What to Expect

PremiereLens read

Miss Scarlet is a Victorian procedural built around a woman running a detective agency in 1880s London, a city that treats her ambition as an inconvenience at best. Each episode is case-driven, but the investigations keep bumping up against the same wall: a profession that simply does not want her there. The tone stays grounded and dramatic rather than gothic or sensational.

Her working arrangement with the Duke is the engine of most of the friction. He has the institutional credibility she lacks; she has the drive and the instincts. Neither is entirely comfortable with the arrangement, and that mutual wariness gives the partnership its texture across the series. Six seasons in, the push and pull between them has accumulated enough history to feel genuinely earned rather than manufactured.

Strongest Match

Grace keeps the same Victorian-era detective drive as Miss Scarlet, with a case-by-case structure that turns pressure into momentum. A methodical cold-case hunt is constantly tugged by a detective’s missing-wife obsession, so the tension feels personal and relentless, darker and more psychologically heavy than Eliza’s friction-filled partnership.

Why this pick

Bookish shares Miss Scarlet’s love of period London mysteries where competence and persistence carry the investigation. Instead of street-level sleuthing, the clues come through books and quiet observation, with protected, troubled characters adding warmth and restraint, making the danger feel subtler and slower than Eliza’s more direct, partnership-driven push-pull.

The Law According to Lidia Poët

Netflix • Apr 15, 2026

DramaCrime

In late 19th-century Turin, Lidia Poët, fights against everything and everyone to get what is rightfully hers: to be enrolled in the official register of lawyers. Nothing could stop her dream of becoming the first female lawyer in...

View show

Why this pick

The Law According to Lidia Poët fits Miss Scarlet’s world of women fighting to be taken seriously while solving crimes. Courtroom-adjacent maneuvering and bureaucratic obstruction create steady tension, and Lidia’s stubborn courtroom battles echo Eliza’s refusal to be sidelined, with a more combative, legal-leaning pace than pure street investigation.
