Female private detectives were actually pretty common in nineteenth century Britain, and detective agencies frequently included the fact that they employed women in their advertisements. As shocking as this may be, people in the nineteenth were actually aware that there were plenty of social settings where a woman could go unremarked upon much more easily than a man, and that there were plenty of people who might much more willingly confide in a woman than in a man.
@@pauliedoodle1939 I have no idea how many women worked as secretaries at that time, but generally that was not a women's profession in that period. There were, however, plenty of female private detectives: www.historyextra.com/period/victorian/female-detectives-career-womens-history/.

a female lead and a hot scot, why, yes, yes, i will. but i am expected to remember this 2 months from now? PBS, dude, dude-bro, you are going to have to text me a reminder.
Check out a movie from this year called "Enola Holmes" and "Murdoch Mysteries " from 2008+ (series), Miss Fishers murder mysteries are also good but this is set in the 1920s
Check out The Mrs Bradley Mysteries (there is only 5 episodes, i was mad when i learnt theres 66 books in the set) and Miss Fishers Murder Mysteries, both are set in the 1920s but totally worth it.
I just finished watching. It is soooooo good. The lead pair have excellent chemistry. And Duke has an uncanny resemblance with Hugh Jackman as Logan!... Highly recommended for everyone!!
This trailer looks like a Hollywood Sherlock Holmes imitation with Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law. Kate Phillips is such a firecracker actress and stands out in all her supporting roles. Nice to see her star in this!
Great show. I like the stories and how she went about solving them. The cinematography was outstanding. I like how her dress hugs her body. It not on par with Sherlock but hopefully season 2 ups the ante.
What perfect timing! I just finished reading a historical paranormal mystery series (set in Victorian London) recently and I'm looking for another series to binge on. Can't wait to watch this!
RIght and I'm a romance reader and was looking forward to Bridgeton.... it was ok for a bridge gap (see what I did there) .. but this THIS IS BRILLIANT.... no sex... just perfect chemistry
I just watched the first episode and I was hooked. I skipped Bridgerton even though I read almost all the books because of the problems with the Duke and I but I digress. I really like Eliza and William's chemistry. I also think she has great chemistry with Moses as well. I like their interaction from the first to the second episode. I definitely recommend it.
@@sisuguillam5109 What we are not over the cold yet? What? It is not done yet? Shit. We know 99.4 percent of people survive it just like the flu. What my business has to really die? What I need to be homeless? Please say we are done.
It is a UK new series & played there over the late spring/summer. It is a really fun & interesting show. The leads are perfectly picked for those parts & there are some fun mysteries along the way. You gotta watch it.
@@andreap9869 my guess is that if it does well on PBS then we'll be seeing a second series (season). The ending certainly left it open for some new shenanigans. I really loved this show & would love to see several years worth.
Could y’all bring Sanditon back to honor Jane Austen’s legacy? An original, beautiful show with talented actors that have more chemistry than anything I’ve seen. Not a copy of Sherlock.
I adore Miss Fisher! I also adore chocolate cake. That won’t stop me from adoring red velvet cake.. and this new show, too (hopefully). 🙂 I’ll take dramatically similar as long as it’s still enjoyable.
Haha im in Oz... and didn't see it...but then again I never watch free to air...which was good cuz I didn't have to wait week to week to watch it... got to do it over a weekend.
In our exclusive interview on 31 January 2020, Rachael New stated that she is currently working on scripts for season 2. It was later confirmed by Stuart Martin in an interview with The Book of Man that they were “due to do a second series of Miss Scarlet and The Duke in September [2020] in Dublin”. Which most likely means another 9+ months before we see it aired, ugh. Loved this series
@@KOYoss860 It was in the UK. If you have a VPN and if you know someone in England with a television license, you can watch any British show that you want.

Yea the media today really loves to push the sexism in the old days narrative to the extreme.
@@mastersnet18 And of course old media pretended that women detectives simply did not exist. Except for Nancy Drew.
Thank you!
Actually, most of the women worked as secretarial staff in those days and weren’t actually detectives themselves, though I’m sure there were a few.

It's about time Kate Phillips was the lead in a show; she's amazing.
This feels like a victorian "Miss Fisher." I'll definitely be watching.
I've been needing a good detective show since Ms. Fisher went off air. This show is so good. You'll be hooked from episode 1.
She's a lot more subtle than Miss Fisher but she gets the job done.
@@Person1865 subtle as in?
Have you watched Agatha Raisin? That one is good too

Same!
Ha, I was thinking the same thing
You've never heard of tv time?
yes, indeed. quite. see you there!!
I may have to actually write this down in pen on my 2021 wall calendar.
Funny and true
Fantastic! And it premieres on what would have been my mother’s 79th birthday. She loved Masterpiece on PBS. I’ll be watching it with her in spirit.
I love mysteries that take place in this era.
Check out a movie from this year called "Enola Holmes" and "Murdoch Mysteries " from 2008+ (series), Miss Fishers murder mysteries are also good but this is set in the 1920s
The "Alienist" if you haven't seen it. Incredible!
you must read, if you have not already, the Anne Perry books set in Victorian era.
Check out The Mrs Bradley Mysteries (there is only 5 episodes, i was mad when i learnt theres 66 books in the set) and Miss Fishers Murder Mysteries, both are set in the 1920s but totally worth it.
@@jobob47 That's what I came to say! I am partial to the Thomas Pitt (and Charlotte, of course) series.
This serie is a real masterpiece,I love it.
Only me thinking that was Hugh Jackman?
I thought it was Jude Law when we first saw him.
Yes but more handsome
Oh he was full breath worthy in Jamestown!💗💗💗
Hugh Jackman is Australian, that guy is very obviously a Scot. Lol
@@pauliedoodle1939 because actors have never adopted a different accent for a production.
Miss Fischer’s British grandmother.......perfection 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Sorry but can you tell me is it for the whole family or R rated please ?
@@tasneemkamel9006 whole family can watch. No such scenes are there.
@@monideepamitra7622 thanks, gonna watch it now 👍
I love it.

She was great in The Crown
It's nothing like it
But it's a British production... so million times better
Another good Masterpiece Mystery. Can't wait.
Kate Phillips was excellent in Wolf Hall. Really looking forward to this!
This is so great ! I just finished it and I need to watch it again !!! I love the Duke !!!!
It’s a great series,I watch it every week!❤️🇨🇦
Great show. I like the stories and how she went about solving them. The cinematography was outstanding. I like how her dress hugs her body. It not on par with Sherlock but hopefully season 2 ups the ante.
I really hope this will be on PBS Masterpiece on Prime as well!
January 17th!
AND that they don't make you wait for a new episode every week.
That be cool
Goes to show how good this actress was playing Linda bc she still annoys me😂😂
So glad there will be a season 2.
I liked this and hope there will be a second season!
PBS and Masterpiece Theater are the only things I miss not having a TV anymore. Thank God for the library.
I remember when this was called Remington Steele.
Hahaha Brilliant!
Yes! I loved that show back in the day.
And Moonlighting sorta
Don't forget Miss Fisher! Phryne and Jack are epic!🧡 it can be an very fun setup!
LMAO old folks checking in 🙋🏾♀️
Great show! I love this one and dead still! Victorian London Mysteries are my weakness!
Dead still was fantastic.

Hi , what was the book series?
:-)
Yes what is the book series?
I'd like to know too
Do tell? Name of the series please!!
This is worth the watch! Can’t wait!! I wish all the fans raving about Bridgerton chemistry... would watch this .. and learn! 😂

Im glad im not the only person who had problems with Daphne...and Simon...
I ❤️❤️ this show - haven't missed viewing an episode yet!
@@kelljA I'm glad you feel the same. As much as you can say to each their own, consent should never be in question or glossed over as romance.
Ahhh shades of the Lady Charlotte Holmes series by Sherry Thomas!
Exactly! That’s exactly what I was thinking! It’s too bad they didn’t choose her and pay her for the idea they stole!
@@naomiweaver1855 Well you know, there are a LOT of Holmes retellings, plenty changing genders. Still fun though.
Seen this, it's wonderful! I highly recommend it if it airs on PBS masterpiece theatre!
Holy Crap, this looks intriguing, to say the least!
Something to look forward to this winter!
for real. I am over the hoax plandemic.

I love this TV Show and hope there will be more :-) Thanks
Remington Steele but make it Victorian. I AM HERE FOR IT. ❤️ The costuming looks A+ so far! I'm SO EXCITED!
I watched this months ago! I loved it!

How do you watch this in the states?
This looks exciting, I need another period drama, since COVID-19 I’ve watched so much TV, I need something new. Can’t wait.🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️
An escape from the crazy world we live in
Have you seen Belgravia? The new Juilan Fellowes series? It was so good!
@@gregbryant516 no I have not seen it. I believe it’s on one of the cable channels. I have seen Sanditon .😃
Yes, can't watch anymore of that drivel that passes as entertainment on hallmark chnl. Oh the reruns, the reruns.👎👎👎
It's great! Already seen it here in the UK, cant wait for season 2!
Love these period pieces from pbs.
It's Lorenzo from Medici! I guess I'll give this a try :)
Anxiously anticipating Season 2
Rachel New…give yourself 5 stars 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Scarlet seems "cute", quite the teaser. Can't wait to watch the movie!
I wish I could watch it in Poland. Love “Masterpiece Theatre”!
Get a VPN
@@Mayaspiral Thanks. I’m gonna do that!
Maybe you could try a VPN, a lot of people do that to gain access to shows only available in other countries now.
Edit: oop somebody already said that
Series was great, wish to see more
Great series. Really hope there will be a second one.
Damn excellent show!!! I love it💞💞💞 Just finished watching the first season. I’ll be watching the next season, if they make one, I hope they do

There's not going to be a season 2. It ended the way the scripwriter intrnded, no matter how many people hated it.
Sanditon wasn’t that great. I had high hopes, but it didn’t seem very Jane Austen like probably because they had to take liberties with it.
@@emmalee9747 yes! sidney was insufferable, like a mr darcy wannabe but taken too far
I couldn't understand a word she said. Just me? Thank goodness for closed captioning!
Awesome! I love her from Peaky Blinders!!!
Moses & Scarlett are my favorite !!!!
I watched this months ago on a different channel,very good,would recommened.
Please season 2!!!!
I love it. I love it. I love it. ❤️💞💖💞💞💖💞💖💞💖❤️ I am so excited. Can't wait 😍😍😍
Excellent!
Looks amazing
can these PLEASE be on Netflix or some streaming platform! I cannot afford anymore online platforms to purchase :(
It gives me Miss FIsher's Murder Mysteries vibes but grittier... I'm in
I love Masterpiece on PBS, my favourite tv station.
Hey, this got released a while ago in the uk, it’s great and definitely worth a watch with a bucket of popcorn
Donde se puede ver la serie
this is such a great show
Is there season 2 ? Finished the 1st one month ago .
The intro music is some next level for a tv show is there a full version or only this love it
IM SOOOO HERE FOR THIS!!!!
I'll be watching for the tall, beautiful man... tyvm.
Miss Fisher already exists
I adore Miss Fisher! I also adore chocolate cake. That won’t stop me from adoring red velvet cake.. and this new show, too (hopefully). 🙂 I’ll take dramatically similar as long as it’s still enjoyable.
But sadly they aren’t making any more so we must be content with this
@@thebigfs2330 well said.

Wonderful
Show!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
" dou you hit the scoundrel with your purse "
Gold
I watched the series earlier this year, it just got better and better👍🏻
There’s marathon coming!!!
That show looks like a lot of fun.
Darn, for a moment I thought this was season 2 :(
I've solved the mystery!
It was *Miss Scarlet* in *the PBS lineup* with the *revisionist history!*
jolly good.
Nice, spot on.
This looks fun and intriguing and I will definitely watch....... even though all the women's sideparted hairstyles are making my right eye twitch.
I have watched the entire series and it was okay. It will not win any awards but at the same time I was mildly entertained.
Trailer reminds me of Storm and Silence book series by Robert Thier
That is one book series I wouldn't mind becoming a movie
WHY DOES NO ONE LISTEN IT COULD BE SUCHHH A GREAT IDEA
Love that book series!
That book series was great till the 5th one
This is so feeding my Phryne Fisher withdrawal XD
I'm so ready for this!😍🤩
Looks cool!!! I'll be watching it.
In detective genre which is crowded with poor series and copy paste writing Miss Scarlet is just so original and
refreshing.A must see!!
I LOVE THIS SERIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love it to bits!
This was already out in the UK in march/april
Hows this??? Worth watching or not??
We always get these things late across the pond.
@Nicky L will do then.. thanks :)
SO SOOOO good!!!
OMG I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT
Season 1 was great. Has anyone heard when we will be seeing season 2? 🙏🏻

Is it official that there will be another series? I haven't heard anything.

I can't wait!!
I can’t wait. 💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿
Love her costumes!
Yes please!
Both lead actors should be cast in Bridgerton (future seasons) 😍😍
