Title: Life On Mars appreciation thread
Post by: Himu on April 12, 2007, 01:15:09 AM: I'm a time travel freak. I love British entertainment. Life on Mars is a mixture of these two things and fuses them into one show that's too awesome for words.

I imported s1 from amazon.co.uk (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Life-Mars-1-John-Simm/dp/B000E9X0A4/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/202-8275213-2931804?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1176354245&sr=8-1) a long time ago and I felll in love.

I've been watching s2 by downloading episodes and I can't get enough of the series.

I highly suggest it, and because I'm lazy, I'll post a wiki summary of the show:

Quote
The format of the series mixes science fiction - specifically, time travel - with police drama. The central character is DCI Sam Tyler of Greater Manchester Police (played by John Simm), who, after being hit by a car in 2006, finds himself somehow transported back to 1973. There, he works for Manchester and Salford Police CID as a DI under DCI Gene Hunt (played by Philip Glenister). Over the course of the series, Tyler faces various culture clashes, most frequently regarding differences in his seemingly naïve approach to policing compared to that of his colleagues. The series also features a strong ambiguity concerning Tyler's predicament: it is unclear whether he really has travelled back in time, is in a coma in 2006 and imagining his experiences, or if he is from 1973 but mentally unstable.

I haven't seen the latest episodes, and I'm behind a bit, but I plan on importing s2 as soon as it's available on dvd in the UK (if it isn't already). Who else watches this?

I've seen the first season,it was very good and that song from David Bowie(?) is awesome but since apparently S2 is the last plus there is a spinoff series being planned taking place in the 80s.....

Post by: G The Resurrected on April 12, 2007, 02:45:42 AM: The show is really well thought out it is confusing but I think I got a handle as to how Sam Tylor got there. I watched series one again before getting into series 2 and right now i'm on episode 3 of series 2. The spinoff might be good I really like seeing england in the fake 70's its cool.

Kinda sucks its on BBC4 and not one of the major BBC channels like 1 or 2.
