 Quality entertainment September 6, 2010

Ashes to Ashes ends beautifully with this last season. I, for one, didn't see this ending coming. But I thought it was a great idea. It was even quite moving. Great stuff, highly recommended.
Ashes To Ashes - Perfect TV September 1, 2010

Being an American fan of "Ashes to Ashes" is difficult. Nearly two years passed before the second series started being shown on BBC America so what is a fan to do? And the BBCA website was no help in finding updates as to when it would air, etc. Thankfully, due to a recently purchased portable DVD player which cares naught what region the DVD is coded for, it was order time through Amazon.UK! And I was not sorry - I blasted through series 2 and 3 in one go. This show was amazing - great writing, wonderful characters and an ending that out did the recently ended "Lost". It is not even necessary to have seen "Life On Mars" to follow "Ashes To Ashes" (although it helps when it comes down to the end).
I will miss Gene Hunt, Alex Drake, Chris, Ray and Shaz very much but am thankful for the folks that created such an entertaining and unique viewing experience.

I just loved the way this series developed. A slightly different tone from the first two series, and the growing clues as to what was really going on very intriguing. It also made me cry in the end. Fantastic characters, brilliantly drawn and cast, and excellent writing from the start of Life on Mars right through to the end of this series. Long live Gene Hunt.....

I'll be honest: I expected to be let down. I thought that the saga of Gene Hunt, meandering as it does through two series of Life on Mars and no less than three of Ashes, could never be satisfactorily wrapped up without betraying what had gone before. I was, thankfully, absolutely wrong. Many people had regarded Ashes as, at best, the poor relative of the original 70s-set series and, at worst, a wholly unnecessary sequel. This perception began to change halfway through the second series of Ashes, and I'm happy to report that this third series completely overturns both of those assumptions. This is Gene Hunt's finest hour.
The quality throughout the series is high, with perhaps only the episode dealing with a politically-motivated arsonist falling flat. All of the characters get their turn to shine, and the mysterious elements of the series - why does everyone keep seeing stars? Who is the ghostly policeman haunting DI Drake? - recur often enough to keep the viewer's interest up. And it all pays off magnificently in the finale, which tells us absolutely everything we need to know about Ray, Chris and Shaz, about Drake herself, about poor, tragic Gene Hunt and about this strange timewarped world we've spent the last four years in. Keeley Hawes' Alex Drake finally becomes a properly sympathetic character, the poignancy and sadness of the show is fully explored and the whole thing ends up being a great big salute to life in post-war Britain, and to the Great British bobby, (and their TV counterparts). The final shot of Dixon of Dock Green (and what happened to PC Dixon in The Blue Lamp? Think about it!) is the icing on the cake.
