Dynamic duo

Two columns today for the price of one. First, a look at the new "Cracker" movie and the final "Prime Suspect" story:

They look like polar opposites at first blush, they do. She's petite and classy; he's built like a polar bear and dresses like a toupee salesman. She's reserved and cold to the point of complete isolation; he sees himself as the life of every party, preferably ones to which he wasn't invited.

But Jane Tennison and Edward "Fitz" Fitzgerald are two British law-enforcement lions in winter. They drink too much, rub too many important people the wrong way, and are never more comfortable than when they're on the trail of a murderer.

And within the next two weeks, we may never see them again.

To read the rest, click here. After that, there's a mailbag column in which I present opinions on "Lost," "Friday Night Lights" and "Studio 60" that will be familiar to anyone who hangs out here.
