Prime Suspect 1
Helen Mirren (Teaching Mrs. Tingle/Gosford Park) introduces the character of Detective Chief Inspector Jane Tennison in the first of the series PRIME SUSPECT, which aired on PBS in January 1992. There will be five series in all, with a sixth currently set to air in the summer of 2004. When a young woman is found brutally murdered and the DCI in charge is unable to take up the case, it is passed to Jane Tennison, the first female DCI to handle such responsibility. Between a slippery suspect and resistance from her team of detectives, Tennison has her hands full. But she's got the strength to take them all on.

rating: 4
OK, let's take a 50-something, not-so-pretty lady. Let's make her a top crime unit detective. Let's make her drink, smoke, sleep with married men, and give hell to her male colleagues and superiors. Finally, let's make her the heroin of a TV series. OK, at that point you know you're not in the US anymore... And you're right. Welcome to the BBC and to one very real[istic] detective show. Helen Mirren is one a few actresses that could make you care about such an anti-hero character. And she does. Her uncompromising, in-your-face ways are primarily aimed at putting an end to the activities of very, very bad guys. And we do like her ways in that context. We are even prepared to take the emotional package that comes with them. The "Prime Suspect" series is neither suitable for kids, nor young or faint-of-heart adults. But it provides other interested viewers with a prime window on the professional and personal pressures of those who combat the most heinous types of crime. This type of TV show is one of the reasons why the BBC has often been copied but never really matched.

Storytelling at it's finest. Helen Mirren's performance in Prime Suspect was the springboard for Kyra Sedgewick's "Closer" and Holly Hunter's "Saving Grace". The first lady of this genre.
