For Life: Cadena perpetua

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.

A lawyer who is a member of the New York Bar but still in prison - a complex and unique story with dark themes at times that keeps the viewer guessing what will be next. A gritty presentation of some harsh realities but with glimpses of humanity.

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.

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

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.
