Die Bande aus der Baker Street

I know that the language and music are chock full of anachronisms. But that doesn't bother me. This is not the first show to introduce anachronisms to tell a story to a more modern audience and it won't be the last. Also, the detractors seem to think that Sherlock Holmes and Co. Have been needlessly included in this supernatural story. That is a fair criticism if you are deeply wedded to the idea of the Sherlock Holmes ACD dreamed up. But there have been SO many versions of the SH character that considering that as a criticism does not hold much water any more.

So did I like the show? Yes. The cast was good with decent acting from most of them. The reveals and mysteries were interesting to hold my attention. The monsters of the week actually made me care about them.

I say give it a chance. But please leave your preconceived notions about what a story involving Sherlock Holmes and that era should be like, and just enjoy the ride.

I honestly don't understand the hate for this show. It's entertaining, with good visuals and plot. It has mistery, supernatural, and a mix between historic London with modern elements in production (e.g. Music). Without comparing it to any other show, this is binge-watching worthy.

Stop giving hate online just cause you have access to internet and can type crap from a keyboard. Respect the work that has been put in this show (and any show in general), and don't take away the interest of others from it. Target audience might be indeed young adults, but as an adult I still find this pretty entertaining. :)

Ok, I'll be honest, I didn't like episode one, and I nearly quit, leaving a poor review, however...

Give it a chance, and you may be surprised. I am a bit of a traditionalist when it comes to Sherlock Holmes, I like authenticity, and I expected this to follow suit, it doesn't, so don't go in expecting authenticity.

Does it look like Victorian London? Never in a million years, and who is this series aimed at? At a push I would say early to mid teens with an enjoyment for the macabre, at times it does feel like a teen drama.

However it is beautifully made, exciting, macabre, and it's interesting to see what the writers do with our beloved Baker Street Regulars, you will love or hate them, they're certainly different.

It gets better mid way through the series, and when to get a few more of the regulars, it feels more familiar, I got more out of it.

Stick with it, it's worth it in the end, 7/10.

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.

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.
