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.

This feels like a victorian "Miss Fisher." I'll definitely be watching.

It's about time Kate Phillips was the lead in a show; she's amazing.

[fullercorp]

I love mysteries that take place in this era.

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.

Only me thinking that was Hugh Jackman?

[levisionnaire]

This serie is a real masterpiece, I love it.

[ElyWill]

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!

I just finished watching. It is good. The lead pair have excellent chemistry. And Duke has an uncanny resemblance with Hugh Jackman as Logan!... Highly recommended for everyone!!

I remember when this was called Remington Steele.

Kate Phillips was excellent in Wolf Hall. Really looking forward to this!

[stephaniesnider]

PBS and Masterpiece Theater are the only things I miss not having a TV anymore. Thank God for the library.

[IntrepidFraidyCat]

I really hope this will be on PBS Masterpiece on Prime as well!

[catherinecrew]

Another good Masterpiece Mystery. Can't wait.

[johannesofie]

I liked this and hope there will be a second season!

[chainreaction]

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.
