    Well, it was better than bad is about all I can say for this first season. I dig English cop shows, this rates a 6. If you're waiting around for a big payoff, you're going to be dissapointed.

    Although "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.

    If you are looking for a 'Prime Suspect' replacement, this is not going to do it. The plot is something we've all seen before so there's nothing new here. The production values are decent, the acting is very good, and the story is more than a bit stupid. There were many times when I could not believe that the protagonist or the police were that idiotic. I would yell at the screen inIf you are looking for a 'Prime Suspect' replacement, this is not going to do it. The plot is something we've all seen before so there's nothing new here.

I'm very happy it was only 3 episodes long and, I will not be watching season 2.… Expand

    Despite its familiar premise, Prey is an engrossing, dynamic series, a testament to the sturdiness of the tropes it’s driven by as well as Lunt’s ability to play with and execute ideas so many have others explored.

    Series creator and writer Chris Lunt’s plots are more comfort food than cutting-edge, but not since Helen Mirren’s epic run in “Prime Suspect” has there been such a flawed, compelling female detective.

    These episodes hold interest without being riveting. But Cavaliero is compelling as a dogged, under pressure gumshoe who in this case might remind some seasoned TV watchers of Lt. Philip Gerard from The Fugitive.
