Ashes to Ashes

[joedizzy]

Why isn't anybody talking about Ashes to Ashes? This has got to be one of the most intense and fun surreal shows on TV right now.

It beats Lost at its own game. I'm really excited about next week's final episode. If it really does wrap up both Life on Mars and itself, it might just get me to buy all seasons on DVD, just because it is so fantastic

Do let me know, when you have seen more. I'm dying to talk with people about it. :)

We're up to episode 2 of series 1 so far.

Ok, I've just finished series 1 episode 3 (spoilery-iffic reminder at the bottom of this post). I kept finding myself somewhat amazed at Hunt's change in character but incredibly amazed about Ray. He seems to be turning out to be a decent human being.

(spoilery-iffic: the guy on the boat raping and murdering prostitutes while quoting the Bible at them)

Jules and I are watching it on the edge of our seats! It just seems that no one else seems to be talking about it either. We love the guy who does Jim Keats (the actor is amazing, and so creepy), and we've been formulating all sorts of theories.

We already own the first three seasons (LoM 1&2, AtA 1), and we'll get the rest soon. At our wedding the first song for the disco part (not the first actual dance part) was straight off the LoM sound track, including Gene Hunt shouting "Nobody move, you're surrounded by armed bastards!".

Now I know how Buffy fans in the UK felt. (But now you know how Buffy fans in the US felt...)
