Fuck Yeah Life on Mars

Relating to the Emmy award-winning TV show Life on Mars (UK). And how the American remake is inferior to the original.

Due to lack of new Mars-Ashes canon, related shows will be posted: Mad Dogs, Case Histories (by Monastic Productions) and NBC's Awake (LOM-esque US show coming soon this fall). Jason Isaacs stars in the latter two.
