NBC's Life

[Tony Stark]

Has anyone seen this show?

Life is about Charlie Crews, a former police officer who was arrested for the murder of three people and put away for life. Due to DNA evidence found on the scene later, it was proven that he could not have done it, and in settlement of this, he was awarded 50 million dollars, and a job as a detective in the Police Department (I think in LA, but I'm not sure). He comes in contact with people from his old life and new one.

The show has some of the cliche of normal cop shows, but is a lot more fun than most of them due to the great character work they do on the show. Charlie Crews is a funny and eccentric approach to police work that I have never seen on television before. Because he has been in jails so long, he seems to know instinctively who is guilty and who is not. He also spots things normal people do not.

The show also has some interesting supporting characters. Like Detective Reese (a complete fox, by the way), Crews' partner, who was almost fired due to an addiction to some sort of drug she developed in an undercover narcotics agent. Or like his financial adviser who he met in prison, a former CEO who was arrested for white collar crime. He now lives with Crews.
