What viewers say
Viewers enjoy this lively, family-friendly spin on Sherlock Holmes mainly for its star's charm and comic energy, its playful, self-aware storytelling, the period visuals and a quirky supporting cast. Younger viewers in particular like the empowering, coming-of-age tone. The common criticisms are a simple mystery that leans on exposition, a middle stretch that drags and a runtime that feels long, along with fourth-wall breaks some find overused. Traditional Sherlock fans object to how the famous detective is handled.
Best for: Viewers who want a light, spirited period adventure with a clever heroine and aren't Sherlock purists.
