I recently which both series of Life on Mars. It's a show which started off brilliantly with an engaging and thoughtful narrative structure but with each episode having its own self-contained structure and criminal investigation. By the middle of the second series, I was just waiting for the resolution, which sadly was a bit meh.
It was a show which I thought could have been brilliant but the mystery element as to why Sam Tyler was in 1973 felt dragged out so the ending was more of a 'huh, I thought that was happening' than a bolt from the blue demanding an immediate second viewing.
Anyway, now watching Ashes to Ashes, a couple of minute to the first episode.
