Also (and this is one of the realities of publishing) my books had to in some way stand apart from the show and be accessible to readers who only vaguely remember Life on Mars but haven't seen it since it was first aired. Seventeen episodes is one more than its British predecessor got, although those came over the course of two seasons (the UK keeps seasons trim, a model that makes sense creatively) and inspired spin-off series "Ashes to Ashes", which will soon begin production of a third season.
It has an amazing pedigree as it’s produced by Kudos, the same studio that brings us Spooks (or MI-5 to US audiences). Channel hopping one evening trying to find something to watch I just happened across an episode of this series,and remembering getting quite caught up with it ,when it was originally shown. Non-linearly, an internal investigation looks for a connection between Ray's petty younger brother (Eric Balfour), a robbed Wall Street philanthropist (Kevin Conway), two ornate beheadings, and Tyler's secret discovery. Life on Mars follows Sam Tyler ( John Simm), a policeman in service with the Greater Manchester Police (GMP).Sam loses his whole being, and he is saddled with the same massive doubts that so intrigue us as viewers.

As part of the Criminal Investigation Department, Sam finds himself working under the command of DCI Gene Hunt ( Philip Glenister).Our local TV broadcaster never ran a re-run of the series, so I only saw some of the middle bits -- enough to want me to watch from the start to the very end.
In both series, Tyler clashes with Hunt the most frequently, usually because Tyler values forensic evidence whereas Hunt often resorts to traditional methods and gut instincts. From what I can see with the aid of Google, eight songs (including four by Deep Purple and one by The Rolling Stones) were replaced for Season 1 and two songs for Season 2.
In practice, it makes for a thumpingly enjoyable piece of television — not least because everybody involved was obviously having such a great time". Sam Wollaston of The Guardian wrote: " Life on Mars was more than just a jolly, tongue-in-cheek romp into the past . A traffic accident sends Sam Tyler back to 1973, where he joins the NYPD and investigates a series of abduction/homicides that resemble ones he was trying to crack in 2008. Flush with initial success, the producers start to ramp up the show to be bigger and better--though not always the latter.
