I'm recommending Life on Mars for Alice because both shows deal with police investigations, however Life on Mars deal with a detective who travels from the present to the past.
LoM has a bitter-sweet ending that you would not see coming where Alice had the beginning where you are like "Ok, what effect does this have on the future."
