Ashes to Ashes: The TV Show that Healed but also Broke My Heart

Philip Glenister as DCI Gene Hunt and Keeley Hawes as DI Alex Drake.

This week, my first essay for Film East was published! I wrote about Ashes to Ashes (2008-2010), my all time favourite TV show, and why it healed but also broke my heart - something it continues to do as I near my 10th rewatch of the show from start to finish. And I'm sure it's no surprise that my favourite show includes Keeley Hawes as one of the main characters!

A snippet of the essay.

Anyway, I feel very strongly about this show and its characters, and it's another example of Keeley Hawes' insane acting talent. If you'd like to read the article, the link is here.
