Damian Lewis as Major Dick Winters
Charlie Crews
Badass Dani Reese
I'm addicted....to a TV SHOW! With the exception of some nightly news and LOTS of football, I rarely watch TV, especially since the last season of 24 went straight down the crapper. My new addiction is LIFE, a quirky new crime drama about a cop named Charlie Crews who spent several years in prison for a crime he did not commit. After he was exhonerated, the state paid him a fat settlement and his job as a detective was reinstated. The actor who portrays Crews is Damian Lewis, whom I absolutely ADORED as Major Dick Winters in Band of Brothers. Damian is so very British and sexy as hell (and I'm really not a huge fan of redheads!), yet he can pull off a yank accent so convincingly.....mmmmmmmmmm.......he's sooooo talented.
And for you guys out there, Crews has a feisty and beautiful partner, Dani Reese, who complements him so well. She is intelligent and quite saucy, and I caught a catty flare of jealousy when Charlie's pretty attorney greeted him with a flirtatious hug last episode...meeeooowwww!!!!! Get him, Dani! He's YOUR man! Dani is portrayed by Sarah Shahi, a former Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader. The cheesy fangirl in me hopes that one day the chemistry between Charlie & Dani escalates to biblical proportions and the two unashamedly and forcefully bed each other for about 16 hours straight. However, I love the show for what it offers - excellent writing and damn good entertainment. This is coming from someone who cannot stand 99% of TV shows, so take it to heart. Maybe you'll like this show as well. Oh yeah, there's also K-Ville (yet another cop show about post-Katrina New Orleans with the swaggering, southern-drawling, panty-melting Cole Hauser.....mmmmmm.......that's for another post, however....)
Yeah, I'm boy-crazier than most females, but hey, I'm a red-blooded American chica with enough estrogen pumping through my veins to run a city for ten years. And Damian Lewis just makes me purr...........
Check out LIFE...Wednesday nights at 10:00 ET.
