Television IT
is a time machine in reverse gear with this serial set in the
not-too-distant time zone. In fact, it is 1973 the time when
America was still stuck in the quagmire of the Vietnam War. Life
On Mars from Monday to Thursday at 6 P.M. on AXN is the story
of a modern-day New York Police Department Detective Sam Tyler

of the tumultuous seventies. It is the time of the Vietnam War and
the time when the Watergate scandal hit the world headlines. It is
also the time when issues like the women’s lib and the civil and
gay rights movements were as big as the nuclear disarmament and
terrorism are today. A world without cell phones, computers,
Internet, e-mails, PDAs or MP3 players. Detective Tyler is
suddenly hurtled back in time when he’s hit by a car while
chasing a criminal. This gripping sci-fi series shows how Sam
deals with all this ambiguity while trying to remain a top
detective, as he desperately attempts to get back to the present. Daring escape With over 1.5
