His humility and devotion to making Vera a better person really made their partnership something special. On the other hand, Aiden is a whiny hunk who seldom has anything to add to the investigation, much less Vera's character development.<br /><br />As for the episode itself, I wish I'd had time to revisit some earlier episodes to compare it with, but it rather caught me by surprise, and I had to rush to get a review out. But I did enjoy the plot - I thought the cliffs and the puffins were both fun elements to the location. The ending was cliched and annoying. However, I enjoyed watching Brenda Blethyn do her thing.

By the way, are you EVER going to let me drive the Land Rover? I mean, it's been two years."<br /><br />Thanks Hannah for another great review; although (for probably the first time ever) I disagree with you about the programme.<br /><br />Compared to Endeavour and his relationship with Thursday; compared to Morse and his relationship with Lewis, indeed, compared to Lewis and his relationship with Hathaway, the partnership between Vera Stanhope and Aiden Healy has got to be the weakest between a DCI and their detective ever on terrestrial television. The poor lad is completely under utilised and, for me, it detracts massively from the show.<br /><br />I've watched the episode twice now and I have to say my reaction both times was 'meh'. It was missing something;'je ne sais quoi'. Perhaps it was missing the bright colours from the first episode of series 6. The episode was as grey and dismal as a mid-December afternoon; I might as well have looked out my window for two hours instead. I struggled to know (or care) whether the action took place on the island or the mainland; and more importantly, I struggled to keep track of (or care about) the myriad minor characters. Everyone had a motive, but in the end, the denouement was completely bathetic. Meh.<br /><br />I really do love Vera and have looked forward to this new series for the past several weeks (since it was announced), but I have to say, this one was a major disappointment - if you ask me. Here's hoping the next installment is better.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16650147340969927580noreply@blogger.com
