ndasny Review of Prime Suspect

Prime Suspect (2011–2012)

would have more appeal if storylines were updated for the times

[6/10 · 19 March 2024]

I loved the original British version. The city setting is great for the tough female lead. However, I find myself being annoyed by all male cast of wise cracks. They are not funny and the all male crew is neither realistic or appealing. The first scenes of a brutally murdered female body -- is that really necessary expect as a fuzzy background? I'm not into the casual gore anymore. With the prevalence of cop shows, the shock value of the bloody female body is just artless. Overall, the wisecracks and toughness seem to mask a lack of depth of character. There's too many other shows to catch up on.
