Some might say that the new Sherlock Holmes show, The Irregulars, have failed Sir Conan Doyle. If you are comparing it to let's say, the Game of Thrones, then you will surely be disappointed. The cinematography is okay, music is gender appropriate. I decided not to delve into too much technicality since I am not a professional. I'm just a simple "movieholic" kinda gal.
The Irregulars is a fresh, delightful and binge worthy show to watch with the whole family. Teenagers watching with their parents need not worry about cringe inducing scenes for there are none.
Some of my go to genres when choosing what to watch are sci-fi/fantasy, suspense/thrillers and just a dash of drama. Definitely hate a mawkish plot. Having binge-watch most of the movies/series on Netflix we reconciled to watch this new Sherlock Holmes show.
The first episode started slow and the next and then the plot thickened and before I knew it, I was hooked! I fell in love with the characters. I felt their struggle and their love for one another. I remember my childhood friends growing up. Most of them no longer in my life. Yeah, how did that happen?.. Anyway my point is this:
When you're young, you do not really understand that pain and happiness go hand in hand. Allow yourself for a moment to relive that first fluttering of love and of the pain losing it.
“How do you stop loving someone?” Bea asks Watson. “When you don’t want to love someone anymore because it hurts too much, how do you stop?”
Bea's final dialogue.. so sappy yet I'll wait with hopeful anticipation for Netflix to renew The Irregulars for a second season.
