Syl The more I watch Dame Helen Mirren, the more I want to see her reprise the role of DCI Jane Tennison, the no nonsense British detective, who rose the ranks in a man's world by working hard, sacrificing a personal life, etc. In this episode, Jane is determined to solve the crime of two Bosnian Muslim female immigrants and sisters in London. At first, it all seems locked up by the actual murderer. Tennison's hunches are often key in understanding that there is more than meets the eye. The murderer was a soldier and was taking orders but from whom and why? It's a suspenseful episode with great supporting performances by Clare HOlman, Frank Finlay, and Phoebe Nicholls. Finlay's performance as Jane's father is poignant as he recalls liberating a death camp during World War II.

pegd-1 I've watched (and was hooked) the entire series from Day 1...I only wish there were 10 more episodes to look forward to....This series, and this particular episode, set the standard for all TV detective series....I don't like to go into the story line for a couple of reasons...One is to let a new viewer have the full experience without prejudice (I envy you), and two, by not revealing the smallest detail, I add my tiny part of suspense and drama to the work....so no details here....Jane Tennyson and company are superb actors...My coda........Here is quality, intense television melodrama at its best....

Rick Blaine Is this the best of the lot? Those who've seen all of them talk a lot about 1 and 2. I haven't seen them yet. I'm tempted to order all seven on DVD.This is a new format this time. Some things have changed but some things stayed the same. Again it's an intriguing case woven expertly in the lay-up by the writer and the filming team. And in this one perhaps more than in the others I've seen the cinematography is fantastic. Angles as if they're coming out of a Kubrick classic. There is much eye candy in here.So Jane Tennison is back - and she's battling the same bad guys as ever. This time she's surrounded on all sides by the same type of motley crew: the ambitious career types, the slacker types, the mens club types - you know the drill.But the lady's acting never gets boring. Mirren brings something special, something extra to whatever she's in.This one will take you on an exotic journey. And it's not a walk in the park either. If 5 was one of the most intense (of those I've seen) then 6 can't be far behind.As always, on top of all the other excellent work done on this series, you have the star. She's inimitable.

CGA_Soupdragon Just finished watching #6 which was screened in two parts this week on SVT1. Was on the edge of my seat for both episodes.Mirren is, as always, a joy to watch. This riveting story is blessed with a great ending. It felt really good after this one. Quite a lot of thriller/police dramas end without one feeling that justice has been meted out. Here, the main antagonists get their just desserts. And I mean everybody. Especially the woman from the secret service. That look she gives her man at the end is priceless.Beautifully shot and nicely scored. A great bit of telly to be sure. Top marks here!
