Prime Suspect
Created by Lynda La Plante, Alexandra Cunningham
On NBC
A gritty police procedural centered on a brilliant but flawed homicide detective navigating institutional sexism and her own demons in New York City.
Detective Jane Timoney finds that being a homicide detective in New York City is tough enough and having to contend with a male-dominated police department to get respect makes it that much tougher. She's an outsider who has just transferred to a new precinct dominated by an impenetrable clique of a boys' club. Timoney has her own vices too – with a questionable past – and she tends to be forceful, rude and reckless. But she's also a brilliant cop who keeps her eye on one thing: the prime suspect.
