    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

      @joshuaholloway7799 Před 4 lety +18

      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.
