The Art of Zen Returns to the Tube

If nothing else, clear some time on your calendar tonight for the return of NBC’s most excellent cop dramedy Life, starring the fantastic Damian Lewis as eccentric police officer Charlie Crews and Sarah Shahi as his supremely able partner Dani Reese.

There’s no doubt about it — one of the best decisions NBC made in the spring was to renew this captivating and fun series that gives viewers a taste of quirky life with each new episode. It’s the one fall show I’ve been looking forward to most all summer long. Really.

Check out a brief preview trailer now and don’t forget to tune in tonight for the series’ special Monday second-season premiere “Find Your Happy Place.” Life will present another new episode this Friday in its regular 10pm time slot, as well as next Monday at the special time again. Then, on Friday, October 10, the show will settle down for the remainder of its run (provided the network doesn’t play around with it, that is).

I’ve found my happy place indeed.
