Managing to sucessfully capture elements of both the police procedural and the time travel genre Life On Mars makes for a enjoyable show. The show puts time travel's ability to juxtapose two different time periods to good use. It's amazing to see how much has changed in 30+ years both in terms of police procedures and technology as well as societial attitudes.
