Title: Miss Scarlet and The Duke
Review: Low-key PBS Masterpiece show about a Victorian woman who steps into her father’s private eye shoes after he mysteriously passes. Well shot and costumed for the era. Nothing overly dramatic here, juts good British television. The sexual tension between Miss Scarlet (Phillips) and The Duke (Martin) is palpable and a bit reminiscent of the old Moonlighting show and the interactions between Cybil Sheppard and Bruce Willis. Second season in the works post-pandemic. No great shakes- but a fun show to watch.
