I'm an Agatha Christie tragic. And perhaps I infuse a little to much wistfulness into my reading. But recent adaptations have tended towards the gothic if not the down right grim. Lots, if not most, of Ms Christie's books contained humour. And this is a great example, moments of drama and violence, interspersed with our plucky young duo gamely "carrying on with a stiff upper lip". Casting was perfect. Just wish Emma Thompson had a larger part, my absolute favourite 5 min of the mini series was her scene. Please Mr Laurie, direct more ASAP.
I love most things Holmes. Elementary, Sherlock, Enola Holmes. There's been some books crediting Mrs Hudson as the brains behind the man I've been less keen on but hey. My point is I'm not a purist and this a take I enjoy. The Prince angle is a bit silly but a device to add an educated voice that can aid in opening doors. The thing that grates me the most is the modern phrases in the dialogue. But it's a small thing. The supernatural angle is something I enjoyed also. My understanding is it's true to the graphic novels. Which I shall be investigating now I'm aware of them. It's not what I expected but in a good way.
