    I just finished watching the pilot and episode for this show, and it was a "wow", a top notch level of excellence. 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!

    what an awesome show! I am hopeful that The CW will renew Life Sentence for a 2nd Season. It's a nice "Difference" to the other Superhero drama's they are known for.

    I love this show and hope they reconsider having a second seasons. 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. Reminds me the qualities of Parentood.

    Living in a constant state of denial or as part of a concerted effort to keep someone happy in their final months and years is undoubtedly exhausting. Of all the ways to show how a group of people choose what to do next, Life Sentence picks one of the least dramatically satisfying paths, one that doesn’t leave room for much truth either.

    As the financial and emotional dominoes keep tumbling, there are only so many chuckles to be wrung from financial ruin and emotional defenestration. The show goes from morbidly funny to morbid to jagged and depressing at record speed. There are a lot of jokes in Life Sentence about patients watching "sappy cancer movies."

    Life Sentence makes for a painless hour and Hale occasionally elevates it to something more pleasurable. Just don't expect the title to be a long-term prognosis.
