What Season 2 of Life

The new captain, who arrived from New York, Kevin Tidwell, demands quick answers in every case. Meanwhile, Crews keeps tracking down those behind his conviction. His laid-back attitude toward investigations clashes with Reese's suspicion of his eccentricities. Crews wants to get his life back, but the lost years weigh more than an acquittal. Damian Lewis leads the cast of this series created by Rand Ravich.
