Rating: - Best 'Cop Show with a Twist' I've Seen
Life on Mars is a cop show set in 1973 with a big twist - the lead character, Sam Tyler, is from 2006. He is everything a modern cop should be - professional, methodical, meticulous, and politically correct. When his girlfriend (a fellow police officer) urges him to follow a hunch, he scoffs.
Then, in a speeding turn of events, his girlfriend is kidnapped and he is hit by a car. When he wakes up, he finds himself in a time so removed from his own, he might as well be on Mars. The ... Read More

Then he is thrust into a bizarre situation: after a near-fatal car accident, he finds himself in 1973. Why 1973? He doesn't ... Read More
Rating: - Simply great
A fantastic, fun, journey into the past. The two male leads are nothing short of great -- commanding and dynamic in their performances. This is a "must see" for everyone, not just sci-fi fans.
Rating: - Fantastic series!
I watched 'Life on Mars' when it first aired in the UK and was blown away. The casting is spot-on with earthy larger than life though believable characters. The scriptwriting is inspired, with pathos one moment, tension the next and a liberal smattering of humour and one-liners. The directing and editing are sublime, with the car-chases kept snappy and short, the eerie and slightly demonic 'Test Card Girl' directed to her chilling best and the emotional connections between the characters kept simmering ...
