Did you catch the new series “Life on Mars”? It’s airing on Wednesdays. This is the remake of British TV series and fantastically good in US version as well. This series has definitely got a fan on the day of its beginning and that’s me. I don’t know about others, but I found the series as a perfect entertainer. It carries suspense, humor, action and adventure. That’s why I have named it jam packed entertainment.

I was attracted towards the series after watching its dazzling promos. Harvy Keitel in action, beating people brutally, slow motion chase scenes and above all seventies music, raised my curiosity one level up to catch the show. It didn’t let me down and the show was exactly up to my expectations. I am watching the show regularly from its day of beginning. Among the aired episodes, I liked fifth episode the most. This is titled as “Things to do in New York When You Think You’re Dead”. Title sounds interesting, Right? Yeah! episode is equally interesting.

If you have a doubt that Sam Tyler is in coma and whatever he is doing is just his imagination and nothing is real, then this episode is surely going to prove you wrong. In this episode, Sam runs into his 2006 mentor officer Fletcher Bellow. Contrary to 2006, Fletcher is pretty young then. Although, he works with Sam on a case, but doesn’t recognize him, Whereas Sam recognizes him. It seems a bit ghostly situation. Sam is of his actual age as in 2006 and is present in 1973. On the other hand, Bellow is also in 1973, but he’s young like he has to be in 1973. Only Sam’s age doesn’t get affected. Bellow doesn’t recognize him because he has to meet him in future, after about 33 years. Anyways this doesn’t affect their investigations. They solve the case together.

This episode is not only my favorite, as I read somewhere that this episode has got highest ratings among aired episodes till now. This episode has made me more curious for further episodes. I am sure this show will run for more seasons.

“Life on Mars” is my favorite show these days. What I like the most about the show is its characters. In fact every character has a different color, which I have not seen in any other police drama since long. The characters are less serious and everybody is exactly opposite of other. For an example, have a look at Sam Tyler and Gene Hunt. Sam can be called brainy, as he does everything the way it is suggested by law. He is called by the book cop. On the contrary, it will be right to say about Gene Hunt that rules are meant to be broken. He’s the guy, who believes in action first and the word later on.

He beats the shit out of criminals on the basis of his assumption that the person is culprit. At that time he doesn’t care about where evidences point to. But later on when Sam shakes him by reminding rules, then he gives another thought to what he did.

I equally adore Sam’s character. He is confused over his arrival in 1973; still he is loyal towards his duty. Nevertheless, is courageous enough to adjust with the new circumstances and new people. He even forgets his real love of 2006 and develops a new relationship with Annie in 1973. I wonder if this is just his imagination how did he fall in love with a lady he has never ever met till 2006. Well, this is one of the surprises, the series is carrying along. Undoubtedly this is the factor, which prompts me to watch every next episode.

I like Sam in scenes with Annie because whenever they are about to kiss, they always get interuppted. During seven episodes, they have developed feelings for each other but couldn’t turn it into romance.

Gene Hunt’s drinking habit is funnier than his impatient violence. In an episode, he drinks with a dead man in the room throughout the night. Also I loved his dialogue in the scene, when Annie Cartwright joins the police force, but is afraid of weapons. Gene says, “Y’see, this is why birds and CID don’t mix.” Hear it in Harvey Keitel’s distinct style and you will too become his fan.

Have you got the buzz? Here’s another new drama series and it’s differentte’……oops I have just read an e-mail in French. So this is a science fiction. No, this is a police drama, Oh it’s a combo. Great! Well I didn’t get the news in time and I missed the initial episodes. I started watching ‘Life on Mars’ from the third episode and believe me! This is a fantastic series. A man suddenly travels back into time after a car accident. He may be in coma but events back in time are so real that it doesn’t seem so. He is in the year 1973, just after four years of his birth. But he’s a grown up man, as he was in 2006. In 2006, he was working as a detective with Greater Manchester Police, and he is doing the same in 1973. Though, he should have been a kid in that year. Now he’s continuously trying to explore about how and why he has reached back in time.

Hey, I missed this part of story in first and second episode. I have learnt it from the monologue they bring out in the opening of every episode. Moreover, when this time we friends hanged out, this show made up sufficient chunk of our gossip. My friends too liked the theme of this show. Everybody was saying that after a long time in the crowd of police dramas, a different storyline has come out.

The voices Sam hears, of people in hospital and of his mother point that he is in subconscious state in hospital. In fact, his mother is heard talking about removing the life support system. Still this is strange that in his subconscious mind, he encounters unimagined and unexpected things. He solves crime cases, meets new people, works with them, touches them and remembers all about his life in 2006. This suspense is life of this show. I hope that they won’t unveil it so soon. In fact they should keep dropping clues, so that people could carry on making speculations.

I am now fan of ‘Life on Mars’ and will definitely catch the episodes, I missed, over here.

Are you also looking for what next is going to happen in the next episode of “Life on Mars”? “Tuesday’s Dead” episode has just gone. Entire episode went on in a hospital with Sam, Ray, Annie and Gene in a hostage situation. The entire episode revolved around a crazed gunman. He wanted the doctor to reverse a dangerous operation on his brother. Sam and gang were deputed to diffuse a potentially explosive face-off in the hospital. This was all about the episode last aired.

Like everybody, I was also curious to know what happens in next episode. So I searched a lot. Eventually, found a little chunk about that. Let’s don’t waste time and I am eager to tell what I know. The next episode to be aired is “The Man Who Sold the World” and will hit the screen on 20^th of this month.

As per my information, this episode will be about Sam’s father, who went missing since Sam was a three-four years old kid. In this episode, he finds that his father is accused of kidnapping a prominent family’s child. May be that’s why he left the city. This is also possible that he was framed in the case of kidnapping and has died. Also he could be in jail or might be living under a pseudonym. These are all my guesses. If you want to know what exactly happened, you, too, will have to wait for the episode to be aired, like me.

As far as I know, now Sam develops a notion that he has been sent in 1973 for some purpose. That is to save his father’s life and prevent him from going missing. This episode will also throw some light on childhood of Sam. So expect to explore a little more about Sam’s personality.

Every episode carries some suspense and most of the times an amazing surprise, that’s why I love to watch this show. In fact, I have already downloaded and watched the initial episodes of the series once again. This is my destination to enjoy the show, when it’s off-screen. Which is yours?
