Goofs
The door for 221B Baker Street has a knocker AND an electric doorbell. An electric doorbell wasn't common until after 1913, when electric transformers replaced batteries and were wired into the home's current. Sherlock Holmes lived at his 221B Baker Street from 1881 to 1904, a good few years before the electric doorbell would have been used.

Chapter One: An Unkindness in London

There have been shows about the Baker Street Irregulars before.

This is done with a Netflix twist. A computer algorithm was involved and the answer was: Give it a dark supernatural twist.

The first episode had glimpses of a heavily addicted Sherlock Holmes. An unkind Dr Watson seeks out some street urchins.

Bea is the leader of the pack but her sister Jessie has supernatural gifts. Along with Billy and Spike they gather information of some babies being stolen.

Some comedy is provided by Leo, a haemophilic prince who has the hots for Bea.

Tonally it is all over the place. I would have thought it would be aimed at teenagers but might be regarded as a bit too risque or just dark. Such as the young woman with her eyes pecked out.

There were nods to Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes movies. Some of the special effects were very well done.

An uneven first episode which only finds it form when Dr Watson shows up with a mission.
