Featured review
This show must go on!!!
I started watching this show yesterday on Netflix and I'm about to finish the first season (Netflix only has 1 season so far). I love it!!! It's got everything I love; the good court drama, corruption vs. Justice, people trying to do what's right.
I just found out this brilliant show has canceled after mere two season. Are you kidding me? How the heck all those stupid reality shows are still on while this clever and touching show gets canceled. Something is wrong here. If there is a petition for 'For Life' to go on, I'll vote for it in a heartbeat.
Great show, highly recommend.
