Life was his sentence. Life is what he got back. Damian Lewis (Band of Brothers) stars as the unconventional police officer-turned-convict-turned-detective with a second chance in each compelling Season One episode of the critically acclaimed mystery series Life. After twelve years in prison for a murder he didn't commit, offbeat Charlie Crews has returned to the force with a $50 million settlement, a new spiritual outlook, a strong fondness for fruit, and a highly unusual approach to solving crime. With the aid of his skeptical and demanding new partner, Dani Reese, played by Sarah Shahi (Rush Hour 3), he's turning police procedure upside down in this unique and fast-paced series with a "terrific cast [and] terrific writing" (Mary McNamara, Los Angeles Times).This three disc collection includes all 22 episodes from Season One of Life!
"...a gritty, off-the-wall drama that dabbles in the deep and the deadpan. A conspiracy copshow with lots of room for character development..." Laura Fries, Variety
"Smart and original." Sacramento Bee
Editor's Note
While spending 12 years in prison for a murder he didn't commit, police officer Charlie Crews (Damian Lewis) developed some curious coping skills, including a Zen-like calm and a detached, quizzical approach to reality's many injustices. When he's exonerated and released with a bag full of money, Crews buys a big house, a great car, and, unpredictably, opts to returns to the force and use his new personality quirks to help solve crimes. The first season of NBC drama LIFE follows this newly free detective as he investigates vicious murders alongside his edgy, outcast partner Dani Reese (Sarah Shahi), and searches the streets for the person who framed him for homicide so many years ago. As Crews navigates his newly re-claimed life, he bumps up against the members of the force who remain unconvinced of his innocence; throughout this first season, the detective gets close to department secrets that may have had something to do with his false imprisonment. The special volume features an audio commentary with the show's creators, as well as deleted scenes and a blooper reel.
