    The vintage interview footage featuring Doyle himself is one of the more fascinating aspects of the program, as is Ms. Worsley’s peripatetic journey to link Holmesian detection with modern methods of criminal investigation and prosecution.

    I’m very much enjoying Killing Sherlock as Lucy Worsley shows us week by week how desperate Arthur Conan Doyle was to be taken seriously. .... What really shows in this series is how invested in and enthused by it Worsley is.

    Along the way there are archive images, the now standard cosplay/docudrama visuals, and background details (Conan Doyle’s father, also creative, suffered from alcoholism and mental health struggles). While I’m more of an Agatha Christie buff, I still found it engrossing.
