Movie Reviews of Blue Murder - Set 1

Movie Review: Much better than Prime Suspect
Summary: 5 Stars

Unlike PS, this show has a believable woman as its main character. A diorced woman who is trying to get along with the ex after he hurt her, four kids and very interesting cases. Hope there are more episodes a coming.

Movie Review: Fans of "Prime Suspect", check this out!
Summary: 4 Stars

If you loved "Prime Suspect", you won't want to miss this. Janine Lewis, played by Caroline Quentin, is a Manchester-based single mother of three (soon to be four) who also happens to be a Detective Chief Inspector. Coming home to surprise her husband with the good news of her promotion to DCI, she herself is surprised to find him having sex with the housecleaner in their bedroom. After the initial shock, Janine handles this curveball with aplomb, juggling the draining dual roles of chief homicide investigator and sole domestic engineer without losing her mind. She even has time for a promising, if somewhat ill-advised, flirtation with a junior officer on her squad. Janine is Earth Mother to Jane Tennison's Ice Queen, but she is every bit as committed to her job. Like Helen Mirren's Tennison, she must also deal with daily verbal reamings from her male superior and his obligatory musings about a female's capacity to handle her responsibilities in a predominantly male profession. Janine manages to do it all and somehow keeps on smiling. British TV series have a much more realistic feel than do their American counterparts; I can't imagine that an enormously pregnant 40-something woman who looks her age and is a size 18 in the best of times would ever be welcomed as the lead in an American police procedural. Caroline Quentin proves that it is possible to be larger and more mature than a supermodel and still be warm and sexy. I hope more of this series is on offer, though I have no idea why they chose the title. There is nothing 'blue' about Janine Lewis--she's the type everyone would be lucky to have as a spouse or a best friend.

Movie Review: I love this show but...
Summary: 3 Stars

I recommend anyone who wants to own this set to buy the UK release. It's slightly cheaper AND has subtitles. Doesn't everyone have a region free player by now? They're SO inexpensive and you don't have to wait for the whim of DVD producers to decide to release a show in region 1.
