I thought it was pretty good . . . . but I've been a big fan of the real Prime Suspect with Helen Mirren and its not in the same class.
They're in danger of making the protaganist a little too tough though and had to throw in that crying/begging for affection scene to take the edge off and give her some vulnerability.
It looks like they'll have a single crime solved every week versus the Mirren Prime Suspect scenario of developing a scenario over multiple episodes.
I'll keep watching.
My DVR is full of new shows and I've got to weed through them all in the next few days.

Too much advertising can turn people off from that product. I don't think I'm alone in my thinking. How many shows get advertised during the NBA finals ("She's the district attorney's daughter!") that end up flopping, for instance? Every year they seem to pick one show that gets a ton of promotion and with the possible exception of The Closer, they all seem to suck.
It works with products too, not just new shows. You know that Panago guy who used to be a construction worker and now, for some reason, is a chef? Hate that guy. I used to prefer Panago Pizza over others but now I think twice in large part because their ads drive me nuts. Same with those Telus commercials with animals. There are plenty of reasons to dislike Telus and their products, but those damn commercials are the icing on the cake.
