Absolutely brilliant, not just the acting and the plot - but the beautiful camera work. This really did engage me emotionally.
The acting of the girl Penny was very believable not something that is always the case with British child actors.
Mirren, as per usual, showed incredible talent to plumb the emotional depths of D.I. Tennison. Such a complex character , with so many faults, it is a character made for good TV drama.
My only comment of criticism would be that I find it hard to believe that the headmaster (Tompkinson) confesses to having sex with one of his fourteen year old pupils and is then allowed to walk free?
A great shame that this is the end of the era. I will really miss it.
