I hope so, too. There is excellent source material (the original 16 scripts) and provided they can stay authentic (e.g. the set designers seem to have had a lot to work with) I think it will carve out that unique vision as you said.

I feel like i am missing something for living in the "Bloomberg-ified" NY and while every movie about '73 NY screams gritty (for false like American Gangster for example), Life on Mars feels different. it doesn't feel like the French Connection, but on the other hand, it doesn't feel like the best memories of a time gone by. I hope that its attention to detail and strong writing allow it to carve out a vision of its own. Living in NYC for the past few years, I am a sucker for NY shows and movies.
