Adding period drama to the roster

Back in 2019, I was able to watch the first series of this show, and now the second and third are on U (formerly UKTV/Drama.) I know about the casting and title change that are coming, and that’s definitely changed how I’m watching the show. But hey, our heroine is solving crimes anachronistically in the Victorian era. Also, our heroine is played by Kate Phillips, who was Jane Seymour in Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light, latterly. There’s no trace of her in her Eliza Scarlet.

Two shows that met expectations

I’ve started watching Miss Scarlet and the Duke. It was sold as being inspired by Sherlock, which is stretching it beyond, perhaps, the opening credits where Miss Scarlet is eleventy times bigger than ‘the Duke’, because otherwise it’s your female private detective in a sexist historical period show. Said period is Victorian, so the show is so less well lit than if it were in the twentieth century.
