Home Fires (2015)
Bring it back..; NOW!!!
I absolutely cannot believe that this absolutely incredible series has been cancelled by ITV. It is a major favorite in our household and we miss it terribly.. so BRING IT BACK... and as soon as possible.. please...
For anyone who as not seen it,go find it and watch. This show deals with what was going on in the life of an English village as the war raged just over the channel. A topic rarely dealt with at all in the media. It's the best TV has to offer so it needs to continue.
Vera (2011)
There will never be enough Vera Stanhope.
DCI Vera Stanhope and her various supporting characters reach out and grab you. There's no way to express the raw emotions that we feel when we watch each and every episode. From Season 1 through Season 5 we've held on waiting for the next season to show up, watching the episodes from first to last over and over again. There is always something new to notice, another detail to pick up. The brooding landscape feeds the story and the story feeds the landscape in a cycle that somehow makes the moors and the chill countryside part and parcel of each other. Led by the incomparable Brenda Blethyn the cast is superb and the characters are impeccably played.
We are now starting to watch Season 6 and yet dreading seeing the last episode of this batch, knowing it will be another year before we see the next. Here in the United States, where good TV programming is hard to find, Vera shows up as the best British TV has to offer, for which we are decidedly grateful.
