The burden of the sequel

Life On Mars is so good that it didn't continue to shoot, but it made the plot more compact. No matter how hard Ashes to Ashes works, I'm afraid it can't get rid of the "sequel" stereotype. Whether a female psychologist can spark a spark with Gene Hunt is hard to say. In terms of plot, Life On Mars cannot be avoided, so the heroine Alex Drake was arranged to study Sam Tyler's case and know the existence of Gene Hunt.

Probably the funniest part of the first episode is that the credits at the end use the black screen fluorescent green letters of the 1980s computer.

Immediately after BBC1 aired the first episode of Ashes to Ashes, the BBC Four re-broadcasted the final episode of Life On Mars. It turned out that there was an overlooked detail, that is, after Tyler woke up, he dictated and recorded his experience in his office, and then asked a subordinate to give the tape to "a colleague". "She collects cases of trauma among colleagues". This "she" should be Alex Drake. I don't know if the writers were prepared at that time.

It's a pity that Sam Tyler is gone, and Annie has no reason to be there. I believe many Life On Mars fans are looking forward to her return.
