A very cool modern setting for the Sherlock character. This has great stories with some very talented actors. I like the way it uses technology in the show as well. Probably one of the BBC most successful shows.

"I love Luther a lot. I get wrapped up in that show. I watch a lot of BBC shows like Sherlock. I grew up with American TV and it’s the same thing all the time. I know what’s going to happen before I even put it on. It’s not that great."

Book Rating
The second full-length Sherlock Holmes novel (after A Study in Scarlet), in which Arthur Conan Doyle further develops the character of Sherlock and Dr Watson, in particular bringing to attention the former's cocaine habit and his ability to be a master of disguise.

This time, the duo are investigation the strange affair of Mary Marston - whose father disappeared years ago - and her unknown benefactor; an affair which later proves to have ties to the Indian Mutiny of 1857, and four co-conspirators (hence 'The sign of THE four', as it was originally called who each lay claim to a treasure stolen during that mutiny.

Can definitely see the characters being developed; in particular that of Dr Watson.

Enola Holmes, as a character, was someone I had never heard of before the 2020 Netflix film of the same name.

Unlike her older brother Sherlock . Or even the oldest child of the family (she's the youngest) Mycroft Holmes.

Yes, as in *that* Sherlock Holmes.

Anyway, I do remember watching that first film and finding it entertaining enough, even if I don't remember all the particulars (aside from a lot of 4th-wall breaking talking to the screen going on).

That's not really that much of a hindrance to this one, with the key events given a quick recap at the start of the film - I also have to say that the frequency of the 4th wall breaking seems to have been cut back a bit (thankfully).

This movie takes the (real) story of the matchstick girls strike of 1888 as its basis, with Enola investigating the disappearance of a worker from that factory in a case that, as time progresses, starts to entwine more and more with that which her brother Sherlock is working on, eventually culminating in a (very) famous antagonist coming to light ...

(even if I did call it roughly 3/4s of the way through)

Reggie Heath has rented the offices that would be Sherlock Holmes address if he'd been, you know, real. Part of his lease involves answering the letters, a job he's assigned to younger brother Nigel. But one letter sends Nigel on a trip to Los Angeles with Reggie close behind. What has Nigel stumbled into?

I'm not a huge Sherlock Holmes fan, but I was intrigued by this book. Turned out to be a fun twisty read with good characters. It took a little bit to feel like I was part of the story, but once I got going, I couldn't put it down.
