Like some other viewers, I never had a desire to watch Life when it originally aired on NBC. I remember Damian Lewis from Steven King's Dream Catcher - not sure if that's why I decided not to watch. But if I had watched it then, I probably wouldn't have "gotten it" because I wasn't familiar with Zen to the degree that I am now. Despite the fact that it would be great to see more of this show, I think the two seasons were enough to do what this show set out to do. I'll leave it to the viewer to decide what that is.
