Life on Mars

[Game Breaker]

Has anyone seen this show?

I love it.

About a cop that gets hit by car, wakes up in 1973 in New York

Its like a cop show, mixed with some humour, a little science fiction.

The characters have the best one liners, especially his boss and the other dude from the sopranos

New show, apparently its a remake of an English show, didnt even know that, I heard the BBC version is better, so I might check that out.



So has anyone seen it, English or American version. If anyone has seen both which is better?

I saw glimpses while channel surfing, the British version that is on UK TV, doesn't grab you to be honest and it looked like a boring soap opera. Do you need to watch the start of the series to make any sense of it?

I would say so. Mainly to understand the main plot

But every episode they'll have a case to solve, so each episode has its own plot, but then theres an overall series plot about why he's there.

I saw short clips of the BBC version, it did look darker and more depressing, afterall it was set in Manchester, so its probably just their weather

lol, some of their songs are stuck in my head too


In the first episode, the first song they played. That was with me for a while, been searching for it for ages couldnt find it. Found out it was called Ground Zero by Chris Cornell

show got cancelled, Damn

Finale was interesting to say the least.



I did watch the British version, and that is very good. They made a spin off called ashes ashes, so I think I might watch that

[Game Breaker]
