Life: Season 2 - Episode Discussion

I tuned into season 2 of Life last night and thought the first episode of the new season was just ok. I have given up all my other network criminal procedurals (like CSI) so I am going to stick this one out and see where things lead.

I like Damian Lewis and see promise in the show. My only thought is that it might become repetitive (like some of his zen like sayings) quickly being the circumstances of his improper incarceration are mostly resolved.

Lets hope they would bring back Brooke Langton, ASAP!





There is a second new episode this week (Friday.)

Re: Life: Season 2 - Episode Discussion

I have two episodes sitting on my DVR and am not sure if I am going to proceed with this series being a.) It already seems tired. b.) It is going to get canceled.

The Renew or Cancel Index (TVBYTHENUMBERS) has it as the 3rd most likely series to have the plug pulled (the top two being CW shows I have never heard of.)

Re: Life: Season 2 - Episode Discussion

I wonder what the heck happened to our tastes. Surely they haven't soured over the summer. We loved this show and now...yeah it's tired. It can barely keep my attention these days.

I don't think it was a good idea to give it to us Monday and Friday...and moving to Friday is just murder so good-bye Life, it was nice while it lasted.

I think the major issue was that a lot of marginal shows made it further then they should have. Sure, I liked Life - but there really was not much to choose from last year and we saw so little of it.

To be honest, a variety of cable shows have worked their way into my schedule and the networks are not upping the wow factor to keep my interest. The only new show thus far that has me hooked is Fringe, and just about every series from last year is on my "could do without" list.

I think they are just burning them off...
