Life Sentence

Almost a shame this was canceled. I found it to be one of the most heartwarming and uplifting shows I've seen in recent years. It's corny as hell, and the writing is anything but nuanced and delicate. But the Abbot's are slowly becoming one of my favorite TV families in recent years. This show really got to the inner cornball in me, and yet there are some really brilliantly written scenes and interactions that sadly make some of the more ingenuous plot developments stand out more than they should. Back to this being canceled though, a few things are left up in the air but not in a huge cliffhanger type way. This feels like a perfect miniseries, with just the right amount of conclusion to make you feel satisfied but enough questions left up in the air to keep you thinking about what would've happened next. This is a show that easily could've overstayed its welcome and I don't think they could've maintained the charm for another season, so I am perfectly satisfied with the 13 cute episodes we got, even if part of me does wish there was more.
