    This was such a great show!
    Life is show that is so much better than it has any business of being. That's mostly due to the terrific cast who you can tell are all having fun making this show. Life really was such an underrated show. It was a shame that NBC barely advertised it while it was on. Damian Lewis and Sarah Shahi are both terrific actors and both are at their best in this one. I know that there are a million different cop shows out there to choose from but this one was such an original, it's a shame it only lasted 2 seasons but those 2 seasons were great. It was one of the most clever, intelligent and fun shows while it was on. It's one of those rare shows where once you start watching it's hard to stop!
