MASTERPIECE: "MISS SCARLET AND THE DUKE"
January 24, 2021  | By David Bianculli

PBS, 8:00 p.m. ET

 
Last week’s premiere episode set up this new series with a lot of vintage TV touchstones. The episode began with Linda Shelby’s Eliza Scarlet introduced as a sort of Victorian Honey West, and ended with her being visited and advised by the ghost of her late father, as in the Canadian Mountie hero of Due South. And now we know not only her character, but a few others – so with her private eye agency opened, using her father’s name for acceptability, let’s see what kind of cases she deals with. Check local listings.
