Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!

Btexxamar I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Board I'm a subtitler by profession, and I subtitled 12 episodes of this show, so I spent quite a lot of time with each episode. This show has what you would expect of a Hollywood show: Decent acting, good production and okay scripts. The problem is that it's no different than a million other crime shows: A murder has been committed. The cops come in, investigate and find the killer. Every episode has two options: Either the prime suspect, who they find quite quickly, did it, or he/she didn't do it, and then it was someone random who they find at the very end of the episode. Most other crime shows are like that too, but "Prime Suspect" is simply not very thrilling or very surprising. The criminals usually give up very quickly – probably simply because the script writers couldn't come up with any convincing methods for making them confess. As is the norm nowadays, the show also features some details about the main character's personal life.If you want to watch investigations of police cases, then "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" is much better scripted and has more intricate plot turns. If you want to watch shows like that with details about the main characters' personal lives, then "The closer" is much better. Both are a lot more believable. Yes, they are just as predictable (they always catch the bad guys), but none of the criminals give up just because the cops say "we know you did it" or whatever. The scripts for those two shows are simply better – and it's actually quite impressive that a show like "Special Victims Unit" still has good scripts, as it has been running for 13 years now.

diggus doggus Prime Suspect is a great TV show, and i would not complain if someone loudly proclaimed it worth of a 7/10 or 8/10; but it's not that good.The main character("Jane Timoney",Maria Bello)'s struggles with life in the force and her own humanity (trying to quit cigarettes, trying to fit in with "the boys") are close to reality than most shows but don't really make for an engrossing character, and while well acted throughout, the show lacks any real punch compared to the - now sadly cancelled - Chicago Code and other, similar police dramas - Jane's just a cop, and that's that.The show's plot lines are nothing to write home about either, with hardly any suspense, twists, or hints of unusual writing going on in the series - which could also use some stronger underlying theme than just "end of the day, back to the bar".So, great show, amusing for the easily amused, but for the more cynical - or more demanding, Prime Suspect not only fails to soar, but shows little promise for future developments. My vote: 6/10Great to pass some time, but it's OK to miss an episode or two.

peterclik First off, the casting in Prime Suspect is excellent. Maria Bello is outstanding as the lead character, showing all the grit necessary to pull off the role with class and realism. What's truly outstanding is how Bello borrows nothing from Mirren's British adaptation, instead relying on her own interpretation of the flawed - yet gifted investigator Jane Timoney entirely. In short, this woman has some serious acting chops.Her supporting actors are also brilliantly cast. Kirk Acevedo, a favorite of mine since OZ, gave weight to my initial interest in the show, and I'm glad he did. Should also add that the camaraderie between Acevedo and Tim Griffin is refreshing and portrayed very naturally, not at all contrived like so many other 'buddy' teams on NBC and other networks. (See the Hawaii 5-0 buddy team for a great example of contrived, forced, and utterly horrid 'buddy' performances) All in all I really can't say enough about the casting director. Obviously he/she is at the top of his/her game and we're all the better for having a proper ensemble to unveil some pretty compelling storytelling.Speaking of the storytelling, every episode (I'm up to the latest - 6) are all based firmly in reality, the procedural aspects are depicted spot on and quite in line with how an investigation is actually run by most big city police departments. In fact the realism is most of why this show is so refreshing, as it seems to purposefully avoid the typical clichés present in other police drama/procedural (see: CSI) But alas, since this show was cursed enough to be picked up by NBC, I fully expect the corporate 'Talent Assassins' will be released from their dungeons soon enough to summarily kill this fine show from their line up of otherwise useless crud, thereby making room for some unoriginal trash. Perhaps we're finally in for the premiere of 'Real Housewives of Afghanistan' as it's replacement.Yes, unfortunately I fully expect Prime Suspect to go the way of Trauma, Detroit 187, The Chicago Code, The Unusuals, and of course, Dinosaurs. So bloody unfortunate for the networks to continually tease audiences with quality and talent, only to have it fall away before having been given a proper chance, consistently replaced by retarded nonsense. Even more unfortunate that Prime Suspect is on NBC, as they seem to have the worst record out of all the networks for leveling the death blow ax to truly quality TV.

Filmbrewer With all sorts of shows coming out this year featuring a strong female lead, this one by far has the strongest. She's head-strong, unrelenting, ambitious, driven, willful and carries a duffle bag full of vices which brings a depth to her character rarely seen in cop shows, but makes her very likable as well as human. The show is gritty and feels a bit more realistic than most of the high-tech, ultra-forensic one- man cop shows that seem to come and go every season. It takes a team to catch the bad guys and suspects don't always willingly confess to murder (who would really?) There's tension and rivals among the police and detectives, as well as sexism you'd expect to see in a male dominate New York police force. All in all, this show is very well done with a great cast and believable plot lines. I hope it can find its audience to gather momentum and keep going.
