I love coastal towns, they have their own atmosphere. Great Britain always gives viewers high-quality detective stories. The first episode was interesting, but, unfortunately, you quickly guess who the killer is, but you don't immediately guess why. It's a pity for the main character, she's really very lonely. Her partner is a real handsome guy. It would be more interesting if he was single. It's a little boring to look at family men.
I really liked the characters, the police work is very well shown, realistic dialogues and the behavior of the characters. It was very nice to watch the pilot episode. Oh, I love English detective stories.
I can't wait to continue. I watched 8 seasons, such characters are colorful, situations are non-standard, but at the same time they are quite vital. I really like that the work of the police is shown as usual, without superheroism, and it's still interesting and exciting. The handsome partner also does not take pictorial poses, does not mannerize with witnesses. Suggest something else similar, if you know.
I watched the 10th season - well done..the same high level. for the third time, I decided to review all the seasons..You don't always remember who the killer is. Like the Midsomer Murders
Vera Stanhope is an elderly, unglamorous and lonely woman, an experienced and reputable detective, an energetic and demanding boss, who solves extremely complicated murders in sparsely populated Northumberland - the northernmost county of England.
A memorable main character, plump, plainly dressed, very confident, tough and determined. Good plots, with tragic stories, with intricately intertwined circumstances and sad consequences. With all the plausibility of the events, the identity of the killer is unknown until the last minutes, and until the middle of the series it is often completely unclear who, what and why. The investigation is progressing in an ideal way to preserve the intrigue, collecting all the necessary deceptions and revealing a couple of obligatory and distracting unsightly secrets.
It was staged and filmed smoothly, unhurriedly. A dozen and a half screenwriters and almost three dozen directors, but all in about the same style. Good dialogues, some scenes are quite emotional, but they are played without theatricality, restrained and realistic. Without focusing on the disclosure of the inner world of the characters and the development of their characters.
It turned out to be a dramatic detective series with an unusual main character, with complex cases, each with a series of false versions and an unexpected insight at the very end, with beautiful views of the picturesque northern wastelands, ancient ruins and modern Newcastle.
Language. They speak in a variety of ways, naturally, but legibly and not too quickly. There are many characters who speak with mistakes and with such pronunciation that it is sometimes difficult to keep from smiling, however, the range of local accents is quite understandable. But the vocabulary is not always the most understandable, there are difficult words and expressions. Subtitles, in my opinion, are mandatory.
