Life's Final Moments

By Ileane Rudolph April 08, 2009 08:29 AM EST

Life ended it second season tonight (9/8c,NBC). Though critical praise has been high (the quirky detective show was on AFI’s Top Ten list in 2008), ratings not so much. Executive producer and creator Rand Ravich talked to TVGuideMagazine.com about the season finale and hopes for another year.

A brief excerpt:

How will this episode affect Reese and Crews’ odd couple relationship?

We find out what Crews has been searching for since he left prison. He thinks he’s searching for an answer to what put him away, but really, he’s searching to find himself. What he needs to understand is you find yourself by being with other people. He’s had these unsatisfying relationships with women and there’s been a person sitting in the car right next to him who has been there through everything with him. He needs to understand that perhaps the most important person in his life, though not necessarily on an ongoing romantic level, is Dani.
