Life
TV's most intriguing detective. LA's most unsual crimes.
Created by Rand Ravich
On NBC
A procedural crime drama built around a philosophical protagonist whose Zen detachment is tested by both weekly cases and an ongoing mystery of his own wrongful conviction.
Complex, offbeat Detective Charlie Crews returns to the force after serving time in prison for a crime he didn't commit. Crews' new lease on life has provided him with a Zen-like outlook, peace of mind and no need for vengeance, an attitude which can be challenging to maintain when someone he cares about is threatened — or when he is investigating the mystery surrounding the murder he was falsely accused of.
