As a Holmesian, I find it offensive that Holmes, a radical human in every sense, should be cast as comically discombobulated by a young woman’s liberated behavior, however anachronistic it might be. But Mr. Thewlis provides a novel twist on an oft-visited character.
-
The cast gives excellent performances and elevates an otherwise passable series. Perhaps with time, the series will find its footing, and deliver something truly excellent, but from the first four episodes, Sherlock & Daughter is just simply alright.
-
Sherlock and Amelia are not exactly mentor and mentee, but something less interesting and indistinct. And yet the two of them working together would be a decent enough premise if we actually got to see them working together. The show prefers splitting them up, and when the focus is on Sherlock, it works.
-
It gives us a mish-mashed nothingburger of a show that will surely fade from our memories before it’s finished airing. Let’s hope for better parts for Hunt (veterans Thewlis and Scott will be fine regardless). And if you want some Sherlock, I suggest you look elsewhere.
