I love this show! Anyone else seen it? Basically it's about this cop who was framed for the murder of his friend/friend's family, so they put him in jail for a life sentence. Then 12 years later, they reopen the case and realise he's innocent, but they still don't know who really did it. So he gets a huge settlement, goes back to being a cop, and while solving public cases, works on the side figuring out who framed him. It's also funny becuase he's been in jail so long, he's missed out on a lot of life and realised how he took everything for granted, so he has these obsessions with things like fruit, company, technology, etc.

So far "Mike Novick" and "Nina Myers" have been in it too.

I've seen the first season. I like it too.

The main character is played well.

And i remember the episodes with Mike and Nina.

Damian Lewis, the star of the show, is actually British, although his American accent is flawless. He was in Band of Brothers too, which makes it a bit of an adjustment to see him in a comedic role.

He doesn't even look British...he fooled me.

If you watch videos of him in various interviews on YouTube, he looks a lot different than he does in his acting roles.

Basically, the main character was a cop named Charlie Crews. He was part owner of a bar with his best friend. One day his best friend and best friend's family were all brutally murdered in their home. For some reason, at the time all the evidence pointed to Charlie as the killer. So he was thrown a maximum security prison for a life sentence. 12 years later, they reopen the case and discover there isn't enough evidence to convict him. So he's released with a $50,000,000 settlement and a new lease on life. He goes back to being a Detective and aside from trying to solve normal murders, he's trying to find who framed him.

I really like the inclusion of Donal Logue.

I loved the part where he got the guy arrested for "assaulting a police officer". Even though he completely antogonised the guy into it.
