The scenery on Vera is just fabulous. As a Scottish person I didn't realise there was so much beauty a little further south. And who doesn't love Vera the character!
I’m from the US. I’ve always enjoyed watching British mystery tv shows/movies. Here, while we’re all coping with this raging viral pandemic, my cable company gave customers many free shows ... because almost all of us are staying home. I began watching Vera. I haven’t stopped yet. I have watched quite a few of the episodes. I adore Vera! Brilliant show. I’ll be a thing now...because I’m hooked on Vera and her coworkers. There are so many twists and turns..fantastic writing! Great characters. I’ll be 73 soon...and Who knows how much longer I’ll be around.🤷🏼♀️. I know one thing. I’ll be watching every new episode I am able to see. And re runs. I can’t get enough of Vera! She’s sassy, smart, determined...and she’s just a luv! ❤️. Thank you to both of you! 👍
I love the "viewnery," ie - those vast landscapes and skies - sensitively shot - of Northumbria. Can't wait for this Covid business to be over so that I can visit! Aine, County Kildare, Ireland
I have watched all of the available series at least 4 times and never tire of the actress, actors, plots and the beautiful scenery. I just wish that Vera could go on forever.
I have loved Brenda Blethyn for years. She is brilliant. How lovely it is to see how much Ann trusts Brenda and her knowledge of Vera's personality. Vera is the best show I have seen in a long time. I just can't get enough of it.
I can’t believe I didn’t discover Brenda & Vera till just last year and I’ve been binge watching ever since. Now I’ve reached the end and hope new episodes are coming. Vera is a brilliant series, one of the best I’ve ever seen, and I’ll absolutely go mad if it ends.
@@kbld1 I've seen the series on TV in Hungary just now ( in 2022) and I've fallen in love vith it. Vera is a brilliant character and Brenda Blethyn made her to be a so lovely person. ♥ Fortunately the hungarian voice of her is brilliant too.
Brenda Blethyn a beloved actress truly authentic & lovely person. So Blessed to have met you yrs ago in NYC, to tell you personally how your role as the Mother in the movie Secrets & Lies touched me in my own search for my biological Mother at that time. You were so gracious in our exchange will never forget.
We are so lucky to have these two women collaborating to bring Vera to life. I do appreciate Brenda making sure the character stays true to Ann's frame. She has made her more appealing visually but you do respect the character in the books for her clear eye on the prize for justice to be done. She cares.
Brenda Blethyn as Vera is the image of my late mum, they could be sisters....uncanny. I watch 'cos I love it, but I also watch because it's like seeing my mum again. Lovely.
We never miss Vera As each season finishes we have our fingers crossed that there will be another season watching from Sydney Australia. Please keep them coming Ann Cleeves
I just chanced upon the series on UA-cam. I binge watched all the episodes and thoroughly enjoyed them. Brenda is so perfect for the role. Eagerly waiting for the next season.
Brenda you are amazing. I love Vera she is a fantastic character and makes me laugh with her sharp wit. Ann’s books are wonderful I enjoy every single one. You are two extremely creative beautiful women xxxx
I'm so grateful to Acorn TV for giving me access to such a wonderful show. I really enjoy the beautiful setting. I love Vera's character and I have so much respect for Brenda Blethyn, she's phenomenal. Naturally, I started looking for Ann Cleeves' books.
How Lovely to see You Two together, (Anne and Benda)You Both are AMAZING and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Vera and Shetland!!! Keep Going Ladies. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😍
I love the show Vera and Brenda plays her well,I have been reading a newVera novel and as I'm reading it I can picture her character after seeing the TV series. Brenda is a great actress 👏👏👏👏👏🏆
I love the show and the books so much! I recently found a copy of "The Crow Trap" in a lovely second hand bookshop. I was going to give it to a friend but I can't bear to part with it, so I will have to go on a treasure hunt for another.
Amazing series, so well done. I look forward to it here in the U.S. so very much. Well crafted and acted. You feel like you know the cast members to such a degree. The death of Bethany - that's a hard one to watch. Heartbreaker for all concerned. Many thanks for this series - only wish other programs were done half as well. (Ms. Blethyn - we are so glad you were ambushed!)
I love in the later episodes when Aiden slips on Vera paper shoes for her at a crime scene. Vera hand is on Aidens shoulder or head to lean on. Does anyone know if that was in the books or written in for the show?
oh thankyou Brenda, I think Im going to have to buy the books and i know exactly how the characters are going to look like ... an i'll have Vera with me all the time, because I know she's got to hang her hat up sooner or later....I love Vera, which is a testament to your acting abilities Brenda ...and of course the wonderful author, Ann Cleeves, Ive got to say .. my next fav series is Shetland...
Love the Vera series ( Shetland also). Read every book, watched every episode. I’m sorry, but I cannot watch American mystery. It’s flat, the characters don’t have any depth. Next on my list is The Heron’s Cry- Matthew Venn Two Rivers series. The Long Call was excellent. Needless to say, I’m a very big fan. Thank you Ann Cleeves for your creativity, and thank you Brenda Blethyn for a magnificent “Vera”!
Having read most of Ann Cleeves books and watched the videos, I am disappointed that the script writers change so much of her story lines and even endings.
I am a Vera fan I like her I saw her over the headland Hartlepool I waved at her and I blow her a kiss I like Vera she is a fantastic person she's brilliant I was buzzing on the day when I seen her at Hartlepool headland I've got a hat like she wears Louisa aves Hartlepool
I adore BB and thoroughly enjoy Vera, although as an ex copper (detective) I am sometimes a bit disappointed at the way the writers (and especially the actors exc’ Brenda ) play the interlocutions between police and suspects our witnesses. 1. Interviewing police officers don’t ‘emote’…because it doesn’t help, much better to ‘befriend’ the suspect and lull them into opening up - talking - and hope they reveal some evidence that proves or disproves the case, and also because we try to keep an open mind. 2. Suspects are rarely so confident /aggressive as they often appear in the show, and witnesses are not so anti-police. They understand that when investigating very serious crimes (as Vera does) they have a duty to assist. The trope of every business person being annoyed that investigations interrupt their operations is overplayed. As is the idea that all the pain everyone in the NE has ever experienced or will experience is the direct fault of Margaret Thatcher!
not only on vera but also in the governess seasons 2 of them, i loved branda ever since then, vera reminds me of another British actress angela lansbury, vera is based on murder she wrote, but vera is way better,..........marius(punk rules).
The book & episode is different. The book takes place in the 1990s. She has an insecure boss who doesn't like her. None of that is shown in the episode. Book is better.
The character, like Blethyn, doesn't enjoy to look inward because there is only emptiness. With no love of Jesus Christ or faith in God there is...nothing. It's so sad to see these people with great talents that have long since abandoned their faith and continue to reject the Christian God on an active basis. Secularism is dooming many souls.
Bap Finkel You’re projecting. How dare you tell the person who created the character and the person who plays the character what she thinks and feels. I’m a happy, fulfilled atheist who finds joy and awe in my own life and the world around me. Absolutely no need for an invisible big man in the sky and I’m sad to think you need your myth to give your life meaning. Sincerely hope you find your way out of superstition before you’re much older - it’s such a waste of brainpower.
The scenery on Vera is just fabulous. As a Scottish person I didn't realise there was so much beauty a little further south. And who doesn't love Vera the character!
I’m Scottish 32%. Love the show & beautifully cast! Especially Brenda (Vera)!!
Brenda Blethyn is wonderful as Vera plus she’s a wonderful actress I love her portrayal as Vera spot on
I just love Brenda as an actress. Watching Vera is a joy.

@@Makeroomformushrooms Lucky you. Such a beautiful place. I enjoy the scenery as much as I enjoy watching Vera solving the case! 🥰
Spot On !
I have BritBox and love Vera, and Brenda is fantastic.
I have watched all of the available series at least 4 times and never tire of the actress, actors, plots and the beautiful scenery. I just wish that Vera could go on forever.

What a lovely collaboration of these two talented women.
I just started watching Vera I find it’s one of very best chow on tv! Really enjoy watching.

She has made her more appealing visually but you do respect the character in the books for her clear eye on the prize for justice to be done. She cares.
My favourite part in that episode was when Vera recognized the taxidermy birds on the shelf. The look on her face! Love this show.
I loved the show which compelled me to read the books both have been a joy.
Brenda Blethyn as Vera is the image of my late mum, they could be sisters....uncanny. I watch 'cos I love it, but I also watch because it's like seeing my mum again. Lovely.

Love Vera soooo much. We in Perth West Australia look forward to many more series. Brenda, you are such a good actress.
Two admirable ladies. I love Ann Cleeves as the author and creator of these magnificent books. I also love Brenda Blethyn, an excellent actress.

What a gift to see author and actor together. Cheers!
I’m from Australia. Love Vera. Love the show. 🌹🇦🇺
“The Seagull” is at the top of my list for favourite episodes of this truly excellent programme.
Recently discovered this show and very impressed by the production value and writing. Sort of a female Columbo set in the moorlands of England.
Vera is my most favorite series!! Brenda Blethyn is brilliant!
Thank you - just finished watching Season 10. So grateful for the good writing, acting, and production. Please may there be a Season 11!
Brilliant and beautiful Brenda.
I just love Vera. Brenda Blethyn is wonderful.
What a wonderful collaboration. Amazing writing and amazing acting. Thank you both.
Vera (Brenda) is my favorite! I can’t wait for the next series, although I watch all the the 1 - 11 series over & over again🤗
We love the show Vera and love Brenda Blethyn - an amazing actor!

I really like the author Ann and also Brenda.
Beautiful Brenda 🙂
Vera is one of my favorite series! Brenda is an amazing actress!
Vera driving in a jeep not a flashy car I think of her as one of us everyday people
Mate, not a “jeep” but a good, old-fashioned British Land Rover. Tschuess aus Australien.
ITS A LAND ROVER!!!
I love the saucy look Vera gives over her left shoulder as the credits roll at the beginning of every show
That’s the best!
I absolutely love this show, l follow every episode!👍👍👍
I love her
So much ❤
I love in the later episodes when Aiden slips on Vera paper shoes for her at a crime scene. Vera hand is on Aidens shoulder or head to lean on.
Does anyone know if that was in the books or written in for the show?
Miss Aidan. Not too fussed on Joe
What a joy to listen to these lovely women 💞
Two lovely ladies,What a treat
Brenda plays Vera perfectly…really enjoy the program
Brenda Blethyn ! I really like you. Chance in a million, one in a million...
Antwerp ( Belgium) loves you Nice lady ! 💜🥰💜🥰💜🥰
You’re both amazing women. Love you both!
I just love Vera too! She really seems so natural. I can't see her in another venue. I will wonder why is Vera in this program!?
I love the series.
oh thankyou Brenda, I think Im going to have to buy the books and i know exactly how the characters are going to look like ... an i'll have Vera with me all the time, because I know she's got to hang her hat up sooner or later....I love Vera, which is a testament to your acting abilities Brenda ...and of course the wonderful author, Ann Cleeves, Ive got to say .. my next fav series is Shetland...
Great show.
I just saw the episode with the nutrition comment. Perfect.
Love ya Brenda.
Ann mentioned that Brenda can run---- I noticed that & marvelled ev time I saw her in action.
Love the Vera series ( Shetland also). Read every book, watched every episode. I’m sorry, but I cannot watch American mystery. It’s flat, the characters don’t have any depth.

If you enjoy “Vera” you’ll enjoy “Shetland.”
I ❤ Vera 💕
Brenda Blethyn has got to be the most gorgeous woman inside and out her acting is spot-on I wish she would marry me
Having read most of Ann Cleeves books and watched the videos, I am disappointed that the script writers change so much of her story lines and even endings.

Please bring David Leon back!!! The new guy is like dead wood. No smoldering good looks, no charisma and no charm!

It's so sad to see these people with great talents that have long since abandoned their faith and continue to reject the Christian God on an active basis. Secularism is dooming many souls.
