Oscar winner Helen Mirren is Detective Jane Tennison, "one of the great character creations of our time" (The Washington Post), in a series that won more than 20 major international awards and raised the bar for police dramas.
Tenacious, driven, and deeply flawed, Tennison rises through the ranks of Britain’s Metropolitan Police, solving horrific crimes while battling office sexism and her own demons. “Rare is the drama that works so well on two levels: as a crackling whodunit and as a finely tuned character study of a strong but insecure woman trying to prove herself in a man’s world” (Time).
Seen on Masterpiece Theatre and Mystery! and created by crime writer Lynda La Plante, Prime Suspect features some of Britain’s biggest stars, including Ralph Fiennes (The English Patient), Tom Wilkinson (Michael Clayton), Zoë Wanamaker (Poirot), David Thewlis (Harry Potter), Mark Strong (Sherlock Holmes), Ciarán Hinds (Jane Eyre), Tom Bell (Reilly: Ace of Spies), and Jonny Lee Miller (Trainspotting).

When Prime Suspect debuted in 1991, Helen Mirren already had a long, storied career. Lead roles with the Royal Shakespeare Company in the ’60s and ’70s led to the big screen, everything from the gangster classic The Long Good Friday to one of the grand bombs of all time, Penthouse publisher Bob Guccione’s art/porn/terrible Caligula. But 15 years and seven series later, her role as television’s Jane Tennison would end up being the defining one of her career. Well, until she won an Oscar for playing the Queen.![Prime Suspect (1991–2006) - The Complete Collection [2010] [ReUp]](https://pixhost.icu/avaxhome/4e/05/0022054e_medium.jpeg)

Prime Suspect is TV at its best, with sharp writing, intricate stories, and a great actress inhabiting a fantastic character. Mirren’s Tennison is complicated and flawed: ambitious, difficult, career-obsessed, a great detective with a personal life in shambles. (She was nominated for Emmys for six of the seven series and won for two, and in 2007 the show was named one of TIME magazine’s 100 best shows of all time.) The supporting cast is rock solid as well, with guest appearances from actors like Ralph Fiennes, Mark Strong (Sherlock Holmes‘s Lord Blackwood), Ciaran Hinds (Rome‘s Caesar), and David Thewlis (Remus Lupin in the Harry Potters and the poisonous antihero of Naked), along with lots of great lesser-knowns.![Prime Suspect (1991–2006) - The Complete Collection [2010] [ReUp]](https://pixhost.icu/avaxhome/4f/05/0022054f_medium.jpeg)

Each series is made up of two or three 100-minute episodes, usually concerning a single crime, and with every episode as long as a movie, there’s plenty of room for depth. Along with Tennison’s story — sexism and corruption on the force, disastrous relationships, aging, alcoholism — the murders she confronts unearth larger topics, like racial tensions with London’s West Indian immigrants, child prostitution, and Bosnian war crimes.![Prime Suspect (1991–2006) - The Complete Collection [2010] [ReUp]](https://pixhost.icu/avaxhome/50/05/00220550_medium.jpeg)

The show certainly changed over its 15-year run, and improved as it matured. The early series look murky, but by the last and best the cinematography and production values are as good as a feature film, and Tennison’s last stand is as complex and engaging as anything you’ll see in a theater. But from the beginning the show broke ground with its gritty displays of bodies and crime scenes, the blood and brains that made CSI the king of television a decade later.![Prime Suspect (1991–2006) - The Complete Collection [2010] [ReUp]](https://pixhost.icu/avaxhome/51/05/00220551_medium.jpeg)

Collected for the first time, this edition includes all 15 episodes of the show on nine DVDs, 25 hours of classic cop procedural with Mirren at the top of her game. But with a $125 list price, you’d hope to see something more from the package. The print is unremarkable (the first three series look like they were dubbed off an old videotape) and the extras are barely there, just a 50-minute behind-the-scenes special on the show, a 23-minute featurette on Series 6, a photo gallery, and cast filmographies, all from previous releases.![Prime Suspect (1991–2006) - The Complete Collection [2010] [ReUp]](https://pixhost.icu/avaxhome/52/05/00220552_medium.jpeg)

Prime Suspect was a huge hit in the UK, and though it aired on PBS it’s still mostly unknown in the States. But any fan of police procedurals with smart writing, strong characters, and Oscar-worthy acting should have it right at the top of their lists. Like a great movie, these episodes are worth watching again and again. It’s too bad that The Complete Collection doesn’t bring anything new to the table. Fortunately, the show is enough.

Detective Chief Inspector Jane Tennison is an intense, driven, flawed alcoholic who meets sexism and harassment on the job with determination and a sense of political saavy. Not only is she technically shrewd, she is also a fine, highly intuitive detective who feels her way toward the truth, occasionally stumbling over her personal and professional faults - all of which make her one of the most convincing and indelible fictional detectives ever portrayed. Through the seven installments of Prime Suspect, Helen Mirren shapes this complex character, making an equally exorbitant investment in Tennison's self-destructive tendencies and her talent for police work.![Prime Suspect (1991–2006) - The Complete Collection [2010] [ReUp]](https://pixhost.icu/avaxhome/54/05/00220554_medium.jpeg)

This series of seven long, multi-part films, originally broadcast on ITV in the UK and on PBS's Masterpiece Theatre here in the US, comprise no less than some of the finest crime drama ever televised. Although there are traces of the great British traditions of crime fiction here and there, Prime Suspect has a distinctive style marked by a focus on character and dire, bleak atmospherics. Gray skies, concrete police buildings and housing estates, and the fluorescent lights of cheap offices and municipal morgues are the visual signals that tell us we're neck-deep in police work. Yet it's a far more grim and realistic look than the brighter colors of, say, Law and Order.![Prime Suspect (1991–2006) - The Complete Collection [2010] [ReUp]](https://pixhost.icu/avaxhome/55/05/00220555_medium.jpeg)

But the real distinguishing features of all seven series of Prime Suspect are the writing and the acting. Creator Lynda La Plante wrote the first and third installments, establishing the major characters and tone of the show. Tennison is an outsider, a woman working in a man's world, a fact that drives her professional successes just as it contributes to regular flare-ups of her personal flaws. Particularly during the earlier series, Tennison is beset by a variety of forces that plague her career, originating in the criminal world and among her own colleagues. Prime Suspect's second major character, appearing in the first, third, and seventh series, is Tennison's chief antagonist and colleague, Detective Sergeant Bill Otley, played with a cadaverous, withering smarminess by Tom Bell. Sexist, treacherous, and threatened by Tennison's talent, Otley works hard through the first and third series to discredit Tennison, hoping to have her removed from his supervision. Otley's adversarial - and, at times, outright illegal - behavior drives Tennison to further excel at her job - and to drink excessively off-duty. Her relationships with men, at times healthy and at times not, are always short-lived, thanks to her professional commitment and dependence upon booze.![Prime Suspect (1991–2006) - The Complete Collection [2010] [ReUp]](https://pixhost.icu/avaxhome/56/05/00220556_medium.jpeg)

Mirren and Bell are joined by a parade of fine actors in roles both large and small. Tom Wilkinson appears in the first series as Tennison's kind but ultimately defeated boyfriend. Ralph Fiennes is in it as well, but too briefly to merit the placement his name receives on the DVD packaging. The third series alone includes performances by David Thewlis, Ciaran Hinds, Mark Strong, and Jonny Lee Miller. Frank Finlay appears in the last two installments as Tennison's father. In short, much of the first rank of contemporary British actors makes their way through the series at some point.![Prime Suspect (1991–2006) - The Complete Collection [2010] [ReUp]](https://pixhost.icu/avaxhome/57/05/00220557_medium.jpeg)

The storylines of each installment of Prime Suspect are consistently compelling and often genuinely unpredictable, particularly by the standards of the average crime drama. The first series begins with a relatively straightforward rape and murder, but the suspect is anything but usual: when Tennison first catches up with George Marlow (played by John Bowe), his guilt is anything but clear. We are unsure whether Marlow is the killer, or if Tennison's ambition has gotten the better of her. In addition to the usual murder or two, future series attack pressing and touchy social issues such as racism, child prostitution, drugs and gangs, and war crimes stemming from the Yugoslav Wars of the 1990s. In each case, plots move swiftly and are often ingeniously constructed. Only very occasionally do the machinations of the mystery genre reveal their cogs and wheels.![Prime Suspect (1991–2006) - The Complete Collection [2010] [ReUp]](https://pixhost.icu/avaxhome/58/05/00220558_medium.jpeg)

But the real heart and soul of Prime Suspect is Mirren as Jane Tennison. It's the tension she generates as an unpredictable but brilliant loose cannon that keeps us riveted to each and every minute of this outstanding series. Tennison's flaws - her alcoholism, occasional irrationality, and her struggle with double-edged "female" instincts - keep the character on the fence, hovering between blockbuster success and the danger of failure. We can't always predict that she'll do the right thing - and even when she chooses the proper path, her behavior upon it can be reckless and self-destructive in the pursuit of solving a case, proving a point, or simply spiting antagonistic colleagues such as the intolerant and dangerous Otley. In maintaining our interest in Tennison, her missteps are as important as her wiser maneuvers. They keep her human, plausible, and accessible.![Prime Suspect (1991–2006) - The Complete Collection [2010] [ReUp]](https://pixhost.icu/avaxhome/59/05/00220559_medium.jpeg)

The complex, dark character of Jane Tennison, as portrayed by the incomparable Helen Mirren, makes Prime Suspect one of the finest detective dramas ever produced. Only the lackluster technical presentation prevents me placing this set in the Collector's Series. Still, the show is an absolute must-see. Highly Recommended.
