πŸ’ The Wife's Pick

Looking for something cozy, clever, and binge-worthy? This month's recommendation comes straight from the boss at home.

Miss Scarlet and the Duke

Set in Victorian London circa 1880, this British detective series follows Eliza Scarlet (Kate Phillips of Peaky Blinders and The Crown), who takes over her late father's detective agency β€” becoming London's first-ever female private investigator.

Working alongside the gruff but charming Scotland Yard Inspector William "The Duke" Wellington (Stuart Martin), Eliza tackles fascinating cases while defying every social expectation of the era. Think Sherlock Holmes meets sharp wit, gorgeous period costumes, and just the right amount of romantic tension.

Why You'll Love It:

  • Clever mysteries with satisfying twists

  • Brilliant banter between the leads

  • Beautiful Victorian-era sets and costumes

  • 5 seasons available β€” perfect for binge-watching

If you enjoy Murdoch Mysteries, Sherlock, or The Alienist, this one's for you.

πŸ’‘ Tip: Getting the Best Olympic Coverage

πŸ“Ί Finding Olympic Channels

Olympic coverage is spread across multiple channels. Look for:

  • CBC β€” Main Canadian broadcaster

  • TSN and Sportsnet β€” Additional coverage and alternate feeds

  • Peacock β€” US coverage (if available)

⚠️ Service Transparency β€” Recent Outages

I believe in being upfront about PowerTV's reliability. Here's what happened recently:

  • February 4th β€” Full system outage from approximately 7:30 PM – 8:30 PM (about 1 hour). All services were affected during this time.

  • February 5th β€” Brief server reboot around 8:15 PM. Service was restored within minutes.

I know downtime is frustrating, and I appreciate your patience. Transparency matters β€” if there are issues, you'll hear about them here.
