There are several unsatisfactory and unlikable things that I have constantly bothered during the viewing of this 4-season series:
The soundtrack synchronized with the ongoing scenes are often quite annoying. It is a typically used in BBC drama series, so formulaic and overused. I have been constantly bothered.
The dialogue sentences delivered by the leading main female actress who plays Miss Scarlet, her voice volume is too low and too vague, especially the ending words of all her sentences, often indistinct like mumbling. Without the English subtitles, I don't think I can catch what she is actually talking about and have to click back a little backward to listen again, in order to get them completely. Her voice often dwindled in the last several words.
The male leading actor Stuart Martin, who plays William 'The Duke' Wellington, also has the same problem. He looks like the twin brother of Hugh Jackson, also very handsome and very talented, albeit a bit overacting sometimes in this series.
Was 'Drinking on the Job', a traditionally accepted and allowed deed or custom by the Scotland Yard? There's only once that I saw Wellington, the Duke, drinking WATER instead of liquor when he was wounded by gunshots and it was fed by Scarlet. And nobody, I mean NOBODY ever drank water, in almost every and all the western movies or TV serials, but hard liquors.
Nonetheless, I have finished watching the total 4 seasons drama, because Kate Phillips who played Eliza Scarlet is such a fantastic actress. I rarely found any actor who could evenly have chemistry to each and every other character or supporting one like her. So talented. Natural and likable. She has made Eliza Scarlet a larger-than-life realistic person.
Even this drama series, as every British BBC drama series, is very traditionally predictable, but I am still looking forward to the coming-up Season 5, mainly for the good acting of Ms. Kate Phillips.
