Great way lay a show to rest

I have to give it to the Brits. They are the best when it comes to making police dramas. I am a late comer to the likes of "Life on Mars" and" Ashes to Ashes" but I am glad I found it. The ending was the only one that I could have wanted; it gave me hope and ended the show on a great note. Even though it was fantasy, it was the way I would have wanted it to end. Phil Glenister is great in this role and now I have to find his other work and appreciate them. The entire cast delivered fantastic performance. I could follow this program for another 5 years. I will not give any spoilers; I will just say it was a great TV cop show. I hope to see more like this in the future.
