OK, I've never understood TV Tropes up until now. And now I do and they're awesome.
Life on Mars has it's own page. All of Gene's tropes are listed there but I will quote my favourite one here verbatim:
# Crazy Awesome: Gene. Flipping. Hunt.
* A character who cannot enter Sam's flat without knocking down the door first. Whose idea of foresight and proper protection from bullets is carrying three liquor flasks on his person. Who connives his way into a private sex party with an obvious prostitute through sheer balls and manly looks. His vocabulary of insults is epic. There is no way this man should be a DCI, or alive. Yet, somehow, because of the inappropriate behavior (and with help from Sam) he is all the more effective at tackling crime. He bleeds whisky.
* When Chuck Norris grows up...The Gene Genie is going to punch his lights out.
Yes. He is Crazy Awesome. *beams*
ETA:
He has an interrogation trope named after him. *dies laughing*
