I have still only seen ep 1. I dunno...I'll probably get to the rest of the series eventually, but it's not an urge to continue, like I had with LoM. For that, the 2 day wait between getting DVDs was hell.

I am glad that we are watching it almost simultaneously.Originally Posted by alkanto
Hey there. Have you got a chance to see the second episode?
No, not yet. I don't even own the dvds, and it's hard to find online atm. The only time I ever watched it was this summer, when I was in London.
Ah. Ok. I couldn't watch it also. It is not the magnet LoM has been. I was going to ask you if it was about being the first episode, or it gets better.
Shhhh
Nah, Jean hasn't watched any of A2A yet. And I know you didn't want it, but here's my answer anyway: as I've said before, the first series of A2A is definitely the weakest in the whole Hunt canon, but series 2 definitely gets a lot better. The whole show never gets as brilliant as Life on Mars really, but with series 2 and 3, it does come close.

I might agree with you on that, Melike. Granted, I wasn't in the best mindstate when I saw the first ep, but I wasn't blown away. I suspect I'll get to it...eventually.
No, not that I didn't want it, but I knew it word by word.
Not that I will not watch it, but I think I may lay off. I am too curious to quit the show, but lately I have got more busy with work, and there are other things I want to focus on. Dark Tower re-reading and etc. So, thank you.
Ok, after putting it off for months, I've finally bought the first part of the Life on Mars e-book series. Kept debating with myself thinking, "Is it really worth it, considering the story of Sam Tyler was so beautifully finished in the LoM finale?" But seriously, who are we kidding? Any excuse for more Gene Hunt, Sam Tyler, Chris, Ray, Annie etc is a perfect one for me. If it's written well, I'll get the rest. If not, I'll simply ignore it and stick with the series. (Which I do need to re-watch, I think. Very, very soon.)

Btw, heard about this a few months back, but this is the first trailer I've seen for the Russian take on Life on Mars:
Wow. That just looks so radically different. I mean, I knew it had to be, considering how completely different life in 70s Russia was compared to 70s Britain, but even more interestingly: waking up as his father and living his life? That's a whole new level of awkwardness right there! I think, seeing how completely different it is to the original has made me far more curious about it than the American version starting out with shallow copies of the original episodes as I first saw. I'm also aware of a Spanish version. I'm kinda curious about that one, but the radically different approach given to the Russian version has got me really keen to watch it.
