This series plays like late 1990s, BBC spinoff of the Sherlock Holmes genre. And I say that in the best sense with the look and feel appropriately British and early century time frame. In this version, a young woman travels to London from California after her mother is murdered, following a clue that Sherlock Holmes is her father. She becomes entwined in a series of cases with him, effectively replacing the Watson character, honing her investigative skills with a brash, American sensibility. It's new, without feeling like a reboot. Well done.
4 stars (out of 5)
