Line 3: The [[Trans -Atlantic Equivalent\|US version]] of ''[[Prime Suspect]]'', starting in 2011. It stars Maria Bello as Detective Jane Timoney (Tennison in the UK version). The series shares some of the same themes are the original (including the sexism Jane faces in the workplace), but manages to put its own spin on things so far. Detective Jane Timoney is a homicide detective. There's bad blood with her fellow detectives, since they think she was able to get a promotion by sleeping with her boss. Thus, whenever a case should go to her, it always seems to get picked up by a different squad. When the detective in charge of the squad suffers from a heart attack and dies, however, she gets her chance to show how she does things. ---- {{tropelist}} ~~== The US version of ''Prime Suspect'' includes: ==~~ * [[Action Girl]]: Jane Timoney. For bonus points, Maria Bello is an actual Muay Thai practitioner. Line 44: * [[Scarf of Asskicking]]: Jane almost always has one when on the job. Unlike the usual version of this trope, however, it's usually tucked into her shirt rather than flowing (see page image), probably because [[Fridge Brilliance\|she doesn't want to give the perps anything to grab]]. * [[Shown Their Work]]: Coupled with [[Reality Is Unrealistic]]. In Episode 4, Jane walks into a Loehmann's to question a person of interest, and ends up trying on shirts in a communal dressing room. Loehmann's actually has communal dressing rooms, although most people not from New York would think that odd. * [[Trans -Atlantic Equivalent]]: Obviously, to the long-running and tremendously successful ''[[Prime Suspect]]''. Despite initial jeers, and though it's early days yet, this program is starting to look like it'll be one of the standout examples of this trope done ''right''. * [[You! Get Me Coffee!]]: Duffy does this repeatedly to Jane in the second episode, mostly to get her out of his hair. This backfires when she actually gets useful information, {{spoiler\|and in fact manages to find the missing girl, though Duffy gets the credit}}. {{reflist}} [[Category:American Series]] [[Category:Crime and Punishment Series]] [[Category:Prime Suspect US]]▼ [[Category:TV Series]] ▲[[Category:~~Prime Suspect US~~{{PAGENAME}}]]
