Season 1:
While the set pieces and scale of the show is to be commended. It has a lacking of true character development and a compelling story. I was bored throughout the show a number of times. Leaving me to believe that this could have maybe been half the time it currently is. There is a lot of needless dilemmas and major plot points that go... nowhere.

The three main actors are very good together. Dakota Fanning shows off her role vibrantly and strong. The other two are a more lazy Sherlock and Watson duo.

The show had a reported five million dollar budget per episode, and it shows. The sets were amazing, having a very gloomy and claustrophobic atmosphere.

I don't think it is worth the watch if you aren't into timepieces or phycological investigating rather than physical. It feels bland and that's not because of the beautifully dark cinematography.

Season 1 - 5/10
