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.
