40 - Prime Suspect (ep. 1 & 2)

Don't you just hate it when you enter a room knowing everyone pretty much hates you? Such is the predicament of DCI Jane Tennison as a lone female lead investigator during a male-dominant time of law enforcement.

While Helen Mirren's character is as tough as nails, Prime Suspect doesn't hide the human side of her momentary bouts of weakness or confusion. But alas, she is always able to regroup and move forward. Just watch Helen's eyes and see how easily she switches from despair to tenacity.

It wouldn't surprise me if a lot of today's shows in criminology took notes from this series.
