Love it! This show and CB Strike are what got me on the British/Irish/Aussie shows and I am so happy I found so many whodunits that are wonderful!
I started watching Vera in late 2022. Zoomed through the first 7 seasons/series. I will have to binge some seasons pretty soon.
Binge watched the entire series - 50 episodes - in 2023. It’s a top quality police whodunnit with superb production values and stories that range from good to superb quality. There’s not much in the way of character development or longer story arcs so when watched in bulk feels a little bit formulaic, but taken a season at a time it is one to look forward to I will continue to follow.
Love this series. Brenda Blethyn plays the part sooooo well.
I love this show, but with a history of American shows of the same genre, I must say, the lawyers on Vera are worthless! :D Sometimes i see myself saying: "you don't have to answer that. that's circumstantial. that could be anyone... this interview is over" :D :D
I absolutely LOVE this show. I'm in heaven whenever the new season starts. I hope there will be an 11th season!
Great show!!! Need more like it!!
Brenda Blethyn is irresistible in her portrayal of the hat and Mac clad, Land Rover driving, sharp of eye and tongue, DCI, entrenched in the heart of Northumberland. The writing is good, but the appeal of these stories is not just the puzzle of the crime but it is also that the crime and community are complex, and the satisfaction is in watching Vera steer her team toward finding the definitive clues that lead to the villan(s). It is a police procedural at it's very finest, and the setting is breathtakingly beautiful. Treat yourself to this series from the beginning. I maintain my rating for the series as 9 (splendid) out of 10. [Police Procedural]
I totally enjoy Vera & hope she has many more seasons to come!
This was totally good as I didn't suspect the killer nor the conspiracy of her friend.

Very good from procedural/detective standpoint. A lot of times series like this go too much into interpersonal drama, but here it is murder first, investigation first. Everything else that's happening to the police unit in their daily lives is more subtle, and better for it.
Highly recommended for those who watch such shows for the puzzle part of the plot; but the cast is great, no doubt. Great show all around.
