88% Tomatometer 8 Reviews 84% Audience Score 50+ Ratings When her father dies, Eliza Scarlet finds herself facing a difficult choice. As an unmarried woman, she faces poverty without a husband to provide for her -- unless she takes on the challenge of running her late father's detective agency, which would be unthinkable for a respectable Victorian lady. Fortunately, she finds an unlikely partner in the unconventional Detective Inspector William Wellington of Scotland Yard, known as "The Duke," and the pair begin to tackle the crimes and mysteries of Victorian London together.

Miss Scarlet and the Duke: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Kristen Lopez indieWire Drawn from the likes of other heroines like Elizabeth Peterson's Amelia Peabody, Phillips' performance is so enthralling it brings thrills on its own and enhances everyone else's work. Rated: B Jan 20, 2021 Full Review Miss Scarlet and the Duke: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times It's an easy-to-take show that does most everything well, looks good, has a lively pulse. The mysteries are suitably twisty but not so obscure that you won't solve a few before the detectives do. Jan 20, 2021 Full Review Miss Scarlet and the Duke: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Melanie McFarland Salon.com Lack of experience isn't this show's crime. The real murderer is the show's total absence of spark, the workmanlike dialogue and uninspired performances. Jan 19, 2021 Full Review Miss Scarlet and the Duke: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Matt Roush TV Insider Eliza Scarlet may be ahead of her time, but she’s perfect for ours. Oct 20, 2022 Full Review Miss Scarlet and the Duke: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media Violence is diluted in female-centered period mystery. Rated: 3/5 Jan 26, 2021 Full Review Miss Scarlet and the Duke: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Ani Bundel WETA Sherlock Holmes has been the British detective default standard for a century. Perhaps that's why the opening to Miss Scarlet & The Duke is so refreshing. Jan 22, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Nicole G Wonderful mix of mystery and romance Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/24 Full Review Ben W It's quite interesting - though, of course, seems the main theme (and, indeed, theme music) goes along the same lines as Gentleman Jack.Still, hopefully the agenda won't be too overpowering, the picture is gorgeous and it's a pleasant enough ride. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/09/23 Full Review Karl D Amazing fun and actually really good stories with a good dose of humour. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/26/23 Full Review Becky Blackburn G Great character and fun twists. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/22/23 Full Review Amy H A++!!! A show that has mystery and is also heart warming-Could not love this show more! In a sea of shows that are not memorable, this show is a gem! Characters are all likable- Everyone needs a break from shows like Yellowstone where the characters are all despicable. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Historical inaccuracies. The last public execution in England was in 1868, so there couldn't be one in 1882 when this series takes place. Opium was not illegal at that time so there could be no opium smugglers.
