Life on mars!

I loved to watch the show because of it's innovative story (not the usual kind of story). And it seems like the authors of the show did their best to create a interesting and quality tv show. (No, I don't get money for that comment)

Rating : 9/10

Life on Mars?

Posted : 1 year, 9 months ago at Feb 7 14:24
More like Life WASTED. I always find myself watching British-produced prime-time dramas and feeling very embarassed because of the obvious low production values and stereotype casts. This was no exception.

Every story was tinged with stereotypes and embarrasing scenes which made me ashamed to be English. I can't believe we came up with something so bad. The lead character is a tosser as well. This is like watching all the embarassing bits of a Dr Who episode (like the string hanging from the monsters or the cheap and ineffective CGI) compiled into one thirty minute slot. Only that would be less cringe-worthy.

Rating : 1/10

Donnie Darko TV

Though I am British and love to support my countries attempts to breach out in the new media market, with this route they are dommed to suffer.

Take a generic time travel idea and mix in taboos and a poor cast and this is exactly what you get on Mars.

It tries to be intelligent, it tries to be funny but I feel nothing but shame. Ashes to Ashes should never see the light of day.
