It is always a treat to see DCI Tennison (Helen Mirren) in action. Previously, she was passed over for promotion due to politics and strange bed-fellows, despite her teams and her accomplishments. She files for transfer, and is tranferred to a location where she as to work once again with friends and foes. It is indeed very interesting to see how as a woman, she fights, struggles and succeeds in a male dominated world of crime. She plays her cards incredibly to get the promotion she deserves and on the way she manages to succeed in correctly deducing the murderers.

What always amazes me when I watch DCI Tennison, is the single-mindedness (sometimes at the cost of her personal life) of her efforts and dedication to getting to the bottom of the matter. She is incredibly good at what she does. It annoys and frustrates her immensely when someone else gets the credit for the sweat and tears that she has devoted, but she goes about getting even in her own way. If nothing else, watch this for a portrayal of one amazing woman.
