Wow: Just caught up with last night’s season finale (series finale?) of Life: What a great episode written by creator Rand Ravich; what a great, satisfying almost-wrap-up of the show’s ongoing mystery; what great performances from star Damian Lewis as Charlie Crews and Garret Dillahunt as Crews’ nemesis. Oh, and what a great lesson in the power of a punch to the throat. (Don’t try that, kids.)
Given that NBC has fewer hour-long time slots in the fall when Jay Leno takes over the 10 p.m. hour, and the fact that Life hasn’t been a ratings smash, it’s a shame this series doesn’t have much of a chance for another season. But I sure would like to see where Crews’ life goes after last night, wouldn’t you?
Did you watch?
DAMIEN LEWIS IS ONE OF THE BEST DAMN ACTORS ON TV. IT IS AMAZING HOW HE CAN CHANGE IN ONE MINUTE FROM AFFABLE AND A LITTLE STRANGE TO A VERY SCARY GUY. IT IS LIKE SOMEONE ELSE IS LOOKING OUT OF HIS EYES. YIKES! WHAT A GREAT FINALE. I BLAME NBC AND IT’S LAME LEAD INS FOR THE FACT NO ONE SEEMS TO BE WATCHING THIS.
Life is the only procedural drama I watch. It is unique and Damien is brilliant. If it’s lost, it’s just more proof that NBC doesn’t know how to build quality or ratings. Last night’s show was amazing!
Yes… i love this show! They should keep this show around for a while.
If NBC cancels LIFE I will be boycotting them. Besides LOST this is the best show on tv. I love Damien Lewis, great actor. Please bring this show back for more seasons. Last night’s episode was so great, can’t say enough great things about this show!
Last night’s episode was phenomenal! One of the best season finales I’ve seen in a LONG time. I hope NBC doesn’t cancel it. It’s one of the best shows on.

With all the shows falling by the wayside, I’ll have more time in the fall.
It was fantastic! I hope they will bring it back next year. There are not many good shows on TV now a days. This one is one of the best. Hopefully it will stay around for a few more years. The cast is wonderful!
I wouldn’t have missed it.
I would love to see where Charlie Crews does after this.
I do watch “Life” and only “Life” on Wednesday nights.
I adore this show, the characters, the writing, everything. It would be a SERIOUS let down if they let go of this show.
I watched the show from the first episode to the last. If this is the last, it will go out with some closure. I would love to see this pop up on a network like USA. It would fit in nicely with shows like Burn Notice. etc
I love LIFE!! Great writing for a ‘cop show’ very interesting characters, and very well acted. Too bad the smarter shows always get the axe. I’d rather watch Life than most other cop shows. It’s refreshingly different! Loved the finale, I HOPE there’s a season 3!! Oh and I have a mad crush on Dani. She’s gorgeous!
Life is one of the best written shows I’ve watched. This show does not insult my intelligence, in fact, it challenges me to pay attention to everything, the words, the background, the music and the subtle actions by the actors.All the actors,past and present gave strong performances.The show had all the emotions joy, sadness,rage, etc… If this show wasn’t against Lost, and had better promotion from NBC, it’s numbers would be better. I hope it gets renewed for next season, and it should considering what NBC has put forth lately. Tell your friends about the show,lend out your DVD to others.
PHENOMENAL show. Damien Lewis is fantastic and as others have said, it’s the only show I watch on NBC. Needless to say if it doesn’t come back, I see no reason to tune back into NBC especially with the odd decision to move Leno to 10pm.
Life is amazing. If it is cancelled I will be truly upset.
