How is that any excellent TV show has been canceled in recent years while horrible shows were renewed year after year? Shows with high ratings and good critics were terminated without hesitating. Some reason that has nothing to do with doing a good job must be the cause. If not, it is impossible to understand that a show like Prime Suspect is finished after a flawless first season.
Even the pilot episode was perfect. That's very rare. Typically, a show needs 2 or even 3 episodes until it gets what it needs to be a hit.
In the Prime Suspect case,the casting was very good. The direction, also very good. The script,impeccable. The performance, perfect. It was only natural that the public chose to support it. What else might want the TV executives?
I guess all those cancelations must be related to a matter of sympathy or not between the executives and those who make the shows. I can't think of any other excuse. But whatever the reason, they destroyed the possibility of giving the public a product that could have lasted at least a decade. What a waste!
