Vera Super show a female Columbo .down to earth personality Great acting Keep it going silver Fox 12:42am Wed 6 Feb
Nicky Brenda Blethyn is a Great Actor, and thought i would be consumed with Vera. But was left rather limp from my viewing experience. Which was most unexpected... Nicky9:31pm Mon 10 Sep
prd we do not HATE the accent its just not true - the point is if you cannot immitate an accent correctly why bother! Pick someone who can or someone who can genuinly. doubletake1:19pm Tue 7 Aug
vera whats wrong with you english and hating her accent. Here in Aussie this is a fantastic show and hopefully keeps being made. I love it prd7:28am Tue 7 Aug
accent surely there must have been some geordie actress for the part or if not why fake it - there really is no need - think Geo Gently filmed in the same place!! if its not right, its so so irritating. doubletake12:08am Sat 28 Jul
great show I am a new fan. Just watched all episodes. This show is a breath of fresh air. It is very different from US cop shows no gun play, car chases, or drugs. The police use their brains, for once. B. US ;]4:18pm Mon 2 Jul
Brilliant Now now, what's all this. The acting is brilliant, the scenery is brilliant and the storylines are brilliant. Brenda Blethyn is brilliant as the grumpy but brilliant Vera. Okay her accent is a little off but so what. Stephen Tompkinson's Yorkshire accent was dreadful as DCI Banks but I could overlook this. Anyway folks Vera is brilliant! Vera's mother4:38pm Mon 4 Jun
I love Vera Pleas can you all remember it's FICTION. Brenda Blethyn is brilliant as Vera. I love the scenery too. Great Sunday night escapism. Yes I too loved Heartbeat and miss it dreadfully but this is great too. RoxyP10:15pm Sun 3 Jun
Missed episode The missed episode is airing this sunday TruTru9:31am Sun 3 Jun
Vera's great! Seems to me that most of those who dislike this show can't even spell! Old Goody10:22pm Fri 25 May
Such a shame Good actor, poor direction & costumes, lovely scenery, good scripts, confusing direction. TO BE MISSED! MykaMac8:06am Mon 21 May
Who really cares? Veras a good show and to be honest if you really dont like her accent dont watch and dont complain about it! BKE10:34pm Sun 20 May
Vera S2E3 This annoys me, not airing an episode coz of reality. I mean, come on, there's ALWAYS going to be something happening somewhere.... would they not show the news if a newsreader died??!! Bounty5:05pm Wed 16 May
Vera S2E3 Many people didn't see Episode 3 which was due to be broadcast on Sunday 13th May - I emailed ITV, and got the following response:
"We regret the late change to the schedule and the non-appearance of Sunday’s episode of Vera.
The storyline of this episode concerns the death of a soldier in Afghanistan. Following the news of the deaths of two servicemen in Helmand province, it was considered appropriate to delay the broadcast of this particular episode. We have no information at the present time when this episode will be scheduled for broadcast."
Hope this helps people - can understand ITV's approach to this. A5:10pm Tue 15 May
Where is Vera? Vera was not shown in the Granada area on Sunday 13th May. We got an old Lewis episode instead. Why? Thelly12:37pm Tue 15 May
Great I enjoy Vera. I'm not familiar with the accent so I;m not distracted by it. I like the fact that she is not such a great person. It makes the show more realistic. detective fan9:37pm Mon 14 May

Can't wait for season 2 Really enjoyed the stories and the characters. She's the kind of person that you end up liking despite yourself. Fred5:24am Sat 21 Jan
LEFT WANTING MORE ***** LIKED IT GOOD STORY LINES USLOT NCLE6:43pm Thu 13 Oct

northerer with proper accent i simply cringe when i hear her accent it is awful and the acting isn't much better geordie girl11:43am Fri 27 May
Very Good Vera was better than most rubbish thats on Tv these days. Far too critical. Thumbs up El Matadore11:57pm Tue 24 May
ranting why is she constantly ranting...terrible actor very hard to watch no good9:19pm Sun 22 May
How to make a police series without any knowledge of procedures After 30 years in the police, most of it in the CID, I can only think that the makers of this series had less knowledge of the Police, procedures and the investigation of murder than my 2 year old grandson. Seadog8:11pm Sun 22 May
Complete shocker! The main character is awful - totally over-acted and inspires no empathy whatsoever. I tried to like it but ended up hating it. canary sy7:52pm Sun 22 May
accent her accent is driving me mad, its so so bad. northern gal2:58pm Sun 22 May
total tat! Dreary drivel with terrible accents! Harvey B8:40pm Tue 17 May
Very Poor I can find little positive to say about this production of "Vera" other than the series must surely end soon. Adaptation is poor, script indulgent and does not work, direction very poor, editing indecisive, acting very dissapointing on this occassion from a normally good actress in lead role. Difficult to understand what is being said too often. Gloomy and boring. Hopefully no further epsiodes will be made seashore8:39pm Tue 17 May
Rubbish Series Can't stand the hysterical ranting or jeering of "Vera" Plot has no substance and is frankly boring. Bring back Inspector Frost. Magsc12:42pm Tue 17 May
Vera's rubbish Lacking in tension,unbelievable plot indifferent acting. At least Frost had some one-liners. Even the music tells you that it's going to be a thriller without any drama Alan11:44am Mon 16 May
vera As a detective not credible,- possibly as a 'humbug' psychic 'helping' the police out.Not comfortable or relaxed viewing for a Sunday eve-storylines are rubbish. Harry10:00am Mon 16 May
Rubbish This is total rubbish, poor acting, over acting hysterical granny tries to be a detective, bring back Hetty Waintrhop it was 1000 times better. Vera has no real story line, is padded out by drivel and the main character seems to permanently suffer from PMT judging by the derogatory way she speaks to her male colleagues. If this is ITVs replacement for Heartbeat they’ve dropped a huge clanger as there’s no comparison. Vera is complete rubbish MarkyMarkSurrey12:27am Mon 16 May
Refreshing kept me watching I missed the first episode but really enjoyed the second i wasnt distracted not even to check my emails. Looking forward to episode three. Niga3:44pm Tue 10 May
confused looks as if it was filmed on a cheap moblie phone, terrible direction and sound recording. superfluous scenes.
really a pain to watch. Enough is enough. victim10:37am Mon 9 May
rubbish over acting ,dont think see can really play the part well trying to hard scanny9:24am Sun 8 May
Very poor Character not credible, plot difficult to follow not helped by some dialogue difficult to understand. Won't waste another evening on this. Pupo8:37pm Thu 5 May
Poor adaption The book is a cracking read. This adaption fails to emulate the tension of the novel, not helped by the changing of the 'why-done-it' and the absence of the character plotting so essential to understanding the motives of the suspects. Might as well not bothered with the book, just write new plots that don't rely on the contortions needed to fit Ann's book into 100 odd minutes. Si1:35pm Tue 3 May
Its Blooming Brilliant A complete break from the norm, I missed a bit and was really dissappointed i couldn't get on itvplayer, come on sort it out! Roguetrupa7:54am Tue 3 May
Rubbish A detective, you must be joking!!
I think they let her out of the old folks home & that's polite. Very dreary. Badger6:40pm Mon 2 May
So Disappointing! What a waste of a great talent. Show was a disappointment; boring and banal. Will not be watching again. Devonshire lass.3:50pm Mon 2 May
Dissapointed What a terrible muddle, very difficult to follow and quite frankly couldn´t have cared less who killed who!Won´t bother to watch any more episodes. Twobooks1:14pm Mon 2 May
Bland Did nothing to engage or even stir up any emotion.....boring, bland and totally missable! DLR11:41am Mon 2 May
