Prime Suspect Review: Series Premiere


There is one thing that kept the series premiere of Prime Suspect from descending into mediocrity: Maria Bello.
Never before have I watched someone who wanted something so badly. Bello, as Jane Timoney, is able to keep up with the boys and beat them at their own game of being a detective in New York City.
While the “Beef Trust” is content to sit around, only going after the suspects that seem guilty and spending the rest of their time drinking and keeping Jane off lead detective work, Jane is dedicated to being an actual detective, even after one of their own died of a heart attack.
And that is what keeps Prime Suspect from being just another show about women being held down in a traditionally male-dominated field.
The Beef Trust doesn’t have a problem with women coming in and being detectives, they have a problem with Jane, specifically because they believe she slept her way to the top.
What sets Timoney apart from most procedural heroines - and something that will probably help her eventually win over the force and audiences alike - is she really does feel like one of the guys. There’s no gung-ho, overly earnest optimism here. Jane is a dark character, filled with bright spots of dark humor and crudeness. She is interested in doing her job well and going over every angle, not closing the case as quickly as possible and getting a beer with the fellas after work.
Another trait that sets Jane apart is how her personality doesn’t flip a switch when she gets home. This isn't someone who suddenly become the stereotypical happy homemaker when she sets foot in her house or is around children.
Jane doesn’t have a problem checking into her boyfriend’s ex and her new husband’s past as leverage to get his son to spend some nights with them, nor does she have a problem showing a traumatized child her gun if it means more information about her case.
The final act perfectly encapsulates who Jane is. No matter what the cost or consequence... she is going to do her job, even if that means chasing a suspect and getting into an absolutely ruthless, dirty fight. Nothing knocks her down for long and no one will stand in her way, even if it means getting tackled and punched in the face.
While the episode's case of the week felt rather generic, and the other characters need some definite story arcs

U.S. Senate Passes Unemployment Extension

Image
The U.S. Senate passed a bill which had a provision for renewed unemployment extension benefits.  Florida's U.S. Senator Bill Nelson voted for the bill while Senator Marco Rubio voted against the bill. Following his vote against H.R. 2055, the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2012, Senator Marco Rubio issued the following statement: “This massive 1,200-plus page bill represents everything that is wrong with Washington. Our country faces major economic challenges, but Congress wasted the whole year stuck in partisan gridlock only to pass a funding bill that solves none of our problems, just to avoid a government shutdown.  This plan spends too much, wastes precious taxpayer dollars to fund a menu of job-killing regulations, anti-life provisions and earmarks, and has been ushered through Congress in a highly secretive and non-transparent manner that didn’t allow for consideration of even a single amendment. I cannot support it.” Both of Brevard County's U.S. Representa...

Image
At the end of the final episode of the two-part series finale event, "Raymond Reddington: Good Night" (Season 10, Episode 22), Raymond "Red" Reddington (James Spader) was killed in a surprising accident. Following years of his shenanigans, speeches, and introduction of countless Blacklisters, fans had to bid farewell in heartbreaking fashion. Below, NBC Insider breaks down the fateful moment, and why our favorite anti-hero met his end in such a specific way. How did Red die on The Blacklist'? While on a walk in the Spanish countryside, Reddington was trampled by a bull and killed. n the moments that led up to the fatal interaction, Red and the animal had a standoff, staring at one another before the bull began to charge at him. While fans didn't see the moment of impact, in the next scene Ressler (Diego Klattenhoff) — who tracked Red down and zeroed in on him in Spain – spots Red's body from a helicopter and finds him crumpled, bloodied, and unresponsive...
