The pros...great outdoor cinematography, you can almost smell the brine and fish. Story was good, acting, very good. This is a series that is easy to watch. No car or foot chases, no shoot ups or heavy foul language and no excessive gore. The cons...indoor cinematography, dark with profile shadows. Britain only has 25 watt bulbs. Some disconnect with reality. Solicitors quietly sit there while their client just yammers on.
I like Vera, a misanthrope with a troubled background. But, if she were a real person, she'd be in anger management or counseling. Nobody would want to work for her. Her character sees things that her staff write off with a 'probably' and this allows Vera to bark away. I like the character of 'Kenny', he's the Watson to Vera's Sherlock and really deserves more screen time. This is an hour long whodunnit in 1.5 hours. My biggest complaint with this series is, it'll make you want think twice about going on holiday in Britain.
