A modern day cop in a 1973 world.
Sam Tyler es un inspector jefe que investiga en 2006 un caso de un asesino en serie, cuando es atropellado por un coche. Al despertar, se ve transportado misteriosamente atrás en el tiempo a 1973. Inicialmente tiene que luchar para comprender su situación actual, tiene que acostumbrarse con la tecnología y la actitud de la época, mientras trata de averiguar cómo llegó a estar atrapado en el pasado. El actor John Simm describe el espectáculo como "un cruce entre Back to the future y The Sweeney", y hace uso efectivo de la desorientación de los viajes en el tiempo teniendo un paseo post-moderno por la moda y las tecnologías de la década de 1970, con el debido homenaje a los clásicos dramas policiacos de la época para crear una serie verdaderamente única.
"Life on Mars" (2008), a captivating television series produced by Kudos and 20th Century Fox Television, transports viewers to a unique blend of time-travel and police procedural drama set in the United States. The show follows the life of Detective Sam Tyler, portrayed by Jason O'Mara, who, after a car accident in 2008, mysteriously finds himself in 1973. This sudden shift thrusts Sam into a world where policing methods are starkly different, and he must navigate the challenges of solving crimes with outdated technology and societal norms while grappling with the possibility that he might be in a coma or even dead. The series brilliantly captures the essence of the 1970s through meticulous attention to detail in its setting, fashion, and music, creating an immersive experience for the audience. Sam's interactions with his new colleagues, including the tough and often abrasive Lieutenant Gene Hunt, played by Harvey Keitel, add layers of tension and humor to the narrative. The dynamic between the characters, especially the clash between Sam's modern sensibilities and the rough-and-tumble approach of his 1970s counterparts, provides a rich ground for exploring themes of morality, justice, and personal identity. As Sam delves deeper into his cases, he begins to question the nature of his reality, receiving cryptic messages that suggest he might be able to return to his own time. These elements of psychological suspense keep viewers on the edge of their seats, blending the procedural aspects of the show with a compelling personal journey. The series masterfully balances its dual timelines, offering glimpses into Sam's life in 2008 through fragmented memories and dreams, which serve to heighten the emotional stakes and deepen the mystery surrounding his predicament. "Life on Mars" stands out not only for its innovative premise but also for its strong performances and well-crafted storytelling. The show's ability to weave together elements of science fiction, drama, and crime-solving into a cohesive and engaging narrative is a testament to the creative vision of its producers at Kudos and 20th Century Fox Television. Ultimately, "Life on Mars" leaves a lasting impact, prompting viewers to ponder the complexities of time, consciousness, and the human condition.
