Ashes to Ashes - Complete BBC Series 1-3 (New Packaging) [DVD]

Product Information

The series ends with Alex awakening in what seems to be the present, but she is horrified to find Gene's face on monitors, pleading for help. Summers proves to be a formidable adversary, whose actions eventually lead to a murder and an extremely tense confrontation between Alex and Gene. The art direction is gorgeous, with its super-saturated reds - and thanks to this, I'll give a pass to the idea of a female CID psychologist showing up for work daily in red satin blouses and Flashdance tops, not to mention her club-ready eye makeup when she ought to have other things on her mind than perfecting shadow and liner.

I actually think another series Could have been made, bringing someone from the very current social media, always connected world, but maybe like all the best things it was wisest to stop it at it's peak. The finale of Ashes To Ashes, which finished in 2010, [47] has been described by Dean Andrews as "genius".Alex is ripped from her current world of sexual equality and respect in 2008 and finds herself opposite an arrogant fellow DCI in a Two Tone, New Romantic Eighties London with a soundtrack of Adam Ant, Roxy Music and The Human League ringing in her ears. In an interview with SFX, series co-creator and executive producer Matthew Graham stated that he was considering making a 3D episode. In this series Alex tries to figure out what happened to her parents, whose lives are connected to the political unrest of the time, especially Margaret Thatcher's campaign and Lord Scarman's attacks on the police.

We previously used to have some sections where we listed box sets by the year they were released, which you can still look through: 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016. As with "Life on Mars," the end (of each season) makes you want to go back to the beginning and watch from your new perspective. Mostly about the fact that some explanations make sense for Life on Mars, some for Ashes to Ashes, but don't really make sense when both are put together. Life on Mars received a Blu-ray release however it was just an upscale and many recommended not to invest over the DVD boxsets.After the conversation with Terry Stafford, the International Version shows Alex and Gene at the station. Furthermore, there is more Gene Hunt in it, who, similar to Ari Gold in Entourage, is the actual star of the show - despite the fact that the story is primarily about another person. A cliff hanging ending leaves the viewer completely confused as to what time period Alex is actually in. It becomes about Gene's immaturity from his own previous life events and his own journey to remembrance.

Keeley Hawes' performance was singled out by critics such as The Sun 's Ally Ross, The Daily Mirror 's Jim Shelley and The Guardian 's Sam Wollaston. Philip Glenister, speaking on the BBC One Breakfast TV programme on 8 June 2009, announced that the third series would be the last. We will publish your review of Ashes to Ashes Complete Boxset on DVD within a few days as long as it meets our guidelines. The final episode reveals that the Life on Mars/ Ashes to Ashes world is a form of limbo or purgatory, for "restless dead" police officers.Like John Simm’s character in Life On Mars, DCI Drake suddenly finds herself in 1981, with no clear reason why. In Portugal, the show was broadcast by Fox Life, while in Latin America, the series is shown on HBO Plus.
