Prime Suspect Premieres on NBC on September 22, 2011
If being a homicide detective in New York isn't tough enough, having to contend with a male-dominated police department to get respect makes it that much tougher. And that's exactly what Jane Timoney has to do. She's an outsider who was just transferred to a new precinct where a fraternity of cops isn't willing to give her the benefit of the doubt - especially given the way they think she got the job after an illicit affair with her boss.
Jane is by no means perfect, and with her own vices and questionable past she can be forceful, willful, rude, and downright reckless. She's also a brilliant cop with an uncanny ability to see what others miss, and get inside a criminal's head like no one else. While she wouldn't admit it, she wants the respect of the men in her life - including her commanding officer, her fellow detectives, and her complicated boyfriend and his young son - but above all, she keeps her eye on one thing: the prime suspect.
From director Peter Berg (Friday Night Lights) comes the re-imagining of the British television hit starring Maria Bello (The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, A History of Violence, The Cooler) as the tough-as-nails detective who doesn't know when to quit. Homepage

This was an average start until they staked out the wrong address and then the chase was great but that was some beating Jane got trying to arrest him and on a side note in the UK when you hear police sirens you pull over and not drive head on to them Author: arksongbird80 Time: 9-25-2011 03:40 Subject: Reply 6#6 codebreaker's post
In the US you're suppose to pull over and let them pass.....
This was okay but nothing more than just average. I bet the UK version is much better.... Author: bala Time: 9-25-2011 11:55 Subject: Reply 6#6 codebreaker's post
Yeah it was but are we really suppose to feel sorry for her at least with the closer Brenda was hated from the start but it wasn't as bad as these guys. Did anyone else think it was a bit odd that there's only 1 female detective when on other show there are more than 1. It kind felt rather old fashioned since it's not 1990's it's 2011 i highly doubt there this much sexism in the US police department in 2011 so how do they expect us to relate to it?.

Seriously. I was just thinking I could let this one go. The mean guy is just too mean. The exwife about the kid is over the top. Maria Bello is doing a great job but everything around her is just too much. I don't like how some of the undercurrents are pushing the crime out of the storyline.

Duffy is a real pain in the ass and Jane was lucky to spot the doll on the floor but the other guy killing him self when he knew the child was safe was pointless but he did come close to hurting the other girl Author: gypsiegirl66 Time: 10-2-2011 15:00 Subject: Reply 8#8 bala's post
I am probably not going to watch this show, the trailer looked pretty lame and the posts here make it seem like it is not worth my time.
I did however want to reply to an earlier post of yours. The trailer stated that there are only 6,000 detectives in the NYPD.
Since there are approximately 36,000 police officers in the entire NYPD, and women make up only 15% of that number. That's about 5,400 female officers total, most of who are not detectives. The NYPD has 76 precincts scattered throughout the 5 burrows, and each precinct has different detective units (squads), homicide, vice, special victims, robbery, etc... Plus the detective command divisions, and the citywide detective units. It makes sense that not all units (including homicide), will have a female detective in it. I actually feel the writers doing this, makes it more realistic than shows that have a female on every squad just because it is politically correct.
My brother-in law is a NYC mounted cop, believe me there is a lot of sexism in the NYPD, in fact there is a lot of sexism in most police depts. especially metropolitan police depts. When a woman is added to an all male squad, she will be given a much harder time than a man. Even newly added men are given a hard time, but nothing like woman are. Most woman in the police dept. don't want to rock the boat and cry sexual harassment, unless they want to be frozen out and not have their backs watched. For the most part, women put up with it until they prove that they are a valued member of the squad and can carry their own weight. In the case of this woman, having the members of the squad believe that she got the job by laying on her back, it may take a long while before she earns their trust. It may not be right, but it is just the way it is.
This episode was so much better. Mostly because it was all about solving the case and not about the squad being jerks.
The robbery, good side story line, but it kinda fizzled.... Author: yogina101 Time: 10-7-2011 12:12 Subject: prime suspect not working?
For some reason, this show isn't working for me. Anyone else having this problem? Author: bala Time: 10-7-2011 12:18 Subject: Reply 16#16 gypsiegirl66's post
Wow sorry i didn't respond sooner just been busy for last couple of weeks but i am surprised at what you stated because Equal opportunities in work place i thought that this wasn't a problem in police force. . I suppose i don't know facts i just basis my opinion of tv shows like the closer and castle and the mentalist etc. Author: codebreaker Time: 10-11-2011 10:57 Subject: 1x03 Bitch

I felt that was sad it did look like he trying but i am not surprised he did kill himself but it was rather sad that the cop made him do that and how they justified it was sad. Author: bala Time: 10-15-2011 09:24 Subject: Gone to Pieces
Not a very interesting episode it was rather average but ex-wife trying uninvited her to her kids birthday party was mean. I used the flash site since real player links are not working. Author: codebreaker Time: 10-18-2011 07:04 Subject: 1x04 Great Guy, Yet Dead
Allowing the kid to jump was a bad idea but the way they described his fall was amusing Author: bwestbroker Time: 10-26-2011 19:28 Subject: Unattractive lead
I wish they'd do SOMETHING to make this woman less unattractive.They have destroyed any possibility of liking her when they have her plop on an ugly man's hat,no makeup,hair is always crappy and yet they'd like us to believe she has a boyfriend??How about at least a middle where she isn't "scare them off "ugly?

That one young woman had one hell of a mouth on her but when she called Reg a tomato head it was funny and they were lucky that when the kid dropped the gun it only hit the car window and who would of thought a Padiddle was a vehicle with one headlight Author: codebreaker Time: 11-8-2011 11:57 Subject: 1x06 Shame
Allowing the wife to attack her dead husband body after she found out he was killed by a prostitute was different and Reg wiping his shoe on the suspect in the stables was amusing, the Commanders polygraph test was a great trick Author: spratt89 Time: 11-15-2011 13:50
NBC’s ‘Prime Suspect’ To Shut Down Production
Maria Bello is hanging up her hats. NBC’s low-rated new cop drama Prime Suspect, which was left off the network’s midseason schedule, will wrap production this month. I hear that the show’s cast and crew were notified of the shutdown just as NBC was making its midseason schedule announcement yesterday afternoon. Prime Suspect will complete Episode 12, which is now wrapping filming, and Episode 13, which starts shooting this week, before shutting down for the holiday and for the season. I hear people on the show were told that Prime Suspect has been canceled. There will be no more episodes produced this season (and likely ever), but technically, according to a rep for the network, NBC brass are still “considering their options” on Prime Suspect, which hypothetically could be picked up for next season. Emphasis on hypothetically.

How tragic that the parents of the young girl were found murdered in their hotel room and convincing the young girl to speak was hard work but saying grace for her food was a surprise, that road trip was some adventure and how they knew were they had the girl was not what i expected but using the phone to distract Roy was cleaver and she was lucky to survive getting shot Author: bala Time: 11-26-2011 00:46

I'm not surprised that Sweeney orders 24 hour a day security when a hit is ordered on Reg but having to babysit him wasn't the easiest and forgetting her handcuffs was amusing
