Miss Scarlet And The Duke Needs To Put Eliza’s Struggles To Rest In S5

Summary:

• Miss Scarlet and The Duke is a British-American period crime drama set in Victorian London.
• The show follows Miss Eliza Scarlet, who has taken over her father's private detective agency and struggles to keep it running in a male-dominated world.
• The show has not yet been renewed for the next season, but if it is, the writers would have to stop Eliza's struggles in order to develop her further.

From the beginning of Miss Scarlet And The Duke, audiences were captivated by Eliza Scarlet's strength, which was absolutely necessary to survive in a world where no one took her seriously. Romantic or not, the show was a success simply because of its fair portrayal of the injustices faced by women in Victorian London.

Thanks to the wonderful acting of Kate Phillips, private detective Miss Scarlet has secured her place in the hearts of the audience and now viewers are clamoring for more.

Whether season 5 will be produced or not is still in question, but if the show continues, it will have to shake things up.

Fans feel that Eliza has already had her fair share of struggles, and if Season 5 ever hits their screens, it will have to give her struggling business a boost, and perhaps a new character arc to go with it.

Miss Scarlet And The Duke Season 5 Predictions

While it's always fun and inspiring to see a strong character face all kinds of challenges but stay true to who she is and what she's good at, there's a limit to every struggle.

Over the past 4 seasons, Miss Scarlet And The Duke has made sure the audience knows how hard life is for Eliza and how poorly she's treated by most of the men around her.

Sure, society has hardly changed in 4 years for Eliza to be fully accepted, but the small community around her would surely know that Henry Scarlet's daughter is no worse than her father in the detective business. As entertaining as it was to watch her struggle, now would be the perfect time to see her talents recognized at least a little.

To keep the episodes fresh, Eliza's character desperately needs her own development. Instead, she has been stuck for the past 4 seasons, trying to make ends meet and take care of her basic needs.

Any development and growth is almost impossible under such constant stress, but the longer the audience has watched, the more repetitive it has become. The same old problems kept piling up, leading to the same reactions and pretty much the same resolutions.

Allowing the character some happiness and success, in the case of Miss Scarlet and the Duke, would not be tantamount to lessening the intensity of the show.

On the contrary, with Eliza's ambition, the growth would likely push her to get involved in even bigger, more dangerous cases and get in contact with even more influential people, which would certainly be a blast to watch.

We're sure the Duke would have a lot to say about that, too, if they can finally get him to stay for more than a few episodes.

Whether you agree that Miss Scarlet And The Duke would only benefit from Eliza's success, or want to see her struggle a little more, we should all agree that we need to see season 5 of the show.

Be sure to keep an eye out for all the exciting news and behind-the-scenes updates to be the first to know if the show is renewed or cancelled.
