Life on Mars was a great series!

<< < (2/2)

Dartful Dodger:
I skipped a lot of the American one because I thought it was going to be an exact copy, like what they did with the office, which is probably why you're asking the question.

I really like the British one, and if you have the time I'd recommend watching it, but if you watched the American one I'd reluctantly say, watch the first episode.  If you don't get hooked then skip ahead to the last one.

They’re more or less the same but the ending of the British one answers the heroes questions and leaves the viewer with some questions, where as the fairytale ending of the American one answers all of the heroes questions and leaves the writers/producers of the show with a warm and fuzzy feeling.

I haven't seen any episodes so watching the better version first is preferable (apparently that would be the British version).

AtomSmasher:
I watched the American show when it first aired and personally I thought the ending was one of the worst endings I've ever seen in a tv show  :dunno

As for the majority of the show, it's basically a generic cop show that takes place in the 70's with a little scifi twist to it.  I can't say I'm a big fan of the show.

Malenko:
prolly why it only lasted 1 season

It's a one season show, because that's how it was written.  Unlike prison break, which was written as a 1 or two season show and then...
Season 1 escape from an American prison
Season 2 flee to Mexico
Season 3 escape from a Mexican prison
...
Season # escape from an island prison by being pulled on water skis over a caged shark.


If they continued Life on Mars, it would become as idiotic as prison break.

If you can I'd recommend watching the British version first, and remember I'm a "buy American/America #1" kind of guy.
