Well I finally got to see the US version of Life on Mars. And, er, hello, suckage.
No, it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it'd be, but mostly I kept wanting to yell WRONG WRONG WRONG SO SO WRONG at the screen all the time, and dude-that-is-supposed-to-be Gene Hunt SUCKED LIKE A VERY, VERY SUCKY THING. Ray and Chris!Impersonators also sucked, and were so very unfunny, only Annie is somewhat charming and yet it doesn't come close to real!Annie's awesome. And Sam is... well. WEIRD. Very much - there's something about John Simm being SMALL and yet all COCKY that works a lot for the character, this Sam is too tall, too, er, imposing, dunno.
Also, the changes made to the last bit of the episode in comparison to the UK pilot made it look so, so very creepy. Like, a lot so. I also can't see the original version's ending fitting in US television, it's too... daring? Bizzarre? I don't know.

Sam would never, EVER even THINK about pulling a gun on a wee kid. NEVER. That's why it was so, so very creepy. o_O

Qué cambiaron? Solo vi el piloto que no se emitió y juré que nunca más, por muchos cambios que hicieran en el cast, veria LoM US. Eso, y ese trozo de palo inexpresivo que se hace pasar por Sam Tyler :(
