Life on Mars

[clocketpatch]

Walmart has actually come through for once. Though I totally nicked the last copy in the store (actually, I think it was the only copy the store had, period, but whatever)

I'm hooked. Damnit! I just spent six episodes glued to the screen being absolutely entranced by how marvelously wonderfully amazing this show is. I already want series two. Why are there only eight episodes? Whhhy???

Everyone who recommends this show is right.

My mother was hooked to it as well, and it's so rare to find something we both love now a days. I think it helped that the one time she visited the UK was in 1973. So she just keeps pointing at things and nodding.

I've only got two problems with it:

One: I love Simm's character to bits, but every so often he step over the boundary into preachey-obnoxious land, and I just want to give him a smack.

and

Two: I keep picturing him in dress and laughing inappropriately, causing my mother to give me strange looks.
