Procedurals show plug: "Life" is absolutely delightful. It's a solid procedural with a running backstory unspooling about how the lead character, a cop, was convicted of a crime, then freed when, presumably, he was found not guilty. He keeps investigating the unknown circumstances of his own case while going about his job. Now, I missed the first few eps, so I'm not sure how much I don't know because I missed it, or how much we just don't know yet. We know that he got a huge settlement, that his lawyer is a beautiful woman, that one of the terms is that he stay away from the accusing/now retired cop who help convict him. We know and he and his best pal from prison played by Adam Arkin (who is funny, and good) are living in the LA Hills and ... uh, you know what, just go here: [link] There isn't much else out there about this show (admittedly quick Google search.)
The thing about it is that it has some really great writing. Some of the lines Charlies delivers are just so... GOOD and funny, and he delivers them with the right amount of underplayed and zingy. I love this show.
[link] It's not doing so well in the rating, and I really want this show to stick around. Go check it out, PLEASE!!
