I don't rate many shows the full 10/10 and I will never rate a show the full 100%, but this show (Among with The Simpsons, Futurama and Scrubs) is one of the closest you will ever get. It has got everything, good story lines, good characters and it is just as much of a surprise when things happen to you as it is to the actual characters. The mystery of the show is so brilliantly well written and the show as it goes on really becomes something of its own.
The show, for those who don't know stars Sam Tyler who after a car crash finds himself in 1973, he does n't know whats going on and neither does the audience as all 16 episodes of this series slowly getting to the conclusion of the mystery behind the show.
The characters really bring a lot to the show and if you did n't feel for them there would be a lot missing from the show (Kinda like the American version suffers from every now and then). There is of course Sam who is the fish out of water, he provides the voice of reason behind decisions made by his superior officer, DCI Gene Hunt who is a reckless alcholic who is only used to his "Fists first, Questions later" policy and it is Sams job. 2 of Hunts loyal comarados are Ray Carling, a slightly irresponsible cop who Sam hates. There is also Chris, a clumsy rising up detective who you really begin to feel for as the show goes on. At the other end of the coop comes Annie, the girl keeping Sam sane, she is stuck at a worse job the other detectives because she is a women and resents that. Along the series Sam and Annies relationship becomes in depth.
With these characters, you can really feel why Sam would feel so out of water. I think this show was right in its decision to pull the plug early so it would n't get boring of bogged down. While I would have liked to have seen another season I can see why they quit while they are ahead.
