» Australia’s Ten network has announced their 2008 lineup that includes Life among the shows that will return next year.
» This eBay listing indicates that NBC has been promoting Life to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for Golden Globe Award consideration.
» US viewers can download all episodes of Life at Amazon Unbox; episodes 4 through 8 are currently available for free, online viewing at NBC.com.
» This blogger describes Life as “funny, poignant and philosophically intriguing, all without ever once overstepping the line and showing off. It’s got the brains and style of the great literary novel, but it’s still proud to show the world that at heart, it’s a fun paperback thriller. That’s not an easy combination to pull off… I love Damian Lewis’s slightly amazed deadpan delivery. I think Charlie Crews might just be the least boring man on TV.”
