Life on Mars US is turning out to be a good adaptation. I like how the writing is tight enough to keep the story going. The episodes also follow (generally) the sense of the original episodes, but with added or changed roles. I'm not so sure I like the Gene Hunt on the US show. He isn't in it nearly enough...but it would be hard to top the Gene Hunt in the BBC original. He ended up taking over the original LoM!

I'm surprised I'm liking it as much as I am.
I just read an article that said LoM was just bought by a Spanish commercial station, and they're going to remake it (like the American version) it's going to be reset in Spain in 1978, three years after Franco's death in 1975. They'll "shadow" the origina series' scripts, but adapt it to their own culture and so forth. Very cool.
