Desperate to know my viewpoints on Life on Mars TV show, then proceed further. I know that huge fan following of this cancelled TV show will feel great to hear from another fan of this TV show. In spite of belonging to an entirely different profession, I consider myself a seasoned critic of TV shows. I have been watching TV shows since long and I know after all experience matters. I can explore TV show from different angles and dimensions. This time I am going to talk about Life on Mars from a different angle. I want to share with you what I really learned from this great TV show.

We all know that it was a really entertaining and thought provoking TV show. Nevertheless, have we missed a point in praising Life on Mars. Oh sure we have! Let me tell you that what we have missed. We have missed that Life on Mars presented the contrast between modern police procedures and the traditional methods of policing adopted by the police personnel. I would not like to dig deep into storyline of Life on Mars as most of us remember it by hearts. A policeman meets with an accident and finds himself in much earlier times as compared to time we was in before this accident. He is confused but continues with his duties as a police officer. He still shares a strong connection with contemporary police procedures and is aversive to traditional harsh procedures of policing. He is also taken aback for lack of application of forensic science to seize seasoned criminals. Wow! Now shift focus from this police officer to me. We have really progressed. Crime rates are falling; criminals know that American Lions are consistently on the prowl to prey on them. They can be caught with wittiness and strategy without even firing a bullet. Criminals can be made to confess without any torture. Modern police officer is on verge to becoming God, where no crime gets unattended from his binocular vision. Commendable job, Life on Mars! You will always belong to top most bracket of great TV shows.

Life on Mars or no life on this planet, I do not give a damn. Nevertheless, there was still plenty of life left in “Life on Mars”, television show when it was cancelled. Cancellation of this television series is a grave injustice to huge fan following of this TV show. “Life on Mars” had unlimited supply of oxygen in the form of action, suspense and thrills.  To burn this show into ashes by canceling it is putting an end to a TV series that was shaping up quiet nicely.

The show had a script that was as original as DNA of a new born. Name any other show whose plotline matches with “Life on Mars.” Start comparing the plot of this show with any show on earth. I can vouch that you will not find similar plotline in any other television series.

By ending “Life on Mars” prematurely, the producers messed up with its ending. Here is a brief snapshot of this TV show’s finale. Sam, the principal character in this show wakes up from his coma, only to find the modern world devoid of feelings as compared to his life in 1973. In the finale it was revealed that Sam’s travel into past was a computer simulation that was working in Sam’s mind. What the hell! It is all so absurd and seems total crap. This bizarre ending to this great television series seems like a forced effort to terminate “Life on Mars.”

To have complete episodes of “Life on mars” TV show will always remain a privilege. If we leave aside this ending, the whole television series is like a beautiful monument worth showering endless praises. I was finding it hard to procure “Life on Mars” DVD from the market so I decided to download it from internet. I have finally downloaded it from this website and enjoying this series all over again with my family and friends.

Hey friends! The American version of the hit BBC show, Life on Mars, ended only after Season 1, and as most people would agree with me, it was not the kind of ending we had been expecting. But now that the show is over, the stars of the show have moved on with their careers. Most of them are busy with on or the other new project. But I just thought to take a look at the guiding factors in the lives of these well known stars. And as I looked into the lives of two prominent cast members, I learned that it was the love of their wonderful families, which mattered the most to them.

Actor Jason O’Mara, who played the role of Detective Sam Tyler, in Life on Mars, has realized that family is what life is really about. Jason married, actress Paige Turco, whom he met on the sets of The Agency in 2002, and the couple has a son named David.  Jason feels that his priorities in life have changed and it’s not about him anymore, as now it’s his family that comes first. The actor wants to devote quality time to his family and wants to be around for his wife and son. He feels that parenting is all about being present for your child and listening to him.

And he is not the only one from Life on Mars, who thinks like that. His co-star on the show, actress Gretchen Mol, who played the role of Annie Norris, shares similar kinds of thoughts. Gretchen, who used to start weeping at the thought of getting pregnant, when she was in her 20’s, is learning more about parenting, as she tends to her 14-month old son, Ptolemy. The actress, who is married to director Kip Williams, feels that parenting cannot be learned from books. She admits to relying on instinct and dealing with a situation, as and when it presents itself, in the best possible manner and according to her judgement.

Well, while these actors are busy with their careers and family, we can enjoy their great work on Life on Mars by downloading all the episodes of Season 1 from this website, or even watching them online here.
