VERA on ITV is a stylish crime drama starring Brenda Blethyn

VERA is now in its' 5th TV season on ITV in the United Kingdom. Detective Chief Inspector (DCI) Vera Stanhope (Brenda Blethyn) investigates homicide in Northumberland. Her right hand man & surrogate son is Detective Sergeant (DS) Joe Ashworth (David Leon). He left the TV show after 4 TV seasons. 

I've been binge watching over at HULU. It is a stylish crime drama focusing on Vera who is obsessed with her job. It is based on the crime novels by Ann Cleeves & it shows because of the deep & rich characters. Each episode clocks in around 1 hour & 40 minutes & there are 4 episodes in a TV season.

You will "Never" figure out who the killer is in each episode. Never..., You can only watch Vera figure it out for you & she is a very good detective. I am stumped in each episode. I'm watching Season 3 right now over at HULU. Season 4 & 5 are airing on your local PBS station. (KCET in Albuquerque).
