While thrilled that Life has been picked up for a second season, I’m wary of the 10 p.m. Friday timeslot. Not JUST because that is when Battlestar Galactica airs (this would be a real Sophie’s Choice for me) but it seems to be a big vote of confidence from the NBC. Damien Lewis has really impressed me with his range…although I’m glad he got rid of the wide range of idiosyncrasies…one or two is enough. His performance in the finale episode is Emmy worthy. Yet I also love his partner Reese…..Lewis is the star of the show but Sarah Shahi is ever bit his equal and not the comic relief sidekick or worse the eye candy with a gun pretending to be a cop. (See the episode “Powerless” again if there are any doubts). I’m really hoping to see more of Charlie Crews’ life before he went to jail, more of the Ted (Adam Arkin) that we started to see at the end of he season, as well as how they met in prison, and I would really love see Crews going face to face with the DA over the issue of the wrongly convicted. And I couldn’t agree with you more regarding Cynthia Sommer. I really love this show but I don’t think it’s gotten the attention it deserves so I’m glad to see you have spotlighted it here.
