Life on Mars - Tuesday Pajamas - 12-20-2014 Now I know this was a while ago and it was only 16 episodes but I've just finished life on Mars and it is GREAT! Brilliant ending as well. Anyone else here a fan? I know there was a US version made but I don't know if it could be this good, so I'm a bit cautious to give it a go.

Yup. Far superior to the American knockoff. Though the casting on that was pretty amazing. RE: Life on Mars - SpaceAnJL - 12-20-2014 Gene Hunt is everything appalling and horrible, and yet, he's got a weird charm. RE: Life on Mars - MilleniumRing - 02-16-2015 Life on Mars was my guilty pleasure when I was over in the states for two years. I hadn't watched it before - hadn't even heard of it - but I had just watched 'The End of Time' from Doctor Who and I needed to see what else John Simm had been in. I have a problem, I'm aware. I missed my good ole English accents after hearing American twang for a time - and some Mexican because there was a fair bit in Connecticut, oddly - so when I found Life on Mars, bam, it was on my telly all the time until I came back home. Gene Hunt is just a bloke. He's every bully's nightmare, every nerd's deepest fear, the guy you never want to get on the wrong side of. Yet, time and again Sam Tyler did just that. Poor Sam. I loved re-watching the first episode. It had such a strong pull to it, because we didn't know if Sam was alive, dead, insane or an actual Time-Traveller. The last point is kind of funny because, hey, he's a Time Lord a year or so after this series . I've not seen the American version, because they do have a lot of copied shows over there that don't seem to work out too well (like Being Human). It got more episodes than ours did, but I heard they didn't have the same substance in the end compared with the original Life on Mars. Incidentally, I went out and got David Bowie's 'Life on Mars' track after watching this too . |
