Aug 2017

but they are 1 1/2 hours long and 19 seasons

I love both of the Prime suspect series. I didn't think I would like the older version with Helen Mirren . it is on Hulu now. I also love Endevour plus the new Prime suspect. Check out the apps of Acorn and Brit Box.....I am watching everything British plus three series in Sweedish, French and Danish. They go slow enough to where it is easy to keep up with.
