I caught the first episode on PBS and it was delightful. Strong Lady Sherlock vibes. I’ve finished Bridgerton and was rewatching Sanditon, so I guess I only watch (and read) period dramas now 🤷♀️
Anyone else watching?

I liked the first episode! I’ve been thinking about getting PBS Passport (not just for this, but I love Masterpiece in general, and other PBS shows). In which case I could binge it, but on the other hand, it’s nice to have a weekly show to look forward to.
I loved the duke’s accent.
Her teeth seem waaay to perfect for Victorian England, but it’s a small quibble. (She’s lovely.)

Me too! I started my DVR to record the series.
It reminds me of the Veronica Speedwell book series.

I liked the first episode! I found it slow in some places, but I will definitely keep watching.

Just started the first episode but I love all things Victorian England.
And William Wellington is Silas from the Jamestown series also from PBS that I loved (but we got the Netflix DVDs to watch it).

I watched the second episode. Still liking it
Is she supposed to be well off or poor? She dresses and presents herself as at least "comfortable" but then hasn't paid the maid or in debt to the owner of her townhouse.

I think the storyline is that they were fairly well off, but then after her mother died, her father began letting things slide and drinking. She seems to wear the same couple of nice dresses over and over, because she’s trying to keep up appearances, and I think the maid stays out of loyalty.

She had to pay off her dad's gambling debts, too.

We watched episode 5 last night, and goodness, it was stressful but really good. I’m looking forward to the last episode.

I was low key scared the first time I watched episode 5. I found the leather mask guy very unsettling. It was a more pleasant re-watch experience for me. I’m also a giant baby.

Is episode 6 the season 1 finale? I watched it last evening, but didn't see a preview for the next one. I also thought the ending was perfect!

I had hoped for a little more development of their relationship, but I was entertained regardless.
