I have just binge watched Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes over the past few days and it is absolutely brilliant. Philip Glenister owns the whole thing and should have received an award for his phenomenal performance. He was nominated several times but did not win, a travesty in my opinion. I am now his biggest fan. The last episode had me in tears. Wonderful. Update: apparently he did get a couple of awards

To be fair, if Mars had continued like it was supposed to (John Simm asked to leave because the hours were to long and he had a newborn), we would've had a couple more seasons and then would've seen a different version of the conclusion of Ashes. In my opinion it was better this way, Mars had a very powerful and subvertive ending that was open to interpretation, and we still got the full on explanation from the end of Ashes. In a way we got both possible endings of Life on Mars because of the fact it was only two seasons. Saying that - it seems like Sam Tyler might be coming back for a third show.

so wanting to see a last episode where gene comes to terms with his death and realises he needs bolly and goes to the pub and says hi sammy boy and then goes up to alex and says you are annoying, stubborn but i happen to love you and then they kiss. i also wanted to see them as a couple together at work and see that dynamic. to stop myself from grieving i've had to imagine it. ashes to ashes is brill. alex drake is the most inspirational woman showing off her strength and vulnerability in equal measure both to her advantage. gene is the sexiest man with a heart of gold underneath his passionate dominating persona. she tries to fight loving him and cant and he loves her and tries to fight it but cant. brill. and chris and ray and shaz are such great characters too.
