Seriously? Life on Mars only just about sustained itself for two short series in the UK (and I speak as somone who loved it, and the ending, but who recognised it had a limited lifespan). A US remake was never really destined for greatness, was it?

The NY shift may help, but it's a bit of a puzzle why they would take the idea, some script/cast elements and the title (without the song!!!) and then shrink it into 40 min episodes when the original was already busting the seams with inconsistencies in a 60 mins...

I'm not hopeful basically - and I don't think I ever was.
