I adored Life on Mars, but I'm not a huge fan of Ashes to Ashes. People are different, and though it may only be in small ways, it feels like they're different in important ways.
...so I'm stuck somewhere between 'It's canon' and 'It sucks!'
It's a good show, but LOM was edgy and deep, whereas A2A is mainstream and well, everything that comes with that. In my view, there's next to no chemistry with the leads, and it's all trying a bit too hard to give you a twisty mind rather than a good story/drama.
I find Alex can also get a bit annoying, and the Gene I knew and loved from LOM isn't there either, gutted!
That said, I probably will be watching it, because it's entertaining, if not for the music and costumes and explosions and stuff.
