Yes, this was not expected. We all know about Eliza's abilities and non-penetration since the first episodes. But somehow everyone is developing, and she is essentially all in place. I really hoped that something would move this season. Just keep Wellington in limbo, yes, the style of the main character, but in fact nothing ... And wait for another season in which Duke can be thrown out at all, or show only at the very end. Still, this is not just a detective series.
Yeah. Miss Scarlet and the Duke, who is essentially missing 🤔 At the end of 4 seasons, we finally saw Eliza's own agency under her name, but we didn't get any further with the Duke. I really hoped that she would at least choose Nash, but that's a bummer. Moses was not there at all, it was immediately felt. The series is a little deflated. It's a pity
And I liked the season) After all, this is a detective in the first place, and if you set Eliza up with the duke, what will happen? The end, probably) I am extremely glad that Eliza finally has her own agency under her own name. I'm also happy for Fitzroy, a cool character who has development. I will be waiting for the fifth season.
PS It's good that there was no Arabella this season)
As a detective, the series is still good, in principle. But the fact that at the end of each season GG is again at the initial stage is like this. Everyone has development. Herceg left "for advanced training courses" and to sort himself out. Fitzroy's father rebuffed his father and defended his decision to be a simple employee. Phelps was promoted again. And Elizabeth seems to forget to "save" at the end of the season. It's not pleasant and everyone starts from the current state, and she starts from the threshold with a new sign. I liked their line with Nash, but not in a romantic way. Precisely as companion friends. "With your mind and my beauty" is a better description of the duo. It's a pity that Patrick fucked it up so badly. I hope the Accountant will return next season. Funny person 😁
As a result, the season is on the fourth. But this chewing gum with Herceg has to be solved. Or we blow the balloon and fly to new adventures. Or fuck it, we're already spitting it out and moving on.
@mari_zem: I feel like a granny from the shop, but Eliza is already 26 years old, and what does she have from romantic experience? A fleeting kiss ten years ago? It's time for the girl to get married...
@mari_zem: he didn't have to run away, but stop just walking in circles around her, and take her in a "turn" properly, kiss her at least once properly with all the passion, so that she might have something "stirred up" in the right place, maybe then her thoughts would switch in the right direction. As it is, she doesn't even know what she's losing😁
@alesenok: I think it's the fault that they've known each other for a very long time. They know each other too well. Moreover, I think he does not hope that the feelings are mutual. That 's why he confessed and left 🤣
@alesenok: Elsa is good at her job, but when it comes to something romantic (especially the Duke), she would rather watch everything fall apart than take any really decisive step. I can't even imagine what could make her think that she's losing a lot.
@child_bluda: so yes, it's normal human behavior: work is her comfort zone, feelings and relationships are to get out of her comfort zone and try something new. And "loses a lot" is what I meant not in the sense of even specifically the Duke, but in the sense of just sex even. As correctly noted above, except for a second kiss 100 years ago, she never had anything at all, and if the Duke had at least once brought her to try, inflamed her as it should, then she would have thought only about it later😁
@alesenok: Well, here we must not forget that this is a different era. Eliza, although she is all so progressive and independent, but still a girl of her time, reputation and all that :) It is clear that at any time, there were those who go against the rules, there were always brothels, they had lovers / mistresses, illegitimate children, etc.
The dynamics of the main characters are reminiscent of the series "Murdoch Investigations", which I have now abandoned, but they were able to find a solution for the main characters, however, pulling the viewer like a cat for a bow of seasons 7 like (I won't spoiler what exactly happened, suddenly someone wants to watch, the series is very similar to this one). I hope they will come to some kind of logic here next season, because I'm not at all sure that this series will be like Murdoch for 17 seasons with a full Santa Barbara for the characters.
@mixer1701: don't forget that Murdoch has 20+ episodes per season, and at the start the series there looked like popularizing science and a parody of scientific progress. I haven't stopped watching now (and this is the 17th season ending :)) there is nothing from science there, the main characters have iddilia and everything has turned into a pure detective story, practically.
I agree with all the comments above, even if they are a little contradictory) I have conflicting feelings about the season, too. But there is a feeling that everything is so looped for a reason. Either the series will be closed, and then for Eliza it is a logical conclusion - an agency under her name. Or it is a certain point after which the plot will develop in some other way. And I liked how Phelps repeated the words of the Duke from the first season. I hope I'm not mistaken, and William did tell his subordinates that he expects reports by six in the evening with legible handwriting, but I started reviewing the second season before the start of the fourth, so correct me if I'm wrong)
The first reaction to Nash's words about leaving: all the men are running from Eliza: Moises, Duke, Nash. Thus, we will soon lose all the familiar male characters. It's good that we always have buka Phelps and charming Fitzroy.
As a detective, there are zero questions. But where is the love? Where is the Duke himself, after all, for half a season? I was expecting a reunion, but it turned out as always. I was so worried about the on-screen relationships of the characters only in the Bones.
Not the ending you expect. Neither in terms of romance, nor in terms of character growth. It was as if we had been standing still all season, and then suddenly took a step back.
Apparently, Stuart Martin was paid more in "Rebel Moon" or he saw the prospects himself, the shooting schedules overlapped, so the actor was no longer enough for Scarlet and Duke. And even Nash wasn't particularly happy this season. The series is blown away. I would like to get the last season with more or less complete decisions on the fate of the characters.
I can't figure it out, I kind of liked it (especially the kiss I've been waiting for for two years), but it seems like the season came out a little weak 😭
The last series was a little pleased with its dynamism and detective component. But the season was deeply disappointing. The series is marking time, the characters are not developing. Eliza herself has been quarrelsome, arrogant and boorish since the first season, and remained in the fourth. For some reason, they came up with the story of Eliza's acquaintance with William from childhood, although everything was different in the first season. Despite the failure of an independent detective agency, Eliza gets her own agency. That is, everything goes back to the first season. It seems that the creators of the series themselves do not know what to do and where to develop the series.
@Kookabara: last season, as far as I remember, when the Duke was threatened to be sent to another county because he is not married. I thought that they would fictitiously get married, live together, and then everything would work out... It's a shame(
@Kookaburra: and how was it in the first season? As far as I remember, it was exactly like that initially, they had known each other since she was 16 years old. Only she said that he had kissed her then, comforting her about the death of the dog. And here they showed another message for a kiss and in general she kissed him, but the age remained the same 16 years old she was both there and there
@Kookaburra: Definitely not. Initially, it was that they had known each other since childhood, or rather since adolescence, since their father was the Duke's "teacher", well, here they already showed how their father met the Duke, how he appeared in their family
I looked at it with pleasure. I didn't even expect it. Yes, chewing gum with Duke and Eliza's development, but overall the pleasant aftertaste remains. Somehow everything is very cozy, homey. Now Mr. Potts has finally joined the team)
I didn't like the season. The whole point of the series is in the relationship between Eliza and the Duke. The Duke was leaked, his behavior is not very logical: recognition and departure. The kiss is not passionate. She didn't answer at all. I hoped that in the end she would decide to go to him, but it all started again in a circle. What do you hear, season 5 will be?
@Veronika1: It will be. The mainshow is on pause, the ratings are not bad, why not? I read in the news that, approximately, the release date of "Miss Scarlet and the Duke" season 5 in Russia will be March 20, 2025. Critics make good predictions, but fans should wait for official news from the creators of the series.
I didn't understand: did the Duke leave for a year on an internship, or for a month on a business trip? I'm looking at the translation, I don't know what was in the original, the creators would have decided. Either Phelps can't be appointed commissioner, then you're welcome. Now Nash is an investigator, now a criminal. One step forward and two steps back, not a series. What prevents the main characters from getting married and continuing joint investigations? It is clear that Eliza will not stay at home. In general, there were more questions after viewing than there were answers.
Overall, the season is not bad, but as stated above, I got tired of chewing gum with the duke last season, for me it's better to cut off this line altogether. I'm glad that Nash is back, I really like the character, I hope that if the series is extended, then we will see Patrick in it, their interaction with Eliza is still great. And most importantly, it is necessary to return Moses, his absence was very noticeable, so he was sorely missed!
