- Episode one of Life is now available for free online viewing at NBC.com.
- In a new interview with the New York Post Damian Lewis discussed his role as Charlie Crews in Life.
- According to an NBC press release over 10 million viewers watched the premiere of Life which was ranked first for its target demographic:
“…At 10 p.m. ET, the series premiere of “Life” (4.1/11 in 18-49, 10.1 million viewers overall) won its highly competitive hour in adults 18-49, adults 18-34, adults 25-54 and all key male demos. “Life” scored NBC’s highest rating in this time period since June 21, 2006 and improved on NBC’s premiere-week 18-49 rating in this time period last season by 46 percent (4.1 vs. 2.8) and the network’s year-ago overall viewer total by 34 percent (10.1 million vs. 7.6 million)…”

- (Spoiler Alert!) The musical soundtrack for episode one of Life has generated a lot of discussion; here’s all the information we have so far:
» According to this site the song played during the “I’m not in love with this car” scene (when Charlie pulls over his ex-wife’s new husband for a minor traffic violation) is Single Sedative from a new album titled Ameritown by the Eastern Conference Champions. (Warning, explicit lyrics!)
» The song that plays near the end of the show (while Charlie is studying his “conspiracy wall” ) is Dream Awake by the Frames.
» During last night’s live, online blog chat at NBC.com Rand Ravich (Life’s creator and producer) had this to say about the show’s music:
“We have a music supervisor named Liza Richardson, but I also write the music and when I imagine scenes and situations I have a cue in my head. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t, but I do have an active role in music for the show.
For a big scene, I usually have the song in my head early on. When the scene starts coming together, I can cut it in and see if it works… then we have to see if we can actually afford it.”
