When I saw this show announced I was excited for its arrival. What a letdown and false advertising. As a Sherlock Holmes fan this is an insult. It has no connection to the Holmes saga. It was another excuse for another medical show, of which there are too many on TV now. If they had at least been honest and introduced it as such, without the name Watson, I might have given it a chance. But I feel betrayed. Solving "medical mysteries" is as silly as medical shows with unlikely doctors. One critic had the nerve to mention this show in the same breath as Elementary. No comparison. The Holmes story wasn't used in that show to trick people into watching. Shame!

Silly, but not in a good way. Unlikeable characters; poor dubbing in which the English words don't always make sense. I know it's supposed to be played for laughs, but how stupid is it at the beginning when family members are racing each other to get to the house, and even though they're about 1/2 mile apart they're driving on the wrong side of the street and swerving from side-to-side with no other car in sight?

I guess it's a mystery but not very compelling. Family interaction, in which you can't decide which family member you hate the most; I watched it while reading a book. At least the book was good.

I LOVE love Murdoch mysteries. They're inventive, interesting & entertaining. But I just couldn't handle the musical episode. I like Broadway musicals, and I like Murdoch, but not combined.

I didn't think it added anything to the story or the concept. Maybe the writers didn't think this storyline was strong enough to support itself, and had to think of a way to keep it interesting.

Perhaps it would have been better received if it was done as a show in and of itself, not as an episode.

By the way, I did watch it all the way through. After all I love the characters and the show itself. Win some; lose some.
