    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.
