terrible... so disappointed.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

I love the show, even loved watching season three but was disappointed with the outcome - just way too contrived and too many plot holes. Still it was worth it for the acting. It was obvious though that the show story for season 3 was no longer taken from the books, the writers for season three didn't really match the original author's ability to draw out a story.

I've loved this show from the beginning but season 4 was absolutely brilliant!

After watching all the seasons, I thought season 3 and season 4 were more interesting than the first two seasons. Season 1 and season 2 were more of a procedural drama, each case would last 2 episodes. For season 3 and 4 each season only featured one case, I much preferred this format. Also season 1 and 2 felt kind of too PG, I found the cases to be kind of bland or boring, not gritty at all. Season 1 and 2 reminded me of wallander UK, it had that kind of light hearted feel which I was not a fan of. Season 1 and 2 was watchable but, it wasn't gripping or keeping me interested the entire time. Season 3 and 4 is much better. The cases are more gritty and dark and overall much more interesting, more suspense and intrigue. Also the format of 1 case for each season made the show a lot better. Season 1 and 2 I would rate 6.75/10 and season 3 and 4 7.75/10.

Had high hopes given how good Vera is. But this series is tediously slow. Almost comatose. Cliché story lines n plots. Yeah you get to see the Shetland Isles in all their (mostly wet) glory. But it isn't enough. I have absolutely no idea how a second series was commissioned, never mind 4! I dread to think how laughably obvious the plots must be by series 3. But i will never know. Life is far too short. I only watched past series 1 episode 3 cos I am an ex pat in Aus n needed a fix of dreary UK weather....which it delivered. I do note there are a lot of opposing reviews...predominantly from the USA. I think that says a lot. Mostly that the American definition of predictable cliché n dull isn't the same as a Brits. Or maybe they just find the accents make it more interesting. Or make the characters appear more deep and imaginative. I love a Scottish accent but don't find it at all hard to understand, so I did not find any of the characters in the least bit interesting....
