bevnick 8 points 3 years ago. 5/5 stars.

Vera and Shetland lovers, there’s a new series, The Long Call, based on the Anne Cleeves novel of the same title. The 1st in a series of two books… and, hopefully, the ITV show, as well.
“For the first time in 20 years, Ann Cleeves —international bestselling and award-winning author of the Vera and Shetland series, both of which are hit TV shows— embarks on a gripping new series.” Good Reads

Thank you, bevnick. Appreciate the alert. I knew about Shetland but I didn’t realize Vera was also written by Cleeves.

This should please fans of the small-town Gothic genre. Viewers with a strict preference for detailed investigatory work, versa weighty human drama, will probably be disappointed.

Was looking for something to binge, saw Ann Cleeves and had to watch this. Very good show. I love the way Ann Cleeves’ stories always have a surprise ending. I can’t wait for season two.
