Life on Mars
Life on Mars is an American version of the BBC series of the same name. It was picked up by ABC on May 13, 2008 and is produced by Twentieth Century Fox Television and ABC Studios.
This one on the other hand I didn’t particularly care for. It tells the story of Detective Sam Tyler of the LAPD (played by Jason O’Mara), who, after being hit by a car in 2008, finds himself in the year 1972. Overall I think the acting was done well, but I wish it had more of a sci-fi feel to it then it had.
Rating: 6/10
True Blood
True Blood is an American television series based on the Southern Vampire Mysteries books by Charlaine Harris and adapted for television by Alan Ball. The series is produced by HBO in association with Ball’s own production company, Your Face Goes Here Entertainment.
From first impression, I think this will be a good series. On one hand, it is on HBO, so do expect some titties flapping around sometimes (case in point: the pilot), but it doesn’t ditract from the story at all. Staring Anna Paquin as Sookie Stackhouse, it tells the story of a telepathic girl who falls for a vampire.
On a side note, if I’m going to keep writing reviews like this I’ll need to come up with a rating system.
