Description

|
|
|
Despite a promotion to Detective Superintendent, Jane Tennison (Helen Mirren) continues to battle the male-dominated bureaucracy of the police force with only a handful of officers she can rely on. The Emmy Award–winning fourth season of the series includes three episodes. In "The Lost Child" Tennison races against time to save the life of a child held hostage by a pedophile. An accidental suicide by auto-erotic asphyxiation turns into a murder investigation in "Inner Circles." And in "The Scent of Darkness," Tennison's career is jeopardized by new evidence that suggests she arrested an innocent man in an earlier case. This British-produced police procedural broke new ground in the 1990s with Oscar-winner Helen Mirren's portrayal of Jane Tennison, a powerful woman who dared to aspire to a leadership role in the man's world of police detective work. Despite excessive scrutiny and attempts to undermine her authority, Tennison thrives as a Detective Chief Inspector—and later Detective Superintendent—though at considerable cost to her personal life. Feeling typecast, Mirren left the role after the fifth series, only to return seven years later for the final two episodes. Future stars Ralph Fiennes and Tom Wilkinson appear in supporting roles.
