The driving force and star is the fine actress Brenda Blethyn as Vera. Blethyn's face is as expressive and interesting as the blustery northern landscape, weathering storms of conflict. The Northumberland villages, soft northern light, and seascapes provide a timelessness to the human narrative strewn upon the landscape. The marvelous Brenda Blethyn and crew are authentic and entertaining. David Leon, as her sidekick, is capable, and it's a treat to catch the fine and underrated John Lynch of  The Secret of Roan Inish , among others, as guest stars. Gina McKee is superb in the first mystery, as a mother coping with economic hardships; she lives in a modest row-house, on a block where the Northumberland sky seems to slam down at the end of the street, a permanent dead-end. Her pathos over her losses it utterly believable.The Brits reward actors who are robust, plump, assertive, deeply human, and divinely wrinkled, while too often American TV is dominated by polished, dull, and immobile faces. "Vera" is a tremendous visual and imaginative treat. The dialect is easy to understand, the rich nouns as hefty and delicious as meat-pies and ale; subtitles are utterly unnecessary. In the first mystery, "Hidden Depths," we're introduced to Vera, who is coping with the recent death of her father. This loss haunts all the subsequent mysteries. As she says, a culprit is "caught in the act of being alone." Slugging down whisky under a sullen sky, she declares such loneliness is "not for the faint-hearted." Dust to water, Vera sheds her father's ashes in the sea. But the absence of a loving father, of caring familial connections, continues to haunt Vera, as she, and another woman who was tragically and falsely accused of murder, find in "Telling Tales." Some tragedies in life have no clear, happy resolution, as the "Crow Trap" and "Little Lazarus" explore.I look forward to much more of the bad-tempered and authentic "Vera," hopefully the series will continue for many more seasons! The evocative, bleakly beautiful Northumberland landscape is a welcome and perfect stage for these intense mysteries.You might enjoy the fine Scottish mysteries  Hamish MacBeth: Series 1-3 Collection  and  Case Histories , and the documentary  A History of Scotland ; good with Islay single-malts like Ardbeg or Laphroaig. The deeply talented, always compelling Brenda Blethyn is wonderful in the sharp comedy  Saving Grace , and great dancing with Alfred Molina in  Undertaking Betty , with cats Fred & Ginger. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Great show *by L***D on Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2023* It is a great show. A little slow moving at times but more than makes up for it with the storyline and actors. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Northumberland to Santa Barbara.... *by H***Y on Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2011* This series is set in the beautiful UK coutryside of Northumberland - sea, beautiful beaches and rugged landscapes. Perhaps I'm promoting the locale rather than Vera?! I bought the set for lovely friends who live in Santa Barbara, so there is a similiarity in terms of sea and landscapes. Not in climate though. I wanted them to get a flavour of where I live in the UK as well as enjoy an excellent series. Brenda Blethyn as Vera is superb and got to grips very well with our local distinctive dialect. The stories/episodes are all of a very high standard. The cinematography reminds me of Scandavian movies a la Ingmar Bergman. Beautiful, atmospheric shots that really add to the mood of the stories. Don't worry...these aren't bleak tales. Very entertaining and intelligent acting and stories. The character Vera is very engaging and not at all glamourous. A "real" person as portrayed by Brenda with foibles and perhaps reflective about how life might have turned out for her, rather than simply a having career and maybe little else. So, Vera for Americans is different in terms of the location and the type of characters portrayed. I don't believe you'll be disappointed in any respect. Who knows you may end up being intrigued about the beauty and mystery of Northumberland..... --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/3928893-vera-dvd](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/3928893-vera-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
