanging over Jack Reese's death

b. We would have been left hanging over the other question marks over the 5 mob bosses.

c. We would see a more detailed look at how Dunn (the boss that was mysteriously killed) was killed and why.

d. We would learn more about the Bank of LA robbery and how it was pulled off.

e. Possibly Rayborn would need to be confronted again since he got away and now has leverage on the new captain Seever. :p

f. We would see more of Bodner and possibly more about how the FBI was corrupted by the Mob.

g. We'd seen more of Rachel Seybolt again since Roman is dead. My guess is that this would be necessary unless Ted and Olivia were brought back to live above the garage??

h. We STILL never learned who set jack up to take the fall for the Seybolt murders. (WHICH WAS THE POINT OF ALL THIS OMG) The explaination that Rayborn gives (that is was all a big mistake) doesn't make sense. It's a nice and tidy clean up of the series, but it doesn't fit with either season 1 or season 2. Someone from INSIDE the police department had set Crews up to take the fall for the Seybolt murders. Who and why? That is was all a big mistake doesn't fit with what we were being led to belive all season long.

I doubt that the season will be brought back, but It was fun while it lasted.

Anyway these are some of my thoughts and comments.
:)

6. The love affair between Reese and the Captain was weird (and frankly a little twisted), however, it wasn't completely out of character and by the second half of the season it works out beautifully.

7. The Zen aspect of Crews and his jail-time experiences were lost in the first half of the season but brought back towards the very end of the season. This is a shame since it was THE defining attributes of the main character. The loss or minimization of these aspects of Crews simply turns the series into poor imitation of CSI by mid season. The main concept of this show is about how Crews, a jailed police officer, handles life on the beat. I thought it was a little weak in season 1, but it had vaporized by season 2. I bit of shame really.

8. Adam Arkin's character (Ted Early) is great throughout. They do a good job weaving Ted into the main story quite often and believably. Ditto for Stark.

9. I thought Detective Seever (Gabrielle Union) was great in the later half of the series. I still wonder what the intention was for her in season 3? She got a promotion.... Maybe the new Captain?

10. The last episode rushed the plot quite a bit. I believe they knew the show was going to be cancelled by the last episode because they try to clean up a lot of loose ends in the last show. For instance we learn that Jack Reese was simply killed by Roman (nicely cleaned up without any explanations). We also learn that Rayborn was grooming Crews to be a Mob boss, etc. etc. which means that we don't really need to know about the other ??? on the wall.... All nice and neat. Unfortunately it comes very fast and very late in the game. I believe they didn't want to reveal all of this in the last episode, but had too because season 3 was getting cancelled.

I just watched the whole thing from season 1 to the end of season 2.

Both me and my wife watched together, but someone on these forums mentioned that season 2 was a waste of time to watch. My wife read it and didn't really pay attention much to season 2 but I finished the whole thing anyway.

Anyway a few comments to make about season 2:

1. Season 2 started off with a very different "feel" than season 1. I think it was the character played by Donal Logue (the captain). His presence as an actor is much more strongly felt than the old captain. In the beginning hes overpowering, but he fits in the end.

2. The writers focus too much on the 'womanizing' aspect of the new captain early on in the season which (i think) turned off the women viewers. Later in the season it was a topic put on the back burner.

3. The first half of season 2 gets progressively worse until about epidsode 12 ("trapdoor") at which point the season gets much better.

4. The middle part of season 2 ("badge bunny" through "canyon flowers") is the absolute worst part of the season. I don't know who wrote those episodes but I hope they were fired. j/k

5. The love affairs between Charlie Crews and his ex-wife are both ridiculous and contrived. It's completely out-of-phase from season 1 and it was a clear that the writers didn't know what to do with Jennifer Siebel. I'm glad that this plot twist completely disappeared by the latter half of the season.
