9/10
Based on graphic novel not Conan Doyle's work!

Once u accept that premise, it's a great show. Everyone loved the Cumberbatch's Sherlock Holmes version, where his use of internet helped solve the murders. Why can't everyone accept a group of diverse teens doing likewise using their skills in Victorian England to solve them?

One of my guilty pleasures is Sean Connery in a League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. The Irregulars reminds me of this. Forget your ingrain knowledge of Sherlock Holmes, sit back and enjoy this plucky group of teens as they try to climb out of the soul sucking life of Victorian England and solve several mysteries plus the main overarching one.

Unlike the yucky angst of most CW teen show, these kids, led by the amazing main character of Bea, work together to solve not only the mysteries provided to them by the enigmatic Dr. Holmes, but the crazy relationship between Holmes and Watson and their connection with these two men.

Look at the title, The Irregulars, because this show is about them with Sherlock merely playing a pivotal, but minor flawed role. Grab snacks and just enjoy the Irregulars, cause it is a fun, mysterious, horror stream-worthy show.
