We had seen Prime Suspect: The Final Act (2006) (TV) on PBS’s Masterpiece Contemporary and decided to get the Netflix DVD’s of the past series.
We finished up with Prime Suspect 6: The Last Witness (2003) (TV) last night and I feel it’s the best of the batch. The pace was electric, the plot contorted, the acting exceptional and the overall effect of the political implications more arresting then the others.
Every one of the seven was well above network standards, so even the least effective one was a thrill to watch, even 18 years after the fact.
If you’ve seen the entire group and care to offer a better series than #6, please do.
I can easily recommend the group to anybody who likes a gritty police procedural set in the UK.
