Review of Life on Mars

Life on Mars (2006–2007)
8/10
Enjoyable
24 August 2006
I love it when writers and directors take an old worn out theme and give it new breath. I happened on this by chance. I enjoyed it and have watched it ever since. I hope BBCAmerica decides to play it again, so I can put it on video until they decide to put it on DVD.

I have my own ideas of what is happening to "Sam" (John Simm). I'm sure others have their own ideas. If he does come out of his coma into the present, he would have learned a great lesson and I think his approach to his police work will have changed. It also makes me wonder how Sam's presence in DCI Gene Hunt's(Philip Glenister) life has changed his approach to his own police work. I would like to see Sam wake up and then find Gene as a retired Detective Superintendent and solve one last crime together. It's been done, I know, but maybe the writers can come up with something better.
