Things are lighter and brighter--and frequently funnier--in the Los Angeles of Life.
By Ellen Gray FULL REVIEW

It's all more like a steady burn--of talent, of smart writing, of chemical reactions--and it may take a few episodes to feel the heat.
By Nancy DeWolf Smith FULL REVIEW

In general, we like his character, and Reese's. They have a new boss named Kevin Tidwell (Donal Logue), who doesn't start off all good or all bad. Neither does the show. But if it can maintain this level of quality, it's got a shot.
By David Hinckley FULL REVIEW

I found it to be more or less the same competent procedural that it was last season.
By Maureen Ryan FULL REVIEW

Because of Lewis' brilliant portrayal of the eccentric Charlie, the show is perfectly enjoyable. It's just not compelling, mainly because the ongoing story of Charlie's search for justice is so isolated from the rest of the show that it seems meant for bathroom and snack breaks.
By James Poniewozik FULL REVIEW

So long as Lewis is around, Life will be several steps above those cookie-cutter police procedurals.

Dani of the Perfectly Tousled Locks watches Charlie for the rest of us, her responses shaping ours.
