No Closed Caption for the hard of hearing or deaf. Mumble mania. Good actors in an odd script. Sounded like it was filmed in a really busy restaurant kitchen. Just my opinion.

Helen Mirrin's breakthrough movie series.

I can't believe it took me 23 years to watch this. The writing holds up incredibly well.

The hostility, deceit and disharmony of the players was too much for me. While much of that was present in the Prime Suspect Tennison, the protagonists were more friendly. This episode gave me no pleasure and I cancelled the other holds.

In addition to good writing and great acting, these two episodes are great history. Women in positions of power today owe their success to women who fought the good fight years ago. The reaction and passive aggressive response to a woman…

A compelling plot, great characters --- and Helen Mirren. Five stars.

DCI Jane Tennyson is the foremother of all the hard-boiled women detectives working to make it in the male-dominated world of investigation. Is Jane flawed? Exquisitely so. Is she dogged and smart? You bet. And she solves the crimes with…

Very good series. Helen Mirren is excellent (just a little self-involved)! I'm looking forward to season 2.

Saw this when it originally came out. This is where I discovered Helen Mirren. Am watching entire series again before I watch the finale they recently did. Wasn't even tempted to watch U. S. tv version as I knew no one could do it…

Helen Mirren in a 1991 detective show. I enjoyed it and have the next series in the queue.

Mirren plays a character that isn't very sympathetic, but does it just as well as always. The cases are interesting.

This is a great series, with outstanding writing and atmosphere, and above all, Helen Mirren plays it perfectly. EVERY minute of these 3.5 hours is riveting.

One of the finest detective series ever. Helen Mirren is of course brilliant as the flawed Detective Chief Inspector Jane Tennison. The stories, the production, and the supporting casts are all second to none. Sadly "Prime Suspect" is…
