Some notes from watching on 19 January 2024. (Episode 9 is much longer due to a rewatch in order to catch details of Easley Barton's case on 2 February 2024.)

For Life started airing in winter [February] of 2020. It's inspired by the story of Isaac Wright Jr, who was given a life sentence for drug charges that he was innocent of. If I understand correctly, he became a paralegal in prison, assisted other prisoners with appeals and legal stuff, was able to establish precedent for his own appeal, found proof of police misconduct in his case, and secured his own exoneration before becoming a lawyer after leaving prison.
In the show, the main character Aaron Wallace is facing similar charges and motivation, but he becomes a lawyer while still in prison, and I'm not sure if the show ended before he got to his own exoneration. (It didn't get renewed after season two.)
My family watched the first three episodes [of season one] back closer to the airing dates, but we should have recordings for the rest of the series. These are some approximate notes about those episodes.
