Life
Quirky, intelligent, thought provoking, thrilling... Just a few of the buzzwords that have surrounded one of NBC's most successful and acclaimed new crime dramas - Life.
Premiering to more than 10 million viewers and rave reviews, Life has recently make its UK debut on ITV3, where it has received glowing praise for being a wholly original take on crime drama; more akin to House than CSI. Life will be released on DVD courtesy of Universal Playback on 2nd February 2009.
Life follows Detective Charlie Crews (Damien Lewis) who, in 2007, was released from jail after serving twelve years of a life sentence for a murder he never committed.
Having lost his job, his wife, his friends and his contact with the outside world and reality, he emerges with an enthusiasm for Zen Buddhism, a passion for fresh fruit and an obsession with solving the murder and conspiracy that nearly lost him his life and freedom.
partnered with Dani Reese (Sarah Shahi) a narcotics agent who has fallen from grace, Crews must face the day to day challenge of being a cop and an ex con, all while trying to unravel the conspiracy behind his incarceration; struggling between his commitment to Zen teachings and his overwhelming desire for revenge.
Currently one of the hottest properties in entertainment, Damien Lewis' zany British sex appeal has earned him a legion of female admirers across America, much like Hugh Laurie in House.
Led by Lewis' critically acclaimed, quirky and offbeat Charlie Crews, Life is a refreshing, thrilling and unique new series that will intrigue and exhilarate, right until the final piece of the puzzle is solved. If you loved House you will love Life.
