phoenix64A nice glowing review of Life here.
Both Reese and Crews have walked on each side of the law, but Crews is the only one who doesn't quite believe he's back on the right side. Reese keeps his wavering mind in check, while Crews fills her empty soul with just the right amount of charming advice. As for the obvious "frailty beneath the tough girl exterior" archetype which seems to be mandatory for just about all female officers on TV, Reese' truly dark past actually appears to be a subplot worth exploring rather than dismissing. Her character brings a fresh angle to Life, while also putting the other more cut-and-paste females of procedural cops shows like CSI at a damaging disadvantage.
