About the show

The Dark Side of the Moon (Russian: Обратная сторона Луны, romanized: Obratnaya storona Luny) is a Russian detective television series, based on the BBC series Life on Mars. Like the original series it was adapted from, although with the original script rewritten to better fit the Soviet era, the series combines elements of the genres speculative fiction and police procedural, featuring a present-day police captain from the Moscow City Police (played by Pavel Derevyanko) who wakes up in 1979 as his deceased father in the days of the Soviet Union after being hit by a motorist while in pursuit of a criminal in 2011. The title is a reference to the Pink Floyd album of the same name, owing to Pink Floyd's underground popularity in 1970s Russia.

The show was produced by Sreda for broadcast on Channel One Russia, first airing on 5 November 2012. It was later renewed for a second season, which aired on 5 December 2016.
