Product: Prime Suspect [VHS] (1992)
Rating: 5.0
Great Writing - Great Performance
If a tv series is going to be gruesome and be about crime, let it at least be of the quality of Prime Suspect. Helen Mirren is perfection in the role of Jane Tennsion and the writing is superb. The length of the episodes allows for good character and plot development. Someone already said riveting. I totally agree. I've had to dole the episodes out to myself and not gobble them up all on one long, rainy weekend. i'm not much for crime dramas, but this is the best I've seen. Quality much appreciated. And it's so British. It makes our crime dramas look...you know, like totally dumb.
