Is it me or is this Ashes to Ashes with a bloke?

Had to look up what that was, doesn't sound anything like this show, that just sounds like Life on Mars with a woman.

This is quickly becoming one of my favourite shows to watch.

I thought last night was a very strong episode. If Red Britten moves to Oregon, it could really shake up the show. Though I don't see how they will shoot a show like this in to locations, given that Issacs is in almost every scene.

Yeah, I can't see them abandoning all the established cast members in the red reality for completely new ones in red Oregon. But they might do a multi-part story in Oregon.

The writing has been really strong. That's what makes the show for me--it's not just a gimmick police drama, there's a real heart to it.

I know that the colouring is intended to distinguish between the two realities, but i've found it interesting in how it affects how I perceive them.

The 'red' makes me feel like he sees that reality in a more positive light, like he's happier with his wife then he is with his son.

The 'grey' feels far more gritty, and the way he plays that reality is different. It's like the troubles with his son and the work situation make it seem more real.

The writing in this weeks episode was really strong, and very gripping too. It's like we got a glimpse of something unravelling and then him bringing it back together.

I also find the therapy sessions interesting, like the writers are almost taking shots at therapy for its subjectiveness.

I only just finished watching this series just now. I had a similar reaction. Very similar.
