I've just watched the trilogy of "Enola Holmes" for the first time (except for that one time when we watched the first film in 7th or 8th grade and I did not like it) and I enjoyed myself throughout all of the films. Sure, the "mystery" - if we can even call it that - in the third film was much more obvious from the beginning than in the previous films, but it was still enjoyable. If I were to give a review, then I'd say it's not worth watching more than once, but it's still worth watching. At least the mysteriesnwere treated better than in BBC Sherlock.
Oh, I guess I should mention that while watching, I was comparing the trilogy to BBC Sherlock as I have not watched any other shows that touch on the Arthur Conan Doyle universe (except House M.D. i guess (?)). Well, Sherlock is at least more likeable in Enola, but my biggest problem is that, although BBC Sherlock was not very good, it wasn't so fanfic-y as Enola. It was simply a badly written show.
With Enola I can't shake the feeling of reading someone's self-insert fanfiction and it's annoying to say the least. It's not a bad thing to write OCs and whatever but I just don't. Care. About someone else's OC. Ooh, Enola is so smart, and a woman, and ooh, Sherlock is so nice to her, and he isn't misogynistic somehow, ooh, and Enola gets the boy. Okay.
I change my mind. If someone likes reading about other people's OC, then they should like these films. The mysteries in the 1st and 2nd films aren't half bad. They honestly reminded me of a certain case fic from House M.D. Still, if someone is more interested in crime solving than in romance, then go watch some criminal show and don't bother.
P.S.
Three things: what the fuck was that wedding dress, how annoying can that mother be, and why did no one stop tewksberry, or however you write it, from resiging from office where he could. Actually have influence. And do something.
P.P.S.
Those special effects gave me flashbacks and I couldn't stop laughing when they were on the screen bc I half-thought they were going to tell me through them that I am an alcoholic somehow
