As beloved as Lynda La Plante’s long-running crime series Prime Suspect is, her Above Suspicion
deserves equal adoration. It’s another example of how the British leave
viewers wanting more, rather than taking the American approach of
burning them out, because the first two seasons — all seven episodes
between them — come collected on Acorn Media’s two-disc Set 1. This leaves two more seasons as yet unreleased, so I pray we see a Set 2 soon down the pipe.

Atlanta rapper T.I. has released Trouble Man: Heavy Is the Head,
his eighth studio album and the first since his most recent stint in
prison. The title is no doubt a reference to his legal troubles on
federal weapons charges, but it also makes reference to the Marvin Gaye
song of the same name, which is sampled in the album’s opening track.
