    Keeping things light and airy works for Life Sentence. As a pure form of escapism, the series is as effective as those weepy movies Stella used to watch in the hospital.

It might be too early to say it is a potential Emmy-winner or other awards winner show just by the first episodes, but I would say it is on the "MUST SEE" list. Look forward to the next episode!… Full Review »

Cast is so appealing and the premise keeps a great tension going between deep topics like life length and value with a lively family dynamic. Styling is great of all sets and wardrobe.
