For Life

A beautifully crafted narrative about the life of a man fighting for truth. This is one of those compelling stories that has the potential to creep into the zeitgeist, then (hopefully) shift it towards justice.

The first season is compelling, excellent storyline that opens your eyes, excellent acting and overall a very engaging show that pulls you in almost from the start. Yes it has its soapy moments in the first season but those are forgiven for the overall original feel to this show. The character development is also extremely good in the first season.

But for whatever reason, instead of ending the show after the second episode of the second season and wrapping it up then, the producers decided they wanted to keep making money off this, and just turned the show into a CSI extension. It's like Watching two completely different shows under the same name.

I hate it when shows do this, it ruins the entire thing. All the character development from the first season has disappeared, and the story has just turned into your average American soap drama.

What a shame.

A fresh storyline like nothing seen before which gives you an insight into prison life and the struggles within. An emotional ride into Aaron Wallace's life as a determined lawyer fighting for his freedom against a corrupt government!

I've only watched the first season so far. I know it's only loosely based on the real story, which is obvious by the very unrealistic things that happen every now and then. But the show was really good. Acting great especially the main actor...including the American accent. There were tears. There was anger. It compelled me to donate to the Innocence Project because innocent people go to prison all the time in America (and all over the world but more so there than in my home country of Australia).

I'm looking forward to the next season.

This has true potential. Will keep watching until someone messes it up!
