Vera is a dependable English series — it does what it sets out to do. It carries a 7.4/10 on TMDB across 180 ratings — comfortably clear of the pack. In Germany you can stream it on Joyn Plus.
Is it worth starting?
This is 14 seasons deep — English crime with a drama streak. Several seasons in, so it's a commitment to start rather than a one-night sampler.
- Why
- 7.4/10 from 180 ratings — well received so far, on a modest sample.
- Skip if
- a backlog this size is the opposite of what you're after
- Best for
- A proper binge, once you've got the weeks for it
Story
