I still don't think this series was as good as Life On Mars. I seriously think it's one of those things that can't really be done twice.
I enjoyed it, but still like LOM more. And it took me ages to actually even begin to like Alex.

But OMG I love everyone else. I completely adore Chris and Shaz XD

I was really sad in that episode when were found out that Sam had died :( I wish there were more Sam mentions to be honest.
