Absoluty Brilliant - By: James M, 14 May 2008 
This is definitly one of the best shows i have watched in a long time, it seems to include everything you could wish for in a show. The storyline for this show is a piece of genius, however someone thought of this a do not know, it is original & at the same time great. Its not just the storyline which is great, the charectors created are marvelous as well, making the show brilliant. This the second & final series of the show which continous on from the fantastic first series which was just as good as the second. The series still follows Sam trying to get home, while still trying to understand why he is here in the first place. A must watch show for alll.
BRILLIANT.BRILLIANT.BRILLIANT.BRILLIANT.BRILLIANT - By: M. R. Shatin, 04 May 2008 The Poms make up for their terrible cricket with absolutely brilliant drama.This is the best mini-series I have seen in a long lifetime,which I hope continues even longer.That is also what I would have liked Life on Mars to do.
I will never remember Camberwick Green in the same way again! - By: Mr. R. Johnson, 04 Apr 2008 I am one of those sad individuals who learn about a rave new TV show two thirds the way into the second series & as such, having missed the first series & a half, had no idea what to expect. The first episode I watched in both series was the final one of series 2. My timing has never been that good!
So when Ashes To Ashes came on I watched alll of that - & look forward to the chance to get my hands on Keeley Hawes (did I mean that?) again when it comes out on DVD. So, to get the gist, I bought series 1 a couple of weeks ago & series 2 last week. Then, after a lot of watching DVDs I understood that final episode - or did I?
The whole idea is unique in a sense, unless you discount Dr Sam Beckett, for that is another series altogether, & the creation of DCI Gene Hunt is altogether fantastic but what entertainment! Laugh? There were moments I was crying with laughter. My wife says he reminds her of me - Mmmm.
But I was not prepared for the opening sequence for the later episode in series 2 which began with a mock version of Camberwick Green, with Sam Tyler coming out of the box to be asked how he was doing. What happened next was a coffee moment - if I had a cat it would have been covered!
Buy this, along with series 1 & have a great time. I cannot wait to sit & watch the whole thing once again, from start to finish.
Great TV. Worth the licence fee just to watch this!
More surreal - By: Mr. A. M. Konieczny, 22 Mar 2008 Unlike most other reviewers, I found this series less good than series 1, probably because everything pointed towards it ending. I found that this made the 1973 events less exhilarating than the first series. However, I still give it five stars for the brilliant acting, good script, political incorrectness & pace. However, I think I will be re-watching series 1 more than this series.
BRILLANT STUFF - NOT TO BE MISSED - By: Irishmoll, 18 Mar 2008 NOT TO BE MISSED -
Life on Mars is undoubtably one of the best series on tv for some considerable time. If you loved Series 1 - you will love this also. The chemistry between the characters is brilliant - excellent script writing. When you start to watch - do make sure that you have at least an evening free, for you will not be content to watch just one episode - Fantastic stuff - buy it, watch it & tell alll of your friends to do they same - they will not be disappointed.
