Review by Manraviel

I know that the language and music are chock full of anachronisms. But that doesn't bother me. This is not the first show to introduce anachronisms to tell a story to a more modern audience and it won't be the last. Also, the detractors seem to think that Sherlock Holmes and Co. Have been needlessly included in this supernatural story. That is a fair criticism if you are deeply wedded to the idea of the Sherlock Holmes ACD dreamed up. But there have been SO many versions of the SH character that considering that as a criticism does not hold much water any more.

So did I like the show? Yes. The cast was good with decent acting from most of them. The reveals and mysteries were interesting to hold my attention. The monsters of the week actually made me care about them.

I say give it a chance. But please leave your preconceived notions about what a story involving Sherlock Holmes and that era should be like, and just enjoy the ride.
