Die Bande aus der Baker Street

Saying something isn't historically accurate, when a show is dealing with a Sherlock Holmes universe and supernatural is completely idiotic. The show is fun, entertaining and something different. Most of the characters have an arc that is quite interesting and while some of the back story of some of the characters is a bit too much, overall it is okay. Each episode is a story in of itself and continues the narrative. Criticizing a show or fans of the show for being "woke", says more about you and less about the show, it is supposed to be fun entertainment not a documentary about London in the late 1800's.

Dont be fooled by the bad reviews. Sure its not for everyone. Its a mix of His Dark materials, meeting the Magicians with a touch of The Illusionist and The greatest showman, sprinkled with a dash of Discovery of witches.

I enjoyed that the music was modern and didnt 'fit in'. Tbh the soundtrack is pretty decent.

Acting alright. A bit of cliche here and there but overall entertaining. And thats what you want, right?

I am hopping for a season 2.

For anyone who is moaning and is unaware this show is based off of a graphic novel called the Baker Street irregulars. As someone who read the stories when I was younger I'd thought this was a great take on them and the mix of modern music and references is very much how the graphic novel was intended.

As mentioned in another comment, this series is based on a graphic novel and as such if you go into watching this expecting a straight up, familiar Sherlock Holmes story or even go into watching it hoping it'll be a new Supernatural of sorts, then yes, you will be disappointed. However with that said, since I did enjoy reading through those graphic novels as a teen prior to this show being made, I did enjoy it very much. Is it perfect? Of course not. But nothing is ever necessarily perfect for everybody. Could the music be better? Absolutely, though I also found it to help kind of redefine the life of the older and infused it with the new. No TV series or movies based on any literature are going to be 100% of what you hoped for after reading them. But this was a pretty good start. It's worth the chance as long as you give it a fair one and leave your expectations for preconceived notions about what you think it'll be at the door. Simply enjoy the experience.

I can see this is not everyone's choice in shows, however I don't think it deserves the bad reviews.
