the BOX - Thursdays from 18 February, 8.30pm

Life was his sentence. Life is what he got back.

Charlie Crews was wrongfully convicted of the triple murder of his business partner, Tom Seyboldt, and all but one of the partner's immediate family.

Stripped of his badge and innocence, Crews was given a life sentence, where he suffered horribly.

Was keen to see the next instalment of Life tonight only to find it's been replaced by the new season of Bones. Thinking it seemed to end rather abruptly checked around and found an episode guide that mentioned at least 2 more episodes. These have both aired in the States already. Anyone know what is going on and when we are likely to see the rest of this great series?

What seems like a hate crime turns out to be a young man’s cry for help in this week’s thrilling episode of Life, screening Monday, February 3rd at 8:30pm on 3.

When two Persian Americans are killed and a third is kidnapped, Detective Charlie Crews (Damian Lewis) and Dani Reese (Sarah Shahi) believe they have a hate crime on their hands.

The detectives race to meet the kidnappers’ demands before it’s too late. What follows is a complicated scheme involving drugs, money and ultimately a young man’s desperate attempt to win his mother’s affection.

Meanwhile, Charlie’s dream about solar panels prompts him to want to buy a solar farm. Charlie’s roommate and financial advisor, Ted Early (Adam Arkin), questions his impulsive nature, however with the settlement that Charlie received from being wrongly imprisoned money issues are the least of his worries.

A bizarre set of circumstances binds four people together in a situation that takes friendly neighbours to the extreme in 3’s hit police drama series Life, screening Monday, February 11th at 8:30pm on 3.
Life features a lead character, Charlie Crews, who, despite having been wrongfully imprisoned for more than a decade, has managed to go back to the world with much joy and hope.

Apparently, it was this unexpected optimism that drew actor Damian Lewis to the role.
“I thought it was an interesting point to start out from… having such a dark, bleak back story… approaching life with such optimism and joy, a sense of every moment being lived intensely and fully,” Lewis told Boston Now.

“I enjoyed the contradiction there, I enjoyed that he had found an antidote to his experience. He could be bitter, he could be vengeful, but he's not, he chooses to be open and enthusiastic.”

NBC has ordered three more episodes of its new shows "Bionic Woman," "Chuck," "Life," "Journeyman" and CBS has ordered four more episodes of "Cane", taking their seasons out to 16 or 17 episodes.

So far, only Gossip Girl on the CW has had a full season confirmed.

Brand new drama Life premieres on NBC in the US on September 26.

The show is about a detective who returns to his job after serving years in prison for a crime he didn't commit.

Damian Lewis (Band of Brothers) stars as Detective Charlie Crews. Melissa Sagemiller (Sleeper Cell) plays attorney Constance Griffiths. Other cast include Adam Arkin (Chicago Hope) and Robin Weigart (Deadwood).

Damien Lewis will play the lead role of a former policeman in the upcoming new quirky drama simply called "Life".
