Reviews

I agree with all of the positive reviews. But almost all are not written by people who lived in the late 50s and early 60s - a very Victorian time period in many, many ways. Lovely, Great Music and Very Risqué for the Times. Both Audrey was a paid escort and George a kept man which rarely made it on screen, let alone become popular. Add the crazy party. Well disguised or downplayed by the lovely music, and acting, and light humor. I loved re-watching it and appreciated it more. Cheers. . . . A personal note. I was born and raised in LA-LA-LAND and Hollywood where this was another day in the life off-screen. Enjoy.

I just finished the first of four episodes. For those that have read Above Suspicion the tv series is very true to the book. And I think the book was very good to excellent.

I also think reviewers are making an unfair comparison with Prime Suspect and Helen Mirren. This is clearly unique and Lynda LaPlante's masterpiece - both the book and the tv series that closely reflects the book.

The Detective Tennison books and series are not only superb but unique. Yet it is very different than the Detective Travis books and series which is also very well done and very, very good.

Unlike almost all the reviewers I highly recommend both, but one must realize that that the Travis series is not a sequel to Jane Tennison, is very different, but also quite good, if not excellent. It would be nice if reviewers both watched the series and read the books as well.

It has its moments. -7 But the book is superb and much better. 10+
