Prime Suspect (Serial)

Helen Mirren is fabulous as Jane Tennison, an inspector and then superintendent in the British police. Over the course of 7 seasons, she moves around (London, Manchester) and moves up the ranks. But what doesn't change is her command of the case (she dominates any room she is in) and her personal struggles with relationships, alcohol, family, etc. Mirren does not play this as a person who is fabulous at work and then struggles at home. She is fabulous and struggles simultaneously throughout. Bravo.

4 stars (out of 5)
