Why is prime suspect being cancelled

I just watched this series during the pandemic and cannot imagine why it was canceled. The acting, the chemistry between the actors, and the writing were spot on. It is always baffling to understand which shows make it and which don't. I don't understand why it would have low ratings.

Everyone in my family watched it. I DVR'd every single episode, so I would never miss one. I recorded every episode and watched it with my mom!!!!! This is such bogus!!!! Bring This Show Back!!!!! It was one of the best shows on NBC!!!!!!! Incredible that this show was cancelled when you look at the crap in the rest of NBC's prime time.

This show could easily have been a successful replacement for "Law and Order SVU" which has become tired. My hope is that an enlightened cable station will pick it up, or even CBS or Fox that have good scheduled shows. Something is definitely off with NBC's judgement. Bring Prime Suspect back please!!!!! I love that show so much. I think there were a lot more viewers than you think. I always had to DVR the episodes. P lenty of crime dramas feature a beleaguered, hard-drinking detective with questionable social skills, but Prime Suspect was revolutionary in making a woman the protagonist.

In seven brief series between and , she brought this charismatic but spiky chainsmoker to life, creating the template for complex and compelling on-screen female characters in every genre. Naturally, her professionalism and persistence in cracking the case won them over, but she was refreshingly uninterested in male approval. This trait made her uncompromising at work but was less successful in her personal life, where her mopey boyfriend left her after she failed to pull together a dinner party for his business contacts.

In contrast to the disappointing tradition of single women on TV, though, Tennison was neither a sap nor tough and unfeeling. Instead, she was sharp-witted, determined, and empathetic. It's not his fault that your favorite show is terrible.
