British Crime Drama · ITV · 2011–present
Brenda Blethyn's DCI Vera Stanhope is one of television's great detectives — rumpled, brilliant, and deeply human beneath the battered hat and mac. Set against the wild, beautiful Northumberland coast, each feature-length case is a slow-burn character study as much as a murder mystery. Comfort viewing of the highest order, with a lead performance that never stops surprising.
