Second verse, same as the first. Sometimes the knowing glances at the camera are perfectly timed, and sometimes they are over the top. Sometimes the mystery's intriguing, and sometimes it is laughable. Sometimes the interplay crackles, and sometimes it feels cartoonish. This series is filled with all the highs and all the lows. There's no doubt that Brown and Cavill kill it, but everything else struggles to keep up. If you have a middle schooler, it is a great intro to classic mysteries...but if you want a truly classic mystery, the BBC's Sherlock is a much better option. (Also, if we're ranking the Holmes adaptations, it is far from the bottom. And far from the top, as well.) As for the endings? Yikes.
