"Prime Suspect" Last Episode

**BigLittleTim** · 11-20-2006, 10:06 AM

The last episode, ever, of "Prime Suspect" aired in the U.S. last night on P.B.S.

Now, I'm completely biased, as I'm a complete Helen Mirren ("Insector Jane Tennyson") fan; I thought it was not only the best episode of P.S. ever, but one of the best cop dramas ever. Showed a VERY gritty, modern image of Great Britain; council flats, teenaged pregnancy, alcoholism... definitely not "Ye Olde Merry Englande".

Any other Mirren fans? I know she's not a "looker", so she MUST be a good actress.

Helen Mirran was recently voted sexiest woman in the world over 60, even beating Goldie Hawn to the title.

I've never watched much PS unfortunately, though a Touch of Frost and Vincent are very good.

yes I watched the last PS. It was quality. Me and the missis loved it. Agreed Helen Mirren is brilliant in it.

Yeah, that's an Oscar performance.

If Helen Mirren wasn't already a Dame, that role would have snagged it for her. Her portrayal of Queen E II was so sympathetic and powerful... probably did more to shore up the monarchy than anything in recent memory.
