What a shame the some of the best performances in the entire _Prime Suspect_ series are squandered, owing to a dopey, simplistic script.
Tennison makes about 20 stupid mistakes: releasing an endangered suspect without providing protection or surveillance, histrionically aggressive questioning that somehow neglects many basic points: for example, obvious tactics, such as threatening to spread the word that a detainee has spilled his/her guts and then telling the detainee he/she will be put on the street without any assistance. Made me wish for Kojak to magically appear. I could go on and on, but want to avoid spoilers.
