This could have been a great series, but nope. The Irregulars in this series has nothing to do with Sir Conan Doyles' irregulars. Apparently, in the late 1800's London, there's no bigotry, poverty or disease. A Prince rubs elbows with the unwashed poor. They become fast friends. It's not a mystery. It's a fantasy show. Tooth zombies, a bad guy pulls a Hitchcock. How? Why? Who cares? Deductive reasoning and logic don't matter. Superpowers, that's what's in, and racism? That never happened-if you believe these shows. I think the target demo are people who haven't read a Holmes story. If this was about the "real" irregulars- solving mysteries, providing valued data to Holmes and Watson, while dealing with the harshness of 1880's London, it could have been instructional about poverty, racism and how the poor are invisible to the society they inhabit. Also, why is Dr. Watson such an unlikeable character? He offers the girls money for their services-which is creepy, then threatens to send them to the work houses if they don't do what he wants them to do. The title should have been, 'The Merlin TV series revamp'

It's a show about commercials interrupted with 3 people that talk about nothing important. My wife liked the show until I showed her the ads to content ratio. The content is mainly gossip and opinions. We have other channels that are much better with content or we can watch something on YT . CBS this morning or CBS Mornings is just a waste of time. CBS has become the channel to watch if you love commercials.

It looks like people are polarized about this movie. Some loved it....not me. It's billed as a comedy horror. It's not funny and it's not that scary. The main character is a short fused, yelling nutter, incapable of the position he holds, an alcoholic having a nervous breakdown. I guess that's supposed to be funny? The effects are good and the story could have been better executed, but the stupid and dislikable characters makes this film almost unwatchable. The scenery is nice. One viewing was all I can handle. It did remind me of an old short story titled, "Taboo" by Geoffrey Household, written in the 1930's?

This would have been better as a comedy, titled, How idiots somehow survive a zombie apocalypse. Doors are left open. No one looks for weapons, supplies or a hardware store. There's a shocking lack of functional cars. TP is still on grocery store shelves. No radio, tv or internet, but the grocery store is fully stocked with electricity and a tv on in the background. No one turns on a radio. If aliens riding dinosaurs appeared in the background, I wouldn't be surprised.

A better adaptation than GITS. Maybe some people wanted Scarlett Johannson to play Spike? IMO John Cho is a good choice and overall the show is entertaining and at times feels like a Scifi Tarantino Fifth Element. Mustafa Shakir steals the show as Jet, Spike's sidekick. So, like most, I can find things to complain about. Like, why, in episode 1 does the yellow camaro change years? it's a '72, then a '70, then a '72. Maybe they need a better editor? A closeup of John Cho shows his contact lens. Other than that, it's worth a watch but don't expect a copy of the anime.
