    Prey is at its least inventive when it comes to actual police work--there’s no shortage of CCTV footage to help her along, and the number of high-octane chases end up straining credibility. But in spite of that, Prey is decently made, well-acted, and shameless enough in pilfering from The Fugitive and every other British police procedural to just about get away with it.

The average programming fromAlthough "Prey" may not be the prime of the UK police dramas it is exciting and enjoyable on a visceral level. The average programming from the UK is still heads and shoulders above anything on the broadcast networks in the US. The acting is excellent even though the dialogue is not quite tight enough. I enjoy the cat and mouse play between the characters. Fun to watch.… Full Review »
