Just subscribed to Acorn TV - Well, because British Murder Mysteries...

Been watching the brilliant DCI Vera Stanhope - Love, love LURVE it!

Anyone else?

Yes! My dad introduced it to me and I love the characters! Vera is so sassy and the show is not like any other I've watched. I must admit I haven't watched an episode in a while though...

I do love a good Brit murder mystery. This one is only on Amazon Video though, which is apparently not the same as Prime.

Several seasons of Vera are available in the US through Acorn TV. Several other seasons are available through BritBox. None are exclusive to Amazon. (But Amazon has arrangements with Acorn & BritBox that allows people to subscribe to those services via Amazon & then watch their Acorn & BritBox shows through the Amazon app, & it also sells access to individual episodes to the general public. Yeah, it can be confusing.)

Ok, done with Vera - Enjoyed every episode... :popcorn:

Just started watching Inspector George Gently - For an older guy, he's pretty cool and really quite smexy! :heart:

I remember watching Doctor in the House with my grandfather. A happy memory -- but it doesn't include any of the actors. :e2smack: Guess I wasn't mature enough to notice at the time!

I'm really liking his assistant, DS Bacchus, too - He's a study in contrasts - Kinda goofy, but a real bad a$$ too - He cracks me up. :D

Oh My! - That episode entitled: Gently in the Cathedral - Just blew me away - Gut-wrenching, to say the least. :e2faint:

OK, finished with the Inspector George Gently series... Lurved every minute of it! :Thumbs:

Gotta say that last episode tore me up - The ending wasn't totally unexpected, but it was heartbreaking, nonetheless. :cry:

I enjoyed the odd episode but I can't stand her voice! :Ssh:

I am sure Brenda Blethyn can talk tidy and dish out the RP, when called for.

She is one of those actresses I have a lot of time for, but I streamed a few episodes, and they left me cold. Didn't care about the character, which I put down to the writing, not the acting. Maybe I was watching when I was too tired.
