    Martini was a solid pick. ... As for the stories inside Prime Suspect: Tennison, they hold up because they are gruesomely complicated (the murder of a 17-year-old girl that hardens Tennison) and ambitious (mob shenanigans in the B-storyline that also serve to slowly hone Tennison's deductive skills, which are innately there when we meet her). As a standalone series, this might be a letdown, but as the beginning of a separate journey and an ongoing exploration, it's full of promise.

    The '70s costume and production details are fine, but when you're paying more attention to the classic rock tunes on the soundtrack than to the story, it's time to close the case.

    Delivering what one is almost afraid to expect: first-rate acting, a solid sense of period and a multi-pronged storyline rife with those uncanny-yet-somehow-plausible coincidences native to the well-plotted 19th-century novel.
