FALL TV: “Prime Suspect” is actually really good

Credit: Prime Suspect‘s official Facebook page I’ll be the first to say that I thought the U.S. version of Prime Suspect was going to suck. hard. The trailers and commercials were horrendous.

FALL TV: Pan Am is a lighthearted look at the life of the 1960s flight stewardess

Credit: Pan Am’s official Facebook page Before I get heavy into this review, yes: I know the show does not deal in any social/moral ambiguity, civil rights or feminist issues. But, Pan Am does do one thing that I’ve been waiting and hoping for, which is to provide me with some escapism for an hour.
