Trivia
In a 2006 interview, Dame Helen Mirren stated that "what did shock me profoundly was we had a storyline, where a house had been bought and they're re-modelling the garden and they find a dead body and then they find another one. And in my mind I was going - that's a little bit, you know, that's pushing it a bit - and then very shortly after that the Rosemary and Fred West case came about and I thought - my god. My god. Not only was it realistic. The real world went so much further."

Goofs

Quotes
Mrs. Duhra: [At the inquest into Tony Allen's death in police custody, Duhra has forced Oswalde to admit that he forced Allen to return to his police cell when the suspect was mentally unstable] You had an exemplary record, Sergeant. Could it be that in some subtle way you were being tougher - harder - on this black suspect because you too are black?
Sergeant Robert Oswalde: I'm afraid your question is too subtle for me.

Watch it for Colin Salmon's performance

I was flipping through channels and came across this second installment of the Prime Suspect mini-series which star Helen Mirren. However I'm not really a fan of the series, but was very impressed with the performance of Colin Salmon, who plays Sgt. Robert Oswalde. Salmon since then has worked on films such as the Bond films, Resident Evil, and the mini-series Dinotopia, however didn't ever have such a big part as he does in Prime Suspect 2. Salmon is very good in this role and his performance alone is a reason to watch it. Pretty decent mini-series.

SCORE: 7 out of 10 (good)
