Just finished binging on Hulu!

1. I love her as well.

Found the show on Acorn and loved every minute. Brenda Blethyn is a treasure.

Her best was an older movie "Saving Grace" where she is a new widow finding out all sorts of unsavory things about her passed husband. Penniless and forced to save her manor and grounds and prize-winning orchid production, she makes a deal with her gardener and goes into the marijuana biz.

A classic. Sweet and hilarious. Beware - there are other films using the same title - look for her name in the cast.

Haven't seen it on Acorn or Netflix etc., but if I do, will gladly enjoy it again.

4. I love the movie "Saving Grace"!

It is one of my all-time favorites. I especially love the scene of the two old women getting high in the store while the agent comes to ask them about Grace. One of my favorite scenes!

I would highly recommend the movie if you have never seen it!

3. If you like Vera

Try these. Basically other British police procedurals:

Hinterland - based in Wales
Shetland - based in Shetland
No Offence - based in Manchester
New Blood - can't remember where -- very funny

Still police procedural but on the lighter side:
The Coroner - southern England, Devon coast
Midsomer Murders (of course) - Cotwsolds, I think. Going on 20 seasons.

5. I love Midsomer Murders.

One of my favorite shows! Will have to look into your other suggestions.

Another great show on PBS is Grantchester, about a very handsome young vicar(James Norton) who loves Sidney Bichet and whiskey and helps to solve crimes with his friend, detective Keating. Filmed in Cambridgeshire.
