I... yeah. I mean, it's not all bad, the characterization is mined from an even purer vein of slashnip than the RDJ movies, the actors are all good at what they do, and attractive without being interchangeable Hollywood bland the way the BBC usually manages, and while there is def. a misogyny issue, the female characters are interesting, and developed, and there are quite a few of them. Sometimes they even talk to each other about things other than men! (I quite liked the female scientist in Baskerville, I would be willing to dump everything else in the episode but keep her.)

But not going on my top ten list of Holmes universes anytime soon. (Which at the moment contains the originals, Madelyn Mack, RDJ movies, Bucketeers, Study in Emerald, Granada, Mary Russell books, Irene Adler books, Lonesome October, and Snarkout Boys. But of course there are a lot I don't know yet.)


(Irene is a brilliant character, yet manages to regress, in terms of feminism, not even backwards from canon!Irene, but backwards from Vyssu. If a guy writing a Libertarian tract in the late '70s is doing better than you, Moff, perhaps you should rethink things.)
