this season 7 was everything i expected and more. great dialog, tense scenes, building of characters and climatic surprises. i only hate that this is the LAST one!
May 17, 2008I loved the Midsomer Murders series (also British), so I thought I might like this. However, the setting is in the inner city slum areas and the star actress is an alcoholic, so the film was extremely depressing. Unless this wouldn't bother you, give it a pass.
April 23, 2008 |  | A memorable and heart-breaking conclusion to one of the best crime series ever |  |
2007 Emmy Award Winner for Outstanding Directing for a Miniseries, Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries, and Outstanding Writing for a Miniseries, Prime Suspect 7: The Final Act is as dynamic, brilliantly written, directed, paced, and acted as the rest of the series that started in 1991. The Final Act is filled with the unexpected plot turns and introduces interesting complex characters. Prime Suspect 7 was dedicated to the memory of Tom Bell (Otley) who returned as Sergeant Bill Otley and who died two weeks before the episode was screened. As in all Prime Suspects, Helen Mirren owns the screen as Detective Superintendent Jane Tennison working on her last case before retirement. This time, Jane investigates the missing of a 14-year-old girl while struggling with her alcoholism and coping with her father's death from incurable cancer. She dedicated all her life, talent, energy, and heart to her work where she had proved to be the best but the price she paid is incredibly high. The Final Act introduces a young actress Laura Greenwood (born in 1991) as 14 years old Penny. The scenes she shares with Mirren are "nothing short of phenomenal," according to David Bianculli of the New York Daily News, and I hope that her following roles will be as impressive as her first work next to one of the greatest modern actresses.

As was expected; superb acting, storyline and production.It goes to show that the quality of British television drama has not lost it's edge and is still the best.
January 26, 2008Helen Mirren is probably one of today's finest actors and she shines in this one once again. The plot is superb and extremely believable unlike the majority of CSI and similar American series. The actors are real live people not at all like computer generated dummies. All round a great DVD.
