Miss Scarlet, détective privée

The mysteries were great & not obvious. The characters & acting are close to perfect. The debate on women's roles & rights were completely on point without being tiring & somtimes pointless as you see in many other series.

I'm not sure why I chose to watch this, but I'm glad I did. It had me hooked from the very first argument between the main characters. The murder mystery/detective part is not exactly Sherlock, but it's a light and fun crime show with my favourite romance trope and lots of banter, and I'm sorry to see there are only six episodes so far. I'll definitely be waiting for season two.

I have watched every episode across the three seasons of this show. Each season continues to engage me and the characters continue to evolve. The one flaw is that Eliza has not grown as much as some of the other characters. I hope there is another season where she can grow more mature. Other than her relationship with Ivy and Moses we see very little of her lighter side.

The casting on the show is perfect. From Inspector Wellington to Moses and all the quirky supporting cast members, the show highlights some of the best character actors on tv. I really like the recurring character of Nash. I hope he will be back.

I purposely avoid binging the seasons. It is better to savor the episodes. Also, the actor who plays Inspector Wellington is too gorgeous to rush through!

The costumes and sets are brilliant. Not surprised as the Irish film industry is long accustomed to facilitating top quality period productions. The cast and acting is great, Mr Moses in particular adds to the ensemble. Sometimes let down by the storylines and the set up is a little cliched (two people don't get on but respect are care for each other, hints of romance, will they won't they). It hits a good balance between charm, humour and more serious tones, very enjoyable and do hope we will be able get more when the world recovers.

This has been a very welcome addition to a time-worn genre, with interesting sets, great costumes, and an authentic period feel. The final twist in the series may have felt a little contrived, but on the whole the scripts were above average for this type of drama, and Kate Phillips excellent in the lead role.
