If you don't know, this is a BBC drama series about Sam Tyler (John Sim) a cop who gets knocked over and wakes up in the 70s. Both series passed me by on TV and it wasn't until the buzz of the last episode came and heard it was meant to be pretty good. Few episodes through now and am quite impressed.
For BBC, it has excellent production values and really captures the era well, with sets, music and dialogue. The writing is really shining in the nailing of generational ideals and fashions, though so far a lot of the crime stories are old hat. Both Sim (a long way from Human Traffic) and Philip Glenister who plays his boss are rather good, as the chemistry in whole. So far it mixes between being a straight cop cop drama and a Twin Peaks-esque mystery of whether he's back in time, in a coma or dreaming or what. Some of the surreal moments are creepy but not as effective as Lynch's work, an obvious role model.
Anyway, just wondering if anyone else watched it. No spoilers please! (Least till i've finished it)
