Season 6 Review: Season 6 ultimately proves there is still plenty of story left to tell, with both familiar and new characters, as Eliza continues to grow personally and professionally. Read full review

Season 1 Review: 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. Read full review

Season 1 Review: What makes “Miss Scarlet and the Duke” work so well is what feels like brevity. In five episodes, 50-minutes each, there’s a breathless quality to its blend of mystery-of-the-week and an overarching story. Read full review

Season 1 Review: It’s got a blue-sky vibe, like those old USA crime shows, with small comic bits woven into the weekly procedural doings. The sleuthing isn’t hard to follow, the costumes are pretty enough, and issues of race and sexual orientation have been written into the familiar period setting. It’s easy to watch, if you’re looking for easy. Read full review

Season 6 Review: All in all, "Secrets and Lies" was a solid enough start to the new season, giving audiences a chance to get acquainted with Eliza and Alexander's new status quo and the potential issues in their relationship. Let's hope there's more to Alexander's character than meets the eye, however, as Miss Scarlet season 6 continues. Read full review

Season 1 Review: 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. Read full review

Absolutely excellent television. Strong characters with a believable dynamic and fast-paced cases that still require critical thinking.

It sticks solidly in its period drama setting, using that to its advantage. The characters are 3-dimensional with flaws, hopes, skills, and personalAbsolutely excellent television. Strong characters with a believable dynamic and fast-paced cases that still require critical thinking.
