S05e01 Aiff - Vera

The fifth season of the popular British drama series Vera is off to a strong start with its first episode, titled "AIFF" (which stands for "Audio Interface File Format" but is somewhat cryptically referenced in the episode). The episode marks the return of Brenda Blethyn as Detective Chief Inspector Vera Stanhope, who is as sharp and no-nonsense as ever.

When two corpses are discovered in the harbor of a quiet Northumberland coastal town, DCI Vera Stanhope finds herself navigating a tight-knit, insular community harboring dark secrets. The investigation leads Vera to a caravan park and a local funeral home, where she must untangle a web of family feuds and illicit affairs to uncover a killer driven by passion and revenge. vera s05e01 aiff
