Anyone watching Vera on PBS? She's a cranky old bird but for some reason I've stuck through several of them but the whole series is so depressing. Why am I watching it? |
I found the first Battle Creek pretty slow going. I found last nights episode slightly humorous, because here in Michigan they would kill over genuine maple syrup. I have a few friends who are on the outs with their neighbors because of them trespassing on their property to tap their maple trees!
I've not watched Vera. I'm not much of a fan of murder mysteries. Both my parents love watching them, so I think because I was forced to watch when I was young, it put me off them. My mum's current fav series is Scott & Bailey. I've seen the actress that plays Vera in a couple of other shows, and she's had a caustic sarcastic wit in those shows too, so i liked your "cranky old bird" description! Very fitting.
