Miss Scarlet and The Duke: Series recap

The narrative unfolds in Victorian London, where Eliza Scarlet, facing financial challenges after her father's death, takes charge of his detective agency. In a male-dominated profession, she seeks assistance from childhood friend William Wellington, known as ‘The Duke’ in Scotland Yard. The plot weaves their dynamic partnership, blending subtle flirtation and mutual care.

The series explores Eliza's journey as she uses her refined appearance to her advantage, often underestimated by clients and suspects. William, initially irritated by Eliza's aspirations, gradually respects her skills. The show also delves into their complex relationship, marked by constant bickering and moments of genuine concern.

Rachael New, the series creator, drew inspiration for Eliza's character from Jane Austen's Elizabeth Bennet. Eliza's reliance on her appearance and intellect and her father's training sets her apart in the crime-solving realm. The duo tackles various cases together, with Eliza remaining uncredited, leading to occasional disputes.

Adding depth to the narrative, Eliza allies with Moses, a black criminal who aids her in navigating London's dangerous underworld. Their connection as outsiders to society adds an intriguing layer to the storyline.

The first series premiered on Alibi on March 31, 2020, and later aired in the US on January 17, 2021, as part of PBS's Masterpiece anthology series. Notably, it marked PBS's first acquisition or co-production with a British channel outside the BBC, Channel 4, or ITV. Canadian audiences can enjoy the series on CBC Gem.

Series filming initially took place in Dublin, Ireland. With series 2 relocating to Belgrade, Serbia, it continues into Miss Scarlet and The Duke season 4, promising a blend of Victorian charm, crime-solving prowess, and the growing dynamics between its lead characters.
