BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Robert W. Anderson I have been enjoying this show from the first episode; even though I only saw the first episode by mistake. I'm really liking the way Maria Bello is playing this character. The writers put the words in her mouth, but she's the one that makes that character come alive and gives her the finer points of her personality. And unlike one of the other reviewers; I like the hat. Miss Bello is just one of the things that make this show as good as it is. How good is it to see a cast of characters that wasn't cast based on looks. I know it sounds like I'm saying something about the way the members of the cast look; I'm not. I'm just saying they look and act like real people. And they can act; how cool is that. So add it up; good actors, good characters, good writing. How can we lose? We will probably lose soon when then cancel this excellent show. I should have known, many of the shows I like, get it in the neck. Life, and Terriers comes to mind. I've read recently that like many other fine shows in the five to ten years NBC doesn't plan on giving this show a chance to gain an audience.

pdunne Prime Suspect is not the usual cop formula. It is hands down one of the best shows I've ever seen. The writing is brilliant, the acting is off the charts, the characters are drawn so specifically and with such nuance it's difficult to fathom it's written, acted and edited in the short amount of time that television allows. You have to pay attention, it is so intelligently drawn and detailed. The boys' club mentality surrounding Detective Jane Timoney is so accurately portrayed, it's cringe-worthy, but the male characters are also fleshed out to be likable. All the characters are flawed realistically and have to confront those flaws and past mistakes through their relationships with the other characters. The humor comes out of the sometimes dark reality of life. There are many scenes that are so unbelievably hilarious coming out of the situation, I've had to watch them over and over. I can't say enough about this show. It shouldn't be compared to the British series. It's a different show and it should be. They seem to base it on the same plot lines and dealings with sexism, but it's not a remake and it doesn't make any sense to even compare the two shows. They're both great and both stand on their own merits. It's unbelievably delicious.

Filmbrewer With all sorts of shows coming out this year featuring a strong female lead, this one by far has the strongest. She's head-strong, unrelenting, ambitious, driven, willful and carries a duffle bag full of vices which brings a depth to her character rarely seen in cop shows, but makes her very likable as well as human. The show is gritty and feels a bit more realistic than most of the high-tech, ultra-forensic one- man cop shows that seem to come and go every season. It takes a team to catch the bad guys and suspects don't always willingly confess to murder (who would really?) There's tension and rivals among the police and detectives, as well as sexism you'd expect to see in a male dominate New York police force. All in all, this show is very well done with a great cast and believable plot lines. I hope it can find its audience to gather momentum and keep going.

ben_arner I've been a big fan of the British series since it started way back when so was interested to see an American version, I'm still waiting.If your a fan of the original avoid this, all it has in common is 1/ the title, 2/ its a woman trying to make it in a mans world, 3/ her first name (they even changed her surname) Based on it being a "prime suspect" id rate it 1 outta 10, it lacks everything that is good about the British one, every episode is wrapped up neatly after an hr, it lacks the grit an depth of the original and, well, everything but the three things named above.If you watch it not knowing the original series then you'll get your usual formula cop show that seems to be thrown at us from all sides these days and would rate it maybe a 7 based on the first few episodes
