Hastings (Adrian Dunbar's character) being sent to the police afterlife of Life on Mars/ Ashes to Ashes THAT'S where I know him from. I kept wondering! Watching British TV is always an exercise in "I know you from SOMEWHERE but am I invested enough to IMDB you ..." Though I can't say, tbh, that I remember what his role in A2A was. I did watch the show, but I barely remember the plot ... I was more a Life on Mars kinda person.
I like watching it Oh, I love it. I enjoy British TV's tendency to be like, well EVERYONE sucks and is a terrible person, so you're just going to have to pick whom to side with based on your personal sympathies.
I'm also enjoying this season's theme of pointing out systemic misogyny, and how putting a police department in charge of investigating police corruption can't really work in the long run, because you're going to get the same systemic failures in the anti-corruption department that you also get in all other departments--except nobody's investigating them.
Though I'm not sure the show's being obvious enough about pointing that out. I got this anon on Tumblr yesterday, and it did kind of throw me. How could anyone argue she was not justified in defending herself??
Poor Gene. I still don't know whose idea it was to put him in charge of ferrying cops into the afterlife. That's such an abstract concept, and Gene and abstract concepts are just a bit antithetical.
