Product: Prime Suspect [VHS] (1992)
Rating: 5.0
Brilliant television
Helen Mirren is amazing, as is "Prime Suspect." This series follows the rise of London Police Inspector Jane Tennison, who fights to prove herself in a profession where women get little respect from their male counterparts. In Season 1, Tennison works to bring down a man suspected of torturing, raping, and murdering six young women. Tennison struggles to balance her personal and professional lives with little success as the investigation unravels and her career is on the line. "Prime Suspect" is a riveting, raw series that delivers strong performances and a dramatic, suspenseful plot. This is so much better than many of the horrible crime dramas currently being shown on American television, and even though this show premiered 20 years ago, it's still incredibly relevant. Check it out.
