An interesting take on the Sherlock stories, I went into it with not too high hopes, it took an episode or two, the first isn't the best to start it and I had figured part of the mystery out fairly quickly but the show did pick up and by the time the final two episodes came I was invested in these characters and what they would have to face. My personal favourite would have to be the Stolen Virus. Overall it worked well, especially the final few moments. The series ending is something that if you know Sherlock Holmes stories that you'll see coming, unfortunately but the way it plays out is different to most versions which works well. Overall whilst it's not as good as Elementary, my all time favourite Sherlock Holmes, it is still a very enjoyable show. But if you're not getting into it by the end of episode three I would probably say give it a pass although I wouldn't judge it by the first episode alone as its probably the weakest one in the show which is unfortunate. But if you want a Sherlock story with a difference then give this a try. It can be a little slow in parts but overall its not too bad. Also the main two actresses do a very good job with their take on Sherlock, Yûko Takeuchi and Watson, Shihori Kanjiya (called Wato here), especially Takeuchi in the aforementioned final moments of the Stolen Virus. Other reviews will go into a lot more detail. Like I said not the best Sherlock ever but definitely an interesting take on it, that might leave you wanting more. I know I did by the end. God bless you and have a plesent day.
