Life

You know how sometimes, you find a TV show, you start watching an episode, and you just know that you're going to love it?

That happened to me today.

There's this show called Life. I don't know what network it's on, as I only just found it on a streaming-links site today, but then again, I don't actually care.

Reasons I like this show:
#1. Damian Lewis. Lead actor, also happens to be bloody fantastic. Doing the Hugh Laurie thing of being very, very convincingly American (he's actually as British as they come).
#2. Lewis' character, Charlie Crews. This guy is fantastic. He's smart, he's philosophical, he's funny, and genuinely comes across as a nice guy. (Oh, and he spent twelve years in jail for a crime he didn't commit.)
#3. Dani Reese (detective character, Crews' partner). Unlike a lot of crime-procedural drama characters, she's believable. She has a past, but she's not *angstangstangst* all the time. It's refreshing.
#4. Ted. (Crews' roommate/lodger) To understand, you'd have to watch the show yourself.
#5. Christina Hendricks as a guest star? I like! (Even though, as a direct result of too much Firefly exposure, I can barely look at her without thinking "Who's Saffron scamming now?". *sigh*)

In short. New shows. They can surprise you.

I've discovered something....

apart from the fact that he grew, John Francis Daley looks exactly same now (playing Sweets in Bones) as he did in 1999 (playing Sam Weir in Freaks and Geeks).

I'm not kidding.

Exactly the same.

And while we're on the subject of Freaks and Geeks...

OK, THIS MIGHT END UP BEING ONE OF MY FAVOURITE SHOWS EVER.

Mostly for the fact that it's produced by Judd Apatow. And stars James Franco, Seth Rogen, Jason Segel and Linda Cardellini.

(side note... James Franco. Possibly one of the most underrated actors around at the moment. Seriously.)

So ya... watch it, people, watch it.
