Miss Scarlet has quietly become one of the more dependable crime dramas currently available in Australia on Amazon Prime Video and Foxtel Now, and in the US on PBS Masterpiece Amazon Channel and Thirteen. Every one of its 7 seasons holds up. A 7/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Kate Phillips's performance alone is worth the time investment. Start it on Amazon Prime Video whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

Miss Scarlet is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. The plotting gives Miss Scarlet its backbone, but it is the characters you come back for. When Eliza Scarlet's father dies, he leaves her penniless, but she resolves to continue his detective agency. To operate in a male-dominated world, though, she needs a partner... Step forward a detective known as the Duke. The writing gets a boost from Kate Phillips and Cathy Belton, who sell every scene they're in. It ran for 7 seasons (2020–2026), and the writing holds up across every one of them. The plot mechanics of Miss Scarlet never overwhelm the human cost underneath them. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Viewers who think they have seen every crime drama tend to find Miss Scarlet proves them wrong. The tonal similarities to Strike are real, though Miss Scarlet carves out its own identity quickly. At 7 seasons, this is a genuine commitment — one that pays off. Kate Phillips's performance is the kind that shows up on best-of lists years later. If you have been looking for something to fill the gap left by a recently finished story, this is a reliable answer.
