Season 1

Based on the bestselling mysteries by Ann Cleeves, Vera follows a solitary, obsessed, cantankerous investigator who happens to be pure genius at her job. Oscar® nominee Brenda Blethyn (Pride & Prejudice, Atonement) stars as the always proficient but occasionally cruel DCI Vera Stanhope. Filmed in the Northumberland villages of the original books, Vera peers into the untamed evil that lurks below the surface and exposes the demons that plague even those who dedicate their lives to good.
