Show Title: Vera Audience Rating: Teen and up Warnings: Occasional dark themes Length of Episodes: 90 minutes Length of Series: 14 Seasons (56 episodes) Why you recommend it: It took me an episode or two to adapt to Vera but after that I was completely hooked. The mysteries were usually well done, not too easy to guess, with various storylines. This is a procedural sort of show as, outside of some exploration of Vera's past, there is very little about anyone else's life who she works with. The cast has changed every few seasons, so many characters have come and gone, but they tend to slot into one another's roles with little explanation.
To me the biggest reason for watching Vera is Vera herself. She is sometimes hilariously gruff and a tough boss but she cares about her cases and the victims in them. Not a people person, she is nonetheless insightful about them in general.
