Enola Holmes 2 (2022), directed by Harry Bradbeer
After her success with the Tewkesbury case, Sherlock’s little sister has set herself up in business as a private detective.
Unfortunately Victorian England affords little respect for independent young women and she is about to shut up shop when a case of a missing match girl comes her way.
This lands her in the middle of a murky commercial and political conspiracy, already under investigation by big brother, and sees her charged with murder.
It takes all her ingenuity and not a little help from family and friends to solve the case and save the day.
Breaking the fourth wall can be annoying, especially in a period piece, but Millie Bobby Brown is a delight as Enola and she pulls it off.
Henry Cavill and Helena Bonham Carter reprise their roles as Enola’s detective brother and suffragette mother, contributing to another thoroughly entertaining take on the Holmes legend. A Netflix success.
