Life (2007)	comment	Life is an American crime drama television series.Officer Charlie Crews (Damian Lewis) was Wrongly Accused of murdering his business partner and his family and spent twelve years in prison before being exonerated by DNA evidence. Now, back as a detective, he's trying to figure out who actually committed the crime and why he was sent away.There are a few things notable about Life: in prison, Crews found a copy of The Path to Zen and thus, as a result of long years of (a) being in prison while (b) studying Zen philosophy on his own and (c) having the crap beaten out of him by other inmates, he has come out of prison as The Exotic Detective, a cross between a Cloudcuckoolander, a Defective Detective, and a Cowboy Cop. To top it off, Crews won a huge lawsuit against the police department (which included his reinstatement and promotion to Detective), so he's basically a crime-solving Eccentric Millionaire.Other characters include Dani Reese (Sarah Shahi) his alcoholic, ex-drug addict partner, Ted Earley (Adam Arkin) his financial advisor, roommate, and friend from prison, Constance Griffiths (Brooke Langton) his lawyer and with whom he shares Unresolved Sexual Tension, Karen Davis (Robin Weigert) his captain), Bobby Stark (Brent Sexton) his former partner from before he was convicted and Kevin Tidwell (Donal Logue) as the second season's commanding officer.Life premiered on September 26, 2007 on NBC. On May 4, 2009, NBC announced its cancellation, a month after the final episode had been aired.Not to be confused with Discovery Channel/The BBC nature documentary miniseries Life.

Considering the zen was implied to be a crutch for holding back his darkness, it seems time has allowed him to put some of the darkness behind him. By the end of the series he's genuinely quirky rather than possibly crazy.

Life (2007) / int_3ed23024	type	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
Life (2007) / int_3ed23024	comment	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: As Charlie's old partner, Bobby was a pariah for several years once Charlie was convicted. He doesn't hold it against Charlie, but his wife does. Charlie's ex-wife moved on while Charlie was in prison, and she isn't particularly keen on so much as being friends with him again, let alone restarting their relationship. The lead detective on Charlie's case doesn't believe Charlie's innocence, even with the DNA tests. For one, he was the one who did all the investigating and formed a case that everyone thought was true for over a decade, only to have it busted by some miracle new invention that he doesn't believe in- and for two, who'd want to admit that they were wrong and sent the wrong guy to prison for over a decade? The police really aren't keen on having Charlie back in the force, given that he's walking proof that they fucked up, and also because they view him as unstable and a potential liability, hence why he gets his new partner straight from their shit list. In addition, multiple characters question why the hell Charlie even wanted his job back- after all, he got his freedom and millions of dollars, who'd want to be a cop after that? After getting out of prison, Charlie's got a very... unique mindset, and that causes him to clash with Reese a lot. He also sleeps around a lot and eats a lot of fruit- both things that he couldn't get in prison. In her backstory, Reese went undercover for a drug bust. She wound up sleeping with a junkie, and ended up getting so immersed in the cover that she became a junkie too. In one episode, a lab managed to make a cancer drug that was having really good results with a rare kind of cancer, but the company funding them stopped all research on the drug because it was a really rare kind of cancer, and therefore not profitable. Harsh, but unfortunately happens a lot.

Life (2007) / int_50ca4422	comment	Unresolved Sexual Tension: Averted, with both of Crews' female partners. In the more generic, regular type of UST, there are some subtle indications that maybe there is something more going on between Crews and Reese. Alas, we'll never know. Averted or subverted? Seever makes a speech about the fact that this is almost inevitable between male/female partners. Charlie wasn't paying attention. Crews gets a lot of this with his lawyer, Connie, and also his ex-wife, eventually resolved, and occasionally with women associated with the crime of the week.

And later on, a blackmailer manages to charm Ted into letting her into the house he and Charlie share, and takes pictures of the Wall. She later ends up an ally. Turns out her client was involved in the conspiracy, and he wanted to make sure Charlie wasn't gunning for him too. There was also a Serial Killer whose room is filled with smiley face memorabilia.

Charlie requests him as a temporary partner until a replacement detective is found. Subverted from an audience perspective, since Bobby ends up not contributing much to the first case and plays a similar role to his usual in the second half of the episode. He's there more in "Shelf Life" but still not as important as Dani.

Put the diet soda you asked her for in her gas tank. Not to mention the fact that the victim was a hitman himself, who she killed because the economy was bad and she didn't need the competition.

The second major sign occurs moments later, when he slams on the brakes and sits in the middle of the road for a few moments, contemplating what he just did, before flooring it again and leaving the tape behind.

People rhetorically asking what an experience would be like to highlight how terrible it is - that Charlie would have gone through as a prisoner. Charlie's love of fruit. Charlie repeating everything that's said to him, often to Reese's dismay. "Is that Zen?" And Charlie saying something Once per Episode that might be Zen but turns out not to be. For instance, telling a suspect who is about to hit him that "You strike me and you'll only be striking yourself." The suspect asks "What? Some kind of karmic payback?" Charlie responds "If only. No. My partner will just shoot you in the head." "Why is your car full of bullet holes?" "I shot it." Relatedly, Crews's cars all ended up trashed in some way over the course of the series. And Charlie is not attached to his car. Any of them. Also, Ted lives in a room above Charlie's garage, not in Charlie's garage.
