I have to start watching this. I've only seen the first season of the UK version, and it was alright. But certainly, I'm planning on watching this. There were rumors of it getting cancelled a couple of months ago and that's the main reason I haven't giving it a chance yet, but from the looks of it the network is behind it at the moment, so that will motivate me some.

ABC is all in on this show, I read last month they ordered a second season. Best new show by far IMO

I haven't heard anything about a second season. I heard that they ordered 4 more episodes this season to the original 13 episode order, making it 17. It's fate is still in the air as far as I can tell.

I've seen all the episodes so far. I started watching it because I'm a Bowie fan and Harvey Keitel is always fun. Good show.

I take it you didn't like the 'dream machine' explanation.

This is a shame, glad I didn't start the series though. Guess I'll finish up the UK version.

You know...I guess Im not angry about it.

They made it come together in the end for me in a way. Wherever you are, make it home, live life like you belong there kinda thing. In the course of 1 season series, this one isn't bad by any means. It had me begging for scraps in every episode. I just thought it would all make sense more than...a dream.

But I mean, what did I expect, him to wake up happy in 2008? It would've all been a dream anyways. I guess this tied the past and the present together in its own little way.

I enjoyed the ending. The Bowie references were great, with at least 2 references to "Life on Mars" lyrics in the episode (and another reference in the second to last episode), and then, of course, Major Tom. Typing this made me fire up Honky Dory on my iPhone.

I liked it. There wasn't much they could do in a single episode due to the cancellation. It was fun. And I can still watch the UK original and not know the ending.

I started watching "Ashes to Ashes" on Comcast on demand.
