http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/05/LIFE----Tear-Asunder.aspx Turns out Life is one of the few premier shows that I’ve had to watch that didn’t make me want to run out and hang myself immediately.  Probably because I think Charlie Crews (Damian Lewis) is cute as hell.  What can be cuter/hotter/sexier than a man falsely imprisoned that gets out and is awarded tons of money and still wants to be a stupid Detective?  Anyways, last week we were introduced to Charlie.  One time cop.  One time lifer for murders he did not commit.  Primetime hottie! This week Charlie & his partner, Dani (Sarah Shahi) have to figure out the murder of one bloody bride.  Literally.  They find a newly married woman dead, naked and covered by only her wedding gown in her honeymoon suite.  How romantic.  Her husband, Jake, is nowhere to be found and after inspecting the room the duo begin hunting for him around the hotel.  Miraculously, they find him in a cabana by the pool drinking out of a Costco sized jug of tequila, and let’s face it—if you wake up from a blackout and find your new bride naked & dead drinking is probably the best option you have at that point.  After confronting the widower Charlie attempts to calmly place him in handcuffs.  Being drunk out of his mind the husband resists arrest and a full on pool fight begins when Jake chucks Charlie into the pool.  Dani resourcefully uses a taser to electrocute Jake and Charlie and put a cease and desist to their school boy fighting.  Five points for Dani. Now here is the tricky part, Charlie seems to think he is the master of spotting a criminal from having spent so much time behind bars and he swears up and down he cannot see murder in Jakes eyes.  It’s really a sweet sentiment, but too bad checking out someone’s soul via their eyes is not going to suffice as conclusive evidence, moron.  In the meantime, he is looking at photos from the wedding and trying to figure out what went wrong where.  As they’re interviewing people from the wedding and wedding party it becomes very clear this newly wed couple used to be a couple of party-whores and anything is possible.  The bride’s longtime friend comes to the aid of her widower as his legal representative, but as Charlie and Dani delve further into his background it becomes clear that his interest in the case is more personal—he seems to have been obsessed with the dead woman also.  It turns out this dead chick was quite the minx. en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/05/LIFE----Tear-Asunder.aspx 77 60 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/05/LIFE----Tear-Asunder.aspx#2205 I love this show - one of the best parts is trying to figure out the wall.
