While dealing with the dramas and hassles of the last couple of weeks one of the things I did was re watch Ashes to Ashes.
While I enjoyed seeing the show again I still don't feel that it's as strong as Life on Mars ( the proper version and not the American produced abomination ) but that being said I would have been more than happy to see another series or two of either show or even both.
Even though it is a sequel to Life on Mars I think Ashes to Ashes works well on it's own however it can be appreciated more if the viewer has actually seen it's parent series.
If you have never seen either of them what are you waiting for ?, seek them out, it's well worth it.
