I remember these being very well reviewed when they showed on TV a while back (PBS, maybe?). Are the DVD's any good?

Don't own the DVD's but I've seen the Prime Suspect episodes on tv here and this is high quality stuff. It's probably better than 90% of the movies you see.

These are great stories and has a good quality in the acting. I am about to buy them myself from CH. Unfortunately not anamorphic.
