Miss Scarlet

This light-hearted British-French crime comedy-drama series showcases detective inspectors sent from London to solve murders on the fictional Caribbean island of Saint-Marie. The sunny setting contrasts with Miss Scarlet's London fog, but the clever puzzles and delightful ensemble cast provide a similarly enjoyable viewing experience.

Inspired by the stories of G.K. Chesterton, this series follows a clever priest with a knack for solving mysteries in his English village. Father Brown's sharp intellect and keen understanding of human nature make it akin to Miss Scarlet's own sleuthing adventures.

Diving into the gritty underworld of New York City during the Gilded Age, this psychological thriller focuses on a team, including a criminal psychologist (or 'alienist'), a newspaper illustrator, and a secretary from the police department, as they attempt to solve a series of gruesome murders. Its evocative historical atmosphere and strong characters make it a must-watch for those who enjoy period-centric detective shows.
