Vera (ITV, 2011)

I coulda sworn I had a draft post about this show. Coulda SWORN. Anyhoo --

Brenda Blethyn is DI Vera Stanhope in this telemovie style series of
detective mysteries which is very... sub-Morse, and sub-sub-Miss Marple.
I love Brenda like a distant crazy-bitch aunt but a collection of tics
does not a complex character make.

And is it really a mystery if your heroine cop works her way through the
list of suspects, accusing each of them of the murder/s, realising that
it wasn't possible, until she gets to the final remaining suspect who
conveniently confesses?

Bwah.
