I did end up watching about half an hour of the US Life on Mars until I realized that 3rd Rock from the Sun was on TV Land. A much better way to spend my time.
If you've seen the original, it's basically the exact same thing. The parts that were different, just felt off. But then again, I know what it's supposed to be like. It might be different for new viewers. The only thing I can say is that if you've seen the original, and if it lasts long enough, to wait until they have a different story. I mean, American shows have more episodes in one season than both series of Life on Mars. So at some point they'd have to stretch it out more, right? I don't know.
If you have nothing better to do for an hour, give it a shot. Then you can decide whether you want to bother with any subsequent episodes.
