Description
The International Emmy®-winning series seen on BBC America Same place, same job. Different time, different rules. That’s the situation facing detective Sam Tyler (John Simm, State of Play) in this British drama that TV Guide calls "an entertaining collision of bare-knuckled police-procedural realism and mind-blowing surrealism." Knocked unconscious by a hit-and-run driver in 21st-century Manchester, Tyler wakes up in 1973. Is he dreaming, time traveling, or just plain crazy? Whatever the case, he might as well have landed on another planet. Although shocked by the brutality of his bullying boss (Philip Glenister, Cranford) and the callousness of his squad mates, Sam gamely adapts to crime solving in this retro world. But even as romance blossoms with policewoman Annie (Liz White, The Fixer), mysterious voices from his former life keep calling him home. Trapped in the past, he must decide where his future lies--and how to get there--in the tension-filled finale. DVD BONUS FEATURES INCLUDE -"The Return of Life on Mars" documentary (45 min.) -Bonus behind-the-scenes footage for episodes 3, 5, and 7 and tour of the set (48 min.) -"The End of Life on Mars" featurette (28 min.) |

They're back! by TVfan  5 Stars
March 05, 2010
Thank you thank you BBC for finally releasing this amazing show in a format those of us in the U.S. can view. This show was that remarkable combination of comedy, drama, and fantasy that is almost always doomed to fail, and somehow through amazing acting and brilliant writing this wonderful show managed to not only get away with it, but to excel at it. This is the only show I've ever seen that could have me laughing one second after choking back tears. Bravo BBC! Now make more like this.

Exceptional series! by cassie (Danville, CA USA) 4 Stars
January 14, 2010
I could have given this a five star review - actually everything but the ending (which was disturbing) was truely excellent. I watched the US version before seeing this. They are very different, so I didn't get bored. It is definately worth watching.

by Gene Hunt (Author)
'Don't move! You're surrounded by armed bastards!' Viewers of "Life on Mars" could be forgiven for thinking that the police force of the 1970s lived by the maxim 'The rules are: there are no rules', yet it turns out that this was not the case. A fascinating historical document has now emerged which shows that there were indeed rules and in 1973 they were recorded on paper by none other than DCI Gene Hunt himself. Divided into ten sections, "The Rules of Modern Policing - 1973 Edition" covers...
