Life On Mars

Are there any fans on here? Ive been waiting for the DVD sets to be reduced and it finally happened

I so enjoyed watching these two series again. And wished there had been more to be honest.

Gene Hunt was my favourite character

I really liked the U.S. version. Didn't know at the time it was a remake of the British show which I haven't seen but would like to someday.

I loved Life on Mars! Never bothered with Ashes to Ashes though.

Life on Mars is brilliant. I especially love the relationship between Gene Hunt and Sam Tyler. Ashes to Ashes is also quite good but not as good as Life on Mars.

Now I didnt think Ashes to Ashes had the same feel to it. Its a guy drama to me Life on Mars and thats why it works - dont ask me why - LOL
Gene Hunt has to be the funniest character Ive seen in a long time in a drama. Thing is he's not trying to be funny, but is

Recently got both seasons for a tenner. Didn’t know there was a US version. Preferred this to Ashes to Ashes, and Hunt was a great (laugh out loud) character.

Short run series like this, which the BBC produce, is a pretty good format. Better than 20 odd episode seasons which end up containing filler episodes that do nothing but draw out the story.

I thoroughly enjoyed the original version of Life On Mars, and to a lesser extent, Ashes to Ashes. The banter between Gene Hunt and Sam Tyler was brilliant.

Ashes is a must watch if you are looking for answers to some of the questions raised from watching Life On Mars; such as why are they all there, the relevance of the pub etc.

I didn't care much for the American remake.
