You can't fix stupid mate
If he’s as capable, why the hell not?
Not sure if any of you have watched Life on Mars and the sequel series, Ashes to Ashes. (Both titles are from Bowie songs, but that's not a huge part of the show.) Cop in modern day (well, 2003, when it was made) gets hit by a car and wakes up as a cop in the 1970s. Really does a good job of intertwining police procedural, time travel/fish out of water, and a bit of psychological drama. And the sound track (For Life on Mars, it's 70's, Ashes to Ashes was 80s) kicks all kinds of ***.
In the US, it's on BritBox. Oh, there is an American version, but it sucks.

Life on Mars was the last thing I got from Netflix on a DVD. I enjoyed it. I don't think I ever watched ashes to ashes.
I just had a thought: when was the last time I watched a DVD/Blu-ray? I dont even remember.
And it's not just because I like watching things I've never seen before. No, it's mostly because I'm too lazy to grab the DVD case, flip open open to the movie I want to watch, place it in to the Blu-ray player, and find the remote. I'm just too lazy.
I will sacrifice hours of my life watching subpar entertainment because I don't want to spend 2 minutes getting a disc to work.

I only remember this DVD because I never sent it back and ran into it years later.

Yeah, I know when I watch an Iranian flick, I want a white boy as the lead, speaking English, with an Irani playing second fiddle.
