===Themes=== The first series features [[sexism]] in the workplace as a significant subplot and a barrier to the investigation. Sequels have tended to downplay this theme, relying on straight procedure or on other subplots, such as [[institutional racism]] in ''Prime Suspect 2'' or [[child sexual abuse]] and [[prostitution]] in ''Prime Suspect 3'', but they continue to demonstrate the determination of some of Tennison's male peers and those in upper echelons to see her fail. Tennison's difficulty in achieving a balance between her work and her life outside the job, and her difficulty in maintaining stable relationships, are recurring themes within the series. Towards the end of ''Prime Suspect 3'' she arranges to have her pregnancy terminated. As the series progresses, she increasingly relies on alcohol to help her cope. This culminates in the final episode of the series in her attending meetings of [[Alcoholics Anonymous]], where she finally acknowledges and confronts her addiction.
