Just got round to watching it on DVD, never watched it on TV love the 70s style crime with the 00s policing.

Watched 3 hours of it so far.

Where have you been hiding until now?

1st series was good, 2nd got a bit contrived and dragged on a bit too long

Freakitchen · 27 Jun 2007 at 23:59

Enjoyed almost every minute of it, well written drama and good soundtrack too! Just a tad disappointed with the ending, though won't elaborate for the sake of the OP

The intro on S2 Ep5 was brilliant

Agreed. "Is he kicking in a nonce?"

"Surveillance? Sounds a bit poncy".

I still need to get round to watching the second series.

I wasn't allowed to watch it on TV by housemates because they complained they hadn't seen the first.

Gene: "Don't come over all 'Dorothy' on me"

"He's got his fingers in more pies than lepers in a cooking class"

"As fake as a tranny's fanny"

LoM is great!

It's such a relief to have something so politically in-correct on the TV!

One of the best shows on TV in the last few years, by a long, long way!

Gene: "Gene hunt doesn't pick locks. Gene Hunt kicks doors down!"

Gene: "She's as nervous as a very small nun at a penguin shoot."

Chris: "What's a vol-au-vent?"
Ray: "It's puff pastry filled with a savoury meat mixture."
Chris: "You mean a pie."

That joke was perfectly timed. Beautiful.

Life on Mars is great!

Got both series, really enjoyed both

SexyGreyFox · 28 Jun 2007 at 17:10

I was late also.
I watched the 1st series one day before the 2nd series started.
I purposely avoided it because I thought the storyline was rubbish.

Pookie Bear · 28 Jun 2007 at 17:37

I thought it would be rubbish, then decided to watch the first episode on Virgin Central.....and watched them all in the space of 48 hours. Hunt rocks

Great show.....one of my favourite lines is:
"Well this is Trafford Park, you got more chance of finding an ostrich with a plum up its ****."

Anybody watching Ashes To Ashes?
Zippy & Bungle - brilliant.

Jebblehmoo · 7 Feb 2008 at 21:32

Bloody LOVED it, Gene Genie is the best character I've seen in a long time in just about anything. I was really gutted when it finished, it was so brilliant, and I'm glad they've brought Gene Hunt back at least in Ashes To Ashes

Which is airing right now!
Good thing I'm recording it

Sankari · 7 Feb 2008 at 21:40

Loved the first series, switched off the second at episode 1 and was glad I did after I heard how it ended.

Brilliant concept, poorly executed.

SexyGreyFox · 7 Feb 2008 at 21:45

Is there anybody watching the new series?
