Needs subtitles
As an American, I would love to be able to understand the dialogue. All the stories are very good, but the language is a problem. The only person I can understand most of the time is Helen Mirren.

Superlative Dramatic Entertainment
Helen Mirren is the commsumate actress in all seven years of this well-paced and excellently directed series, and along with superbly cast supporting character actors, this season is no exception.

Brilliant!
I have seen this episode twice and never tire of the
story or the acting..the characterizations are nothing
short of brilliant starting of course with dame helen
mirren..there have been few actresses of this calibre
in the british cinema for ages..the supporting cast are
equally believable and moreso in some cases..e.g. the
black boy Michael did a magnificent job as the criminal
he was portraying. Andlast but not least Daniel Mackintosh was superb as the pyschopathic killer, the
Street..he has quite an acting history for one reasonably
young..one noteaable contrast was his protrayal of the
very young and bewildered pilot in Memphis Belle.

A work of cinematic art
I originally watched the series 5 episodes while in London on the BBC. I was enthralled by the depth of the characters and the real life portrayal of the events. Helen Mirren is in a class by herself. "The Street" is one of the best "bad guys" ever created, cocky, bold and brutal. This series may be too realistic for some, it can be a little disturbing at times. Best cop series I have ever seen.

Prime Suspect#6
Just love Helen Mirren. I have them all. I wish there were more. She is a striving woman in a men's world.
