A fine episode of Vera, and congratulations to the producers for the top-notch casting. Vera is very down to earth (I love how she eats chips while working on a case at night), but also very sharp in her investigation skills - nothing gets past Vera as she and her team traipse the countryside to find the killer of a guy found in a slurry pit.
The ending was a major twist, and I never saw it coming.
I agree this episode is, to quote a reviewer, "very PC good for those who favor certain groups." Assuming PC means politically correct, I would have rated this episode 11 out of 10 if it included 1. a heterosexual male Celt, 2. a heterosexual male Insular Celt, 3. a heterosexual male Continental Celt, 4. a heterosexual male Irish speaking Irish, 5. a heterosexual Male Irish speaking Gaelic, 6. a heterosexual Male Welsh speaking Cornish. Now that would be very, very PC. Also to cap things off, maybe we can have a Vera episode focusing on the production of a behind the scenes of revival of The Black and White Minstrel-type variety show.
With Brexit and the US election capping off 2016, maybe the writers will prevail with the new winds.
