    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 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!

    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.
