Rating: - Tennison is Greatest cop
Jane Tennyson is a fantasic cop. She is real life and always get her man. This series is one of the best Detecive series ever. I've seen most of the episodes twice and will likely watch again some time.
Top stars to Helen Mirren for her portrayal.
Rating: - Difficult subject

This time, Tennison is trying to uncover the truth about a gay pedophilic ring ... Read More
Rating: - Helen Mirren, the BEST!
Loved Prime Suspect, Season 2
Wish I had known about this series years ago but so glad I did eventually find out about it! I'll get all seasons eventually. GREAT price!
I don't feel like I'm watching TV. I feel like I'm watching a well made movie!
