Prime Suspect: Series 1 (1991) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Helen Mirren stars as Chief Inspector Jane Tennison in this dramatic BBC miniseries.
A serial killer is at large, and Tennison inherits the mantle of investigating the lead suspect. While certain elements of the story are largely predictable, there is also an unexpected element of surprise with the way the tale unfolds. Mirren adds a definitive credibility to the vulnerable character of Tennison, struggling for any reasonable work/life balance, and she proves to be the most interesting sleuth to come out of England since Sherlock Holmes.
Time Magazine voted this, in its initial airing, the second most important television event of the year ... right behind Johnny Carson's farewell show. A must viewing for serious fans of mystery genre.

Oscar® Winner Helen Mirren is Detective Jane Tennison, "perhaps the greatest role and performance of a female police detective, ever" (San Francisco Chronicle), in a series that won more than 20 major international awards and raised the bar for police dramas.
In the opening series, DCI Tennison seizes the opportunity to head a murder investigation -- something she should have done long ago, had she not been passed over by her male superiors time and again. With a suspect already identified and her own team openly hostile, she uncovers errors and conflicting facts that point to a cover-up within the force. Is this a single murder or the latest act of a serial killer? Tennison refuses to back off the investigation.
Guest stars include Tom Wilkinson (Michael Clayton, In the Bedroom, Ralph Fiennes (The English Patient, Schindler's List), and Zoë Wanamaker (Poirot).
