Excellent crime series starring an older woman, Brenda Blethyn, in the lead role. I've seen a small synopsis of the series with the words, "...Think a female Columbo." Not true. DCI Vera Stanhope doesn't play the bumbling idiot trying to pull the wool over the guilty parties' eyes. She is sharp and has no qualms letting the baddies know that she's coming after 'em.
One thing that the synopsis did get right is that DCI Stanhope is "caustic." I absolutely love her attitude and the way she presents herself. By the by, this series is staged in Northumberland, a beautiful part of coastal Northern England.
