Life: Season 12007


     Charlie Crews spent 12 years in prison for multiple murders but he was innocent.  He suffered a lot of mental and physical abuse on the inside from fellow prisoners because of their hatred of cops.  He received a high dollar settlement when he was released and he could be retired.  He decided to go back to the same police unit and resume his career.  Dani Reese is his new partner.  He still has to deal with members of the force past and present who were there when Charlie was convicted.  Everyone except his attorney thought he was guilty.  No one thought he was innocent or believed in him.
     Charlie looks at the crime and the suspect differently now that he’s been on both sides of the fence.  It’s much more important to get everything right and sometimes you can’t follow by the book.  Charlie is still working the evidence on his own case to track down who should be in prison.  I thought this series was very interesting.  There is a ‘different’ viewpoint of law enforcement and crime solving.  The individual cases are interesting too.  3 ½* (I liked this series)
