Loving this series

This episode was by far the best of the series (so far!). Shame they're saving the best episodes until last, as lots of people gave up after the first two episodes. Well, you're loss. The opening episode's setting up of the story have really reaped rewards here. Episode 2 picked up the pace, then Episode 3 was brilliant, but episode 4 was even better. Jane suddenly becomes the Jane Tennison we know from Helen Mirren's Prime Suspect series. Real steel in her performance. Stefanie Martini silences any doubters in this episode. She gives a brilliant turn.

I can't wait for the next episode. Shame there's only 2 more to go. Surely a second series is in the offing? This is going to win awards, it's so good.

Edge of my seat

I was on the edge of my seat throughout this episode. One of the best hours of TV I've seen in ages. It's so well crafted, written and acted. Loving how the character of Jane is developing through this series. At first I thought "That's not Helen Mirren". But from episode 3 onwards, I've started to see what the writers, cast and programme makers are up to. This is about what happens to Jane to make her into Helen Mirren.

Now this episode is amazing. I wanted to see more of Oz and Flowers. I guess my only criticism is, as we don't have a "prime suspect" in the whole series, every episode has a different suspect, which is great and keeps it ticking along, but it means we don't get much time to spend with each person. But that's a minor nitpick. Basically, give us more is what I'm saying.

This is shaping up to be one of the smartest, well plotted crime dramas I've seen on ITV in ages. An old school epic crime series. Worth a binge. You won't be disappointed.
