Our third installment of the season kicks off with Ivy’s foray into the 9 to 5 lifestyle. Trying to manage household chores, have breakfast, and still be on time for work is never easy, and that’s before factoring in all the things Ivy still does to support her employer/surrogate child Victoria Mars. It’s a lot, ok?

Our second episode begins at a VERY swanky restaurant. Ivy and Barney the Morgue Bureaucrat have gone out for a nice dinner to celebrate the latter’s promotion to chief clerk, and invited Victoria Mars and Accountant along, for some reason. To be clear: Accountant is a surprisingly good hang. It’s Victoria Mars who surprises me, given her long-standing and barely contained feud with Ivy’s fiance.

Well, reader, it’s hard to believe that we’re back for another new season of the newly renamed Miss Scarlet. LAST season ended on a bonkers note with our pal Victoria Mars (Eliza) helping out Detective Mustache (Nash) after he got into even crazier shenanigans than usual, leaving him on the hook for kidnapping and obstruction charges. More importantly (and again I point you to the show name change), Duke Silver (William) officially left our friends to go take a job in America, leaving a lot of confusion and broken hearts in his wake.

Winter is here (allegedly — as a snow loving Boston resident, I’m miffed) and so is a drama fan favorite holiday tradition: the Call The Midwife Holiday Special! I’m here to recap the show just in case you missed it, or just couldn’t get enough of our favorite nurses, nuns, and other assorted denizens of Poplar.

Have you ever had friends recommend you try something, you put it off for a while, and then immediately regret waiting so long after you finally do try it? This was my experience with Murdoch Mysteries… except we’re talking about over a decade of putting it off. Whether you’re a period drama or mystery fan, Murdoch Mysteries is a great wintertime binge.

GBH Drama interviewed Bertie Carvel on what motivates Dalgliesh this season, why the series changed the timeline of the novels, and taking on the double roles of actor and director for “Cover Her Face”.

The Marlow Murder Club is a welcome addition to the MASTERPIECE tradition of female investigators outsmarting the police — and in some cases, fellow officers — to bring wrongdoers to justice. Not only does the series show three women using their life experiences and observations, but most importantly, it shows that the small English village mystery genre can include Black and Asian diaspora characters without resorting to tokenization.

The following are four excellent shows I think you should watch in November. Why? Because they all give off strong late autumn vibes, and there’s something for everyone. All of these series are available for GBH members to stream any time on the PBS App.

Rivals is Hulu’s latest venture into original British series. The limited series, based on Jilly Cooper’s novel by the same name, picks up semi-thematically where Nolly and Funny Woman left off with the uber-competitive world of 1980’s UK independent television but ups the ante on discussing gender and racial politics.

Last time we visited Amsterdam, we met a scary mystery assassin, a doofy billionaire, and a conspiracy theorist (and only one of them walked into a bar). And speaking of which, we kick off this week’s episode in Cliff’s bar, where the team uses security footage of the club to start searching for mystery assassin.
