Weekend TV: Life 2.14


When the lead singer of an 80s cover band is found dead, Crews and Reese must dig through a pool of posers to find the killer.



I haven't quite come to terms with what the zen subtext means to the noir character in this series, but there's a nice scene here with Charlie thinking about his own personal mystery while listening to a zen tape about taking life. There's a certain awareness here about the nature of transgression and the responsibility that comes with it. Certainly a note about self-determination within the noir landscape.
