Excellent!!! - By: SonicDeathMonkey :), 18 Aug 2010
After watching series 3 of this show, I felt I needed to see the story from the beginning. I started off by borrowing Life On Mars series 1 & 2 off a friend & I totally loved it! I then ordered series 1 of Ashes, & I was amazed. After watching Life on Mars, I didn't think Ashes would be as good, but I was plesantly surprised. The acting is brilliant, there are some great one liners from Gene Hunt, & I am looking forward to series 2 dropping through my letter box! A must have for anyone who enjoyed Life on Mars!

Brilliant Series - By: John V. White, 15 Aug 2010
This follow on from Life on Mars is a brilliant series & Gene Hunt is a classic. We have now watched all three of the Ashes to Ashes series & it's strange twist at the end. I'll say no more except watch it for yourself.

Just now wondering where Gene Hunt will appear next?

Shameful blot on "Life on Mars" memory. - By: micro man, 03 Aug 2010
This is a crying shame, after the excellent 16 episodes of "Life on Mars" the bbc decide to insult viewers with this drivel. Keely Hawes acting is an embarrasment to watch, I'm not kidding it is really awful & the character she trys to play is so ridiculous it's beyond belief. What were the bbc trying to do?? If you enjoyed "Life on Mars" don't watch this as it will taint the excellence of it. I am going to try really hard to pretend this dreadful rubbish never happened, but it's too late it's alreadyin my mind, please pray for me.

Tongue in cheek - By: R. C. Harris, 27 Jul 2010
It is unfortunate that the producers decided to go with a tonguein cheek approach to this series. Life on Mars was more gritty & gripping.

If you like a tonguein cheek then this production is fine, well done. Personally I enjoy a straighter production. The costumes that Alex Drake wears are bizarre & erodes credibility. In fact, the characters are more caricatures.

Gene Hunt & his two cronies are effectively a comedy trio. Which is a pity as Gene was a superb rolein Life on Mars.

The first episode has a shoot out with the baddies, that could have come from the Keystone cops! Both Chris Skelton & Ray Carling's characters would fit betterin the 80s comedy Hi De Hi...

Overall, the programme is to viewing, as to what fast food is to dining. Ok at time but quickly forgetable...
