It also took me a wee while to get used to the recasting of the role of Colonel Sebastian Moran - not to say that the actor was bad, by any means, just that he sounded different.
Anyway, this time round, the story starts in the United States, following both Moriarty and Sherlocks death at the Reichenbach Falls, before - in the latter half - moving back to Merrie Olde Englande - with a new nemesis in the form of Helen Mirren's blackmailer Lady Milverton.

David McK (3906 KP) rated Shakespeare in Love (1998) in Movies

Whilst this is a bit slow starting, it gets better once the plot starts moving, roughly half an hour or so into it, with the introduction of (a very young) Gwyneth Paltrow as Lady Viola who - in the best traditions of Shakespeare - wants to become an actor herself, a role forbidden to females of the time, and so is forced to 'go undercover', pretending to be a young man.
Sound familiar?
It's a plot device Shakespeare would return to, time and time again.
