Details

• Release Year: 2006
• Genre: Crime, Drama, Mystery
• Plot: Crazy, in a coma, or back in time? Struck by a passing car in modern-day Manchester, detective Sam Tyler (John Simm, State of Play, Doctor Who) wakes up in 1973, where he’s the newest member of his old police squad. Sam’s respect for proper procedure and 21st-century mentality clash mightily with his bullying boss, DCI Gene Hunt (Philip Glenister, Cranford). Still, Sam gamely adapts to crime solving in this retro world, despite hearing strange voices that call him back to his former life. When he bonds with sympathetic policewoman Annie Cartwright (Liz White, The Fixer), Sam wonders: does he really want to return?; ; Winner of two International Emmys® for best drama series, Life on Mars is 'an entertaining collision of bare-knuckled police-procedural realism and mind-blowing surrealism' (TV Guide), acclaimed by critics and fans alike.
