LIFE ON MARS is a throwback to the crime-fighting style of the 1970s, drawing its inspiration from such TV series as THE SWEENEY and THE PROFESSIONALS. As was characteristic of...
more...classic 60s fantasy, the creators have taken some risks with the show’s politically incorrect references, daring to be slightly subversive. While its creators are quick to brush off comparisons to fellow time-travelling TV series QUANTUM LEAP, there are obvious thematic similarities, however unconscious. John Simm (HUMAN TRAFFIC) ably stars as Sam Tyler, the fish-out-of-water detective who must piece together the mysteries of his own situation, while solving the crime du jour. The show takes its title from David Bowie’s haunting theme song.

Life On Mars - Series Two
Review of Life On Mars - Series 2 (Box Set) by cheesman88

Advantages: A great continuation of a fanstastic series
Disadvantages: It's the last series. Some might find the conclusion unsatisfiying.

The second series of Life on Mars continues Sam Tyler's journey that began in the first series. If you haven't seen the first series then this set won't make complete sense to you, though I think series two could stand alone as the first was fairly self-contained and had its own overal story to tell. Series Two is a little more arc orientated, being the last series, and every episode takes the story another step towards its conclusion. So to the ... Read review

Is there Life On Mars?
Review of Life On Mars - Series 2 (Box Set) by MizzMolko

Advantages: Brilliant un-nostalgic trip back to the 70's, very insightful for younger generations
Disadvantages: The last series - ever!!!

...1973 as he fears his life support system is being fiddled with in 2006. Fearing it is the same man in both eras he failed to out about in the twenty first century, Sam goes to any length in order to stop them. Best quote - 'Good work Raymondo, I'm bumping you back up to DS...this time it will stand for Detective Sergeant instead of Dog S***!' (Gene Hunt). Marks out of 10: 9 - a brilliant way to get us back into the swing 1973 style! Episode ... Read review

Review of Life On Mars - Series 2 (Box Set) by furrytoad

Advantages: Thrilling storyline, great actors
Disadvantages: Last in the series

I was fortunate enough to watch both series of this programme all in one go. I had no intention of doing so but story line is just so gripping that you are instantly caught in a web of intregue from the main charactor Sam. In the first series (this is a reveiw of the second afterall) We know that Sam, a DCI from the 21st century, is hit by a car and stuck in a coma. But whilst in this coma ends up in 1973. Is he in this coma? Is it really 1973? or ... Read review
