Life on Mars: A policeman named Sam Tyler is hit by a car in 2006 and wakes up inexplicably in 1973, where the police force have been expecting his arrival as their new transfer. The show revolves around him adjusting to life, trying to figure out how he got there, and if he can find a way back to the present. It's also a beautiful piece of television.
It's essentially a homage to 70's British cop shows with added Sci-Fi elements from the overarching theme of his mysterious time travel. Sadly, not a single trailer on YouTube seems to do it justice in my opinion.
I watched the pilot of the US version, not great. Although I must give credit to the scene where Sam sees the twin towers still standing. Really enforces his distance from the world he knows, sadly there isn't really anything as hard-hitting as that that's disappeared in Manchester. (That I know of!)
