The Irregulars

For anyone who is moaning and is unaware this show is based off of a graphic novel called the Baker Street irregulars. As someone who read the stories when I was younger I'd thought this was a great take on them and the mix of modern music and references is very much how the graphic novel was intended.

I can see this is not everyone's choice in shows, however I don't think it deserves the bad reviews.

Ok, I'll be honest, I didn't like episode one, and I nearly quit, leaving a poor review, however...

Give it a chance, and you may be surprised. I am a bit of a traditionalist when it comes to Sherlock Holmes, I like authenticity, and I expected this to follow suit, it doesn't, so don't go in expecting authenticity.

Does it look like Victorian London? Never in a million years, and who is this series aimed at? At a push I would say early to mid teens with an enjoyment for the macabre, at times it does feel like a teen drama.

However it is beautifully made, exciting, macabre, and it's interesting to see what the writers do with our beloved Baker Street Regulars, you will love or hate them, they're certainly different.

It gets better mid way through the series, and when to get a few more of the regulars, it feels more familiar, I got more out of it.

Stick with it, it's worth it in the end, 7/10.

It reminds me of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, A Knight's Tale, and a hint of Sherlock Holmes. Either way, it's entertaining as a postmodern show.

Dont be fooled by the bad reviews. Sure its not for everyone. Its a mix of His Dark materials, meeting the Magicians with a touch of The Illusionist and The greatest showman, sprinkled with a dash of Discovery of witches.

I enjoyed that the music was modern and didnt 'fit in'. Tbh the soundtrack is pretty decent.

Acting alright. A bit of cliche here and there but overall entertaining. And thats what you want, right?

I am hopping for a season 2.
