In yet another subtle,
powerful performance, Oscar®-winner Dame Helen Mirren
(The Queen, Elizabeth I) reprises her iconic role of Detective Superintendent
Jane Tennison for the last time. As her exemplary career heads towards its
inevitable conclusion, Jane is paying dearly for 35 years of repressed rage
and loneliness. The Final Act finds her searching for the killer of schoolgirl
Sallie Sturdy while facing the hospitalization of her father, descending
deeper into alcoholism and resisting pressure to retire quietly. She forges
a surprising friendship with Sallie’s best friend Penny Phillips (Laura
Greenwood, V for Vendetta, The Brothers Grimm), but the emotional fallout
from the brutal murder starts to take its toll. “A stop-you-in-your-tracks,
brilliant drama” (Radio Times), The Final Act is the perfect conclusion to
what some have called the best crime series ever televised.
