- A Brilliant Take on a Classic
Ultimately this is a “Mary Sue,” but the cleverest and most thorough I’ve ever come across. Having a brilliant, appealing female protagonist so convincingly inserted into the Holmes world is immensely satisfying. Some may find it too edgy; I thought it was genius. More, please?

United States2 years ago - Pet Killing
I have a long list of issues with this show, but the on-stage pet killing and on-stage child torture and many instances of homophobia are sufficient to warrant a 1 star review. The entire plot revolves around mental illness, which is presented as entirely murderous and criminal, no nuance. Lots of the kinds of shallow “causes” for mental illness that reveal true disinterest in actual mentally ill people, though there’s plenty of fascination with the character. Mental health fares no better here ... more
Apple Podcasts1~ Violet ~United States4 years ago Excellent writing -- pulpy storytelling that genuinely has you on the edge of your seat. Genius' take on Jim Moriarty is one of the most fascinating and skin-crawling villain characters I've come across. Production quality is generally professional and slick -- this podcast's biggest flaw is the accent work, which is patchy at best and sometimes can be quite distracting. Hopefully the team can work with an accent coach for season two, which I really hope happens.
Podchaser45 years agolulamorashi- YOU WON’T REGRET IT!!

Apple Podcasts5Comedian Josh WilliamsCanada6 years ago - Riveting romance thriller
Wow, this show has flair. Mitchell Cohen is perfect as Jim Moriarty, giving Andrew Scott's flamboyant psychopath version a run for his money. He wreaks havoc in casually brilliant ways and ably channels that repulsive charisma of villains you love to love and hate. The way he and Sabine circle each other as well as Sherlock Holmes kept me on the edge the whole time. The entire cast is superb. If there is one issue with this series, it's that the cliffhanger ending is particularly dissatisfying f... more
