Anyone else watching this? It's on Monday nights on BBC America.
It's about a detective in Manchester who is hit by a car and wakes up and he's a cop in 1973. He occasionally has hallucinations that lead him to believe he's actually in a coma and none of what's happening is real, but he can't figure out how to get out of it, so he just has to go along and do his job (my synopsis isn't really doing it justice)
I've really been enjoying the show, because they don't get into what I expect an American version of the concept would do and harp on 'OMG! People dress funny in 1973! They've never heard of the internet! Ha! Ha! Ha!' There's a little of that, but it's much more about how much social and cultural mores have changed. The way the cops in 1973 rely on hunches and gut feelings instead of forensics, don't see a problem with roughing up suspects, etc. Good show.
