The fifth season of Miss Scarlet — the show's first with a new truncated title and without former leading man Stuart Martin — is over, and several things are true. One: Season 5 improved as it went along. Sure, the mysteries have run the gamut from "completely forgettable"

Surprise, Miss Scarlet Season 5 is almost over. (Yes, really!) This may come as a shock to some, given that it feels as though we've barely had any time at all to adjust to this revamped incarnation of the series or to get to know the new leading

So long and fare thee well to Patrick Nash. Miss Scarlet springs the morally gray private detective from prison for one last case in "The Deal" before putting him on a boat to Australia for (presumably?) good. The show gives him a fairly great send-off in an hour,

Miss Scarlet Season 5 reaches the halfway point with the "The Thames Reaper," an hour that's far and away the best installment of this revamped new era of the show. The episode is well-balanced regarding characters and plots, and the case of the week is fascinating

It probably shouldn't be all that surprising that the penultimate episode of Miss Scarlet & The Duke Season 4 is kind of a letdown. After all, last week's installment, "The Diamond Feather," was one of the series' best episodes to date, not for

There's an old saying about being careful what you wish for because there's every possibility that you might get it one day. That's kind of what it feels like watching the fourth episode of Miss Scarlet & The Duke Season 4, an hour that

For Miss Scarlet and the Duke fans — at least those who haven't already binged all of Season 4 early with PBS Passport — the past week has likely been agony. The season's second episode concluded with the show's biggest cliffhanger to date: William was shot,
