This series is like candy to me. I love Phryne as a “modern” woman - an independent & adventurous private detective who flies planes, drives fast cars, drinks hard liquor, & carries a gun. And other strong female characters too. Quirky intriguing plots. Not a fan of the long descriptions of fashion (though enjoy the actual fashion used in the TV adaption). Didn’t like - not a diverse cast (white, cis, het, etc).
