I only discovered this show yesterday (for which I am eternally grateful to
the_grynne) but it is absolutely the best show for me in this season. My love from the first sight, it is a show that is perfect in many ways: fabulous script and story, music and cinematography to die for and of course - Damien Lewis! It is so great to see someone who can actually act rather than someone who is just deadly pretty for a change (no offence, Brs. Winchester!). And did I tell you that I am particular fond of ginger-haired British actors? But this is really just a cherry on top because this show is goooood and good in a serious way.
I rarely recommend shows that much but I can really recommend this! In fact – I am shamelessly pleading! Oh, good folks on my friends list!!!! Why are you not watching "Life"??? Especially those of you who live in USA as ratings seem to be everything? It is not as if they are bad for this show but as far as I know there is no news of full season yet.
Meet Charlie Crews: A policeman that served 12 years (out of his life sentence) in a high security prison for a crime he didn't commit. He was acquitted at the end, he got a large settlement and his job back but he is set to find out who killed the family of his best friends (the crime he was imprisoned for). He has a larger-than-life personality and seems to attract everyone he meets.
( Some more characters, I tried to keep this not-spoilery )
