Prime
Suspect Series One 8/10
I was
talking to Cam weeks ago about this show called Prime Suspect and
once I heard who the star was I knew I was gonna watch it. I just had
to wait for the right time since I am not super into crime shows. But
I am into crime shows from overseas. In England they have very few
episodes per season, or series as they call them, so they can not
waste time with bullshit. This show is hardcore by the way. They show
nude mutilated ass bodies and they get all up in their business. This
season has just two episodes that are each the length of a movie.
Jane Tennison is good at her job but looked over because of her
gender. That's pretty much it. The place is full of dudes who shit on
her and it gets even worse when after the death of the chief
detective she is promoted. They, like, obviously don't like her
specifically one guy who is straight out of a villain handbook.
There
is an investigation into the murder of a young woman. The guy that is
accused is George Marlow. After a minute I immediately knew that this
guy was the killer. And if he wasn't the killer he needed to be
arrested anyway because he was guilty of something. He was so damn
shifty. When Tennison talks to his common law wife she defends him
even though it seems like she knows something is up with him. They
barge into his house and arrest him he gets off. They bring him into
a lineup and he gets off. The lineup scene was funny. This woman was
inches away from a room full of guys she thinks may be a raping ass
killer. Still he gets off. More bodies start turning up and he and
his lady are on the run now. Tennison's man is like “You don't
spend enough time with me! Whah!” Bitch! She is trying to stop a
killer! She ain't got time to be climbing on top of you, making
dinner, helping with your weird ass son, and solve murder most foul.
I was
kind of bummed out how this season ended because my reaction went
from “Catch that bastard!” to “Oh...that's it?” It seemed to
wrap up really fast but I get it because there is only so much time
in the season. There are some questions I have regarding the behavior
of some of the higher ups at her place and why they were hiding bits
of important information from her and seeming to help the damn
killer. I was like “Do you wanna catch this guy or not?!” It is
cool watching cop shows when cell phones weren't around and people
are stepping all over crime scenes. Check this out. There are seven
damn seasons.
