Ashes to Ashes

Did any of you see the final episode on friday night??  You who don’t live in the country, have you been introduced to the new ‘god’ that is Gene Hunt on BBC worldwide or on iplayer?  If not, get yourself over to it and watch this series.

Gene is a good, well not all the time, copper who, to me, gets the job done.  His methods would make today’s PC curl up their toes and die.  He is an over the top exageration of coppers back in the time, who, for one reason or another, through hell or high water felt that if they wanted to convict some ‘scum’ he would go ahead and do it.

Talking to those of you who saw it, did you think that it got the ending that it deserved?? Did it explain enough to you of what they were doing there, or did you feel cheated?

I think that the ending brought the ending together perfecttly, they made it poignant adnd personal to all of the characters involved, not just Gene and Bolly.  Have we been twisted enough as humans, through the medium of television to expect happy endings, not that this was not maybe the case, but did you feel that it concluded well?

I watch quite alot of television, not always main streamed tv, but I have seen some programs that leave me feeling ‘should I have wasted all that time watching this’ or ‘wow, that was it, you have got it’

Funny, fickle world this television business.
