Started...

I have started watching "Life on Mars", a raved-on BBC series starring John Simm (Who many of you know from Dr. Who), and deals with a man who is a police detective, yet after the accident, wakes up and is in the 70s.

Have only heard of the series, for a brief bit, but only 10 minutes in, I'm puzzled, and more, curious.

No idea if it's accurate...my memory of 1973 (when the show takes place..well, after the accident), is non-existent. :-)

Anyone else watching this? Or watched it, I should say.

yeah i watched it on bbc america and love it. so did stephen. it's 1973 england so i'm not sure you'd recognize stuff if you had been alive then.

great acting, great plots although the little girl in the tv is still damn creepy. they only did two seasons, on purpose if i'm not mistaken. and there's a spin off during the eighties with just the head cop guy. john simms actually did this before he was on dr. who, it's what he's known for in england.

you'll like it. still hesitant about the american version david kelly had cooked up for next season. i might check out the pilot.....

I've only seen one episode, which happened to be a finale, I think. Which was odd. I'm intrigued, and now have to see the rest.

That was how I was introduced to Twin Peaks, too. Saw the finale of the first season before anything else. LOL.

Ah, better to have seen the finale of season 1 than season 2. 0.o

And I can't wait to get through to the finales of both seasons. I'm intrigued, liking the acting, and enjoying it. :-)
