Life

Do you have your Zen? I am constantly searching for mine...

A friend turned me onto a cancelled too soon TV show called Life. You can watch every episode of  Life free on Hulu through September of 2010. I am. 

At its core, it's a police drama with homicide mysteries of the week. But underlying the week to week plot is the exploration of a wrongful conviction, friendship, trust, loyalty, partnership, love, years in prison and trying to cope with the new found freedom and money. I have about 10 episodes left. Some episodes bring me to tears but it's so real, so authentic that I just keep watching. Superb acting and writing. 

And I realized just about all of the shows I watch on the internet are crime dramas or have features of them.

• Castle (ah, Nathan Fillion on a show that's lasted more than one season; I miss Firefly)
• Bones
• White Collar
• Human Target
• Fringe
• NCIS
• CSI Miami
• CSI NY
• In Plain Sight (and small world, the main actress  & I attended the same high school (I'm a few years older)...some of the best dialog ever!)
• Fringe
• Burn Notice

The only shows I watch not in this theme are Caprica & V - both science fiction at the core.
