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.

firsthalfofroger: Top 5 jear worthy TV scenes #5. Sam wakes up | Life on Mars This whole episode is perfection, but this scene, oh man. Waking up is what Sam has been working toward this whole time, and yet when he wakes up, he begins to realize that this isn’t what he wants. It’s an incredibly bittersweet and largely unstated realization, and his conversation with his mother breaks my heart every time. When he finally makes his choice on the roof, the use of Life on Mars, the song that has followed him through from the very beginning, it’s pretty much one of the most chilling (in a good way) sequences I’ve ever seen, tied with his initially waking up in the past. The first time I watched this, and every time after, this part has always reduced me to tears.
