I am so so disappointed with Vera

[TheOtherRick]

I love British murder mysteries and keep my subscription to Britbox current so I can get my fix nightly. So, for two years, two long years, I've been waiting patiently for a new season of Vera. It came and went in a flash, three count them three episodes and that was it.

I know that British TV seasons can be over in a heartbeat, but three episodes? Did I miss something?

Hopefully, you watched other programs and got your money's worth. I never liked Vera. Too depressing and dark for me.

We in this household have been devoted fans of Vera, too. Even if often it's been just the lead actors who are the one's whose northern-English accents are the ones we could readily understand, on a first viewing of an episode. Yeah, Vera and the various Morse series (Morse, Lewis & Endeavour)!

Well, I think they did 13 seasons of Vera... that's a long run. Then Brenda Blethyn starred in a comedy series as a crusty, stubborn seaside café proprietor. Forget its title, we watched it for a while. Not nearly as gripping. Don't know whether moving into that was Blethyn's choice (wanting to do something different) or the decision of BBC executives.

I am genetically drawn to the dark and depressing, I sat in my Grandmother's lap watching mysteries on TV.
