How this season is filed
Helen Mirren’s Jane Tennison walks into a boys’-club murder room and does not ask permission. British prestige crime as event import: class, sexism, and procedure without the American hug. Detective television that treats authority as something a woman has to seize weekly — cold, adult, and still the benchmark every later female cop drama gets measured against.
