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.

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.

Pleasant. Mild. Benign.

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.

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.
