Life On Mars
Nov. 17th, 2007 11:41 amSo Supernatural is coasting, and Heroes is nosediving. Are my fandoms in a sorry state? Yes. But whenever one door closes, another opens.
That door is Life On Mars.
"My name is Sam Tyler. I had an accident, and I woke up in 1973. Am I mad, in a coma, or back in time? Whatever's happened, it's like I've landed on a different planet. Now maybe if I can work out the reason, I can get home."
Life On Mars is the story of a 21st century Manchester cop flung back into the dark ages of policing. A time before modern forensics, mobile phones, or the internet. Hell, a time before *computers*. It is also a time when the police force is rife with racism, sexism, violence, and corruption - when the main focus is putting suspects behind bars, and never mind the rules broken. It's a world entirely alien to Sam, which leads to a battle of wills between him and his superior officer Gene Hunt, who are each very much embodiments of their respective eras.
