...this show is done! Vera, it's time to retire. So many cookie-cutter plots, insolent interviewees (are people really that rude to detectives?!), and who does Vera answer to? Where is her commanding officer? Anyone need a federation rep for those repeated violations from the boss? Wearing her costume to convince us she's channeling Columbo, never without her annoying scarves - does she even change clothes? People all around her in short sleeves or without coats in sunshine and she's dressed for rain...ugh!
I also can't help but notice that there are no couples who are the same skin tone - they have to be black/white combo every time. Apparently it's become very un-PC to marry someone of the same skin tone as yours in that corner of the world.
I could go on about Aiden being her shadow who puts her shoe covers on more than he's being a proper detective, or the fact that she never writes anything down but can cough up conversations verbatim during interrogations. The only bright spot is the prickly pathologist, Malcolm. His retorts to Vera are memorable when she deduces the obvious: "my God, the speed of your mind..." "you should be a detective!" and others.
I'm hoping they stop at season 11, episode 6. Please stop.
