It was a great series, or in US terms a series of TV movies. More of a thowback is series run to Columbo and McCloud, as Prime Suspect did about four 90-minute episodes a year. The first one had a very young Ralph Fiennes as the boyfriend of the victim. Tons of now well-known British actors did those shows.Hollywood tried to do an official version for years, first with Helen, then recast with someone younger. They finally found a way for it to work, via a clone. They incorporated more comedic elements, and it's "The Closer" on TNT.However "Prime Suspect" is a hard-nosed, no comedy, bleak show, and of course Helen is fantastic.------later-----m
