A few reviews haven likened Vera to Morse - soz guys, but not even close. She's a lot like David Jason's Frost, I'm fairly sure ITV have wheeled out the same Mac and Hat for both characters.
Vera is watchable and the cinematography is excellent. It's not that original though, and it is a little contrived - but so are most detective dramas.
I love a good mystery, I watch anything and everything from Law and Order SVU, to Miss Marple, Morse to elementary. If there is a crime link I'll give it a try, Vera is in the top 20 percent of the crime genre, but there is a steep bell curve. I'm the grand scheme of things this show won't be remembered.
Watch it though, Brenda Blethyn is cracking and David Leon's DS (1-4) seems to get more attractive the more you watch.
