Awful. What a great opportunity wasted. The only reason that I did not give this disc 1 star is that I thought the performances were well done. The creators of this show clearly have not read the Holmes canon and just have mapped a "regular" mystery onto a Holmes story. The concept of Mrs. Watson being brought into the "team" of Holmes of Watson is an admirable one, but not with the character being such a rebel... that would have been abhorrent to Watson (Holmes would have loved it, though.) The mystery and the MO (of both the detectives and criminals) are lame. Taken straight from a regular network show instead of utilizing the time period for something interesting. A wonderful opportunity to attempt something post-Brett simply squandered by poor writing, directing and producing. If producers want to use an old or rejected CSI script, please don't drag Mr. Holmes into it.
