I let about 4-5 years go by before another session with Prime Suspect 1. And every single time it holds up for its plot, its originality, its underlying domestic upheavals and its politics.
Helen Mirren is brilliant. Frazzled. Stressed. And with genius lurking in those eyes. Dogged in her pursuit. Making it, way back then, in a completely male universe.
I've watched it 4 times now. And it engages me from beginning to end.
The supporting cast are outstanding. Watch for very young Ralph Fiennes cutting his acting teeth on a bit part.
Always a 10/10 from me.
Groundbreaking.
