Life on Mars

Ok whose fault is this? caribbean_moon, i think its yours.

I'm up to episode 4 of series 1, and LOVING IT. John Simm is amazing, I love the Dirty Harry style shootouts and dirty bent copper stuff, and its really a brilliant show.

Simm's kindof a rat-faced kind of guy, isnt he? But i loved his Master so much that i decided to check into Life on Mars, and its damn good.

Yes. And loving the music, hell yeah! And the accents, they're so Manchester/Salford /Teh North, its terrific.

Can I ask how you acquired your copy? Only I don't want to fork out limited funds if I don't like it...

Hee, hee! Great minds, apparently. Series one is currently being, er... acquired, as we speak. Good to know that it's going to be worth the effort!

Ahem.

LOVING IT. Yes.

I only watched the last episode of the second series but quite liked it - I may yet have to go back and watch all the first lot too!

*adds to neverending list of cool sounding stuff to watch*

Poor spiffy Simm!Master...

Haha, sorry I didn't see this post before I haven't been able to read my friends' pages due to my cousin being here, but no more!!

OooO I'm glad you like the series. :) I have yet to see it, but my friend is obsessed with it. She's told me a lot of great things about it, especially the accents, haha. Hopefully I can keep an eye for it when they have it again on TV.

I finished it, and it was simply amazing . Simm is utterly amazing, yes.

I missed Life On Mars S1 on TV, just thought it was another drama that wouldn't do anything for me.

I got S1 as a boxset for a birthday though, and decided to give it a go.

I got hooked.

And I still am. It is one of the best written things in recent years, and everywhere you look you can tell things have been thought out (bar a few anachronisms that weren't meant to be there). Gene Hunt, I think, is perhaps one of the best characters ever invented, and whilst Sam is something of a wimp, he grows on you.

Also, Teh Northern influence for the win. I miss it down south.

I've spent all weekend watching my recently-purchased S2, and it DID NOT DISAPPOINT. How much have you seen now?


Ashes To Ashes, Bring it On!!
