Original Zone 2 (UK) discs.
Set comprises of Prime Suspect 1 - 5 (digipack edition, as shown in picture), together with a single disc (Prime Suspect 6 - The Last Witness, packaged in a standard amray case).
The box set contains the first five Prime Suspect crime dramas, which star Helen Mirren as detective chief inspector Jane Tennison. The original story, first aired in 1991, was written by Lynda La Plante and established a compelling template--grisly murders, fascinating operational details, well-written characters and believable domestic drama.
In 2003, Mirren reprised her role for Prime Suspect 6 (the stand-alone disc also offered in this sale).
This is truly Police Drama at its best. No Hollywood explosions, or tanned/musclebound/siliconed actors, simply gritty drama that feels as real as it can get. The plots are gripping and not plagued by too many Dickensian twists or coincidences. The actors are a combination of the famous and the not so famous, some indeed went on to bigger things at a later date. Sometimes Jane does not get her man and sometimes the obvious suspect (hence title) turns out to be the killer, however the path to get there, even at some of the 3.5 hour films keeps you riveted to the end.
You want proof? Watch the very first one. The eventual culprit can outcreep Hannibal Lecter any day...
A total running time of over 20 hours
