Life stars Damian Lewis as Charlie Crews, a cop who was wrongfully convicted of a murder and put in jail. Twelve years later, thanks to DNA evidence, he is exonerated and back on the LAPD with a multi-million dollar settlement in his pocket.
His whole outlook in life changed him and he is still investigating the frame that put him in jail. A lot of people around him at the time were involved. In this case, he investigates the murder of a bride. The investigations leads them to consider all members of the bridal party. The groom is the initial suspect but Crews doesn’t think he is involved, even after he had to be wrestled into submission. The groom was covered in blood and falling into the pool was a good way of getting rid of part of the physical evidence on his body.
This is a good episode. We see a lot more of Crews and the change that happened within him. There is less documentary style scenes to explain his current situation. Davis still tries to get rid of Crews anyway possible, but Danie Reese doesn’t really feel like being a rat. Crews interacts with his former partner Bobby, who testfied against him. The show did incredibly well in Australia on Network Ten.
Warning: Spoilers ahead.
