Thrilling conclusion to the acclaimed detective series, the International Emmy®-winning series seen on BBC America.
Same place, same job. Different time, different rules. That's the situation facing detective Sam Tyler (John Simm, State of Play) in this British drama that TV Guide calls "an entertaining collision of bare-knuckled police-procedural realism and mind-blowing surrealism." "One of the best TV series ever made" - San Francisco Chronicle. "Fresh, compelling, and inventive" - The Washington Post. "A satisfying conclusion" - Los Angeles Times.
Knocked unconscious by a hit-and-run driver in 21st-century Manchester, Tyler wakes up in 1973. Is he dreaming, time traveling, or just plain crazy? Whatever the case, he might as well have landed on another planet. Although shocked by the brutality of his bullying boss (Philip Glenister, Cranford) and the callousness of his squad mates, Sam gamely adapts to crime solving in this retro world. But even as romance blossoms with policewoman Annie (Liz White, The Fixer), mysterious voices from his former life keep calling him home. Trapped in the past, he must decide where his future lies-and how to get there-in the tension-filled finale.
